Motherboard keeps power consumption low
With a combined thermal design power of less than 5W for the processor and chipset the Kontron KTUS15/mITX motherboard is suitable for solar/battery powered applications.
Embedded PC suits avionics applications
The Kontron MEC-PPC-AV1 modular embedded computer offers a large range of I/Os such as Ethernet, general purpose I/Os, serial lines and MIL-STD-1553 links.
The CP383 provides a sophisticated range of features.
The module can be configured as required for all popular digital sensor and actuator voltages and it includes essential protection features.
The CP383 can be supplied preconfigured as a plug and play module on request.
The optional preconfiguration involves application-specific programming of: debouncing (reduction of the maximum impulse rate); input capture and compare; and input event detection.
The sophisticated APIs allow easy integration of the module with an application, as it is only necessary to access one node to be able to access all other nodes in the system.
Kontron Modular Computers provides extensive software support for the CP383, which covers all popular operating systems, such as Windows XP, Windows NT, Windows 2000, VxWorks and Linux.
The 16 input channels of the CP383 are designed for both low (-3 to +5V) and high (+11 to +30V) input voltages, where each channel is independently controlled.
The maximum input current is 5mA and the input resistance ranges from 1.5 to 6kohm for an input voltage of 30V.
Input protection (ESD) is up to 8kV.
Each of the 16 output channels has an output voltage range of 9.5 to 35V and can deliver a maximum output current of 500mA per channel.
The board features a switch-on/switch-off delay of 20us.
Low voltage protection (upper threshold: 9.5V) and an overload protection of up to 1.2A also are included.
The digital I/O card is equipped to satisfy the increased safety demands of industrial applications by including reverse polarity and overtemperature protection, with shutdown occurring at 150C.
The protective insulation is up to 2kV. Request a free brochure from Kontron UK ...
