Hot-swap PMC carrier will help to keep systems up
The new cPC2PMC from BVM Limited is a 6U Hot Swappable CompactPCI carrier, enabling two PMC modules to be added to a system.
The industrial motherboards differ from typical desktop machine versions in that they are fitted with PCI expansion slots, enabling a direct interface for both standard and specialist industrial I/O cards, frequently only produced in PCI format.
Another important feature for industrial applications is the inclusion of a watchdog timer to reset the system in the event of a software crash.
The motherboards are designed with long-life components wherever possible, providing manufacturing repeatability for three to five years from product launch.
With the PC market so fast moving, it is only through careful initial design and component selection that any particular design of board can continue to be available for a reasonable period of time.
A selection of rack mount chassis and I/O cards completes the lineup, allowing bespoke systems to be created with minimum time and effort.
