Schroff, one of the industry's leading manufacturers of CompactPCI Microcomputer Packaging solutions, has unveiled a complementary range of 19" power supplies.
Cut-down prices for CPCI
Europac Integral offers all the benefits of a standard CPCI system including high stability, robustness and EMC shielding but at a far-reduced cost.
Offering a wide input-voltage range and power factor correction, the integrated PSU allows all eight slots of the backplane to be utilised for board assemblies.
The second case is a 5U-wide, 300mm-deep version equipped with a front-pluggable 19in power supply and a seven-slot VME64x system backplane.
Providing enough space to accommodate a variety of different drives, both tower cases incorporate fan cooling that directs air from the bottom to the top through the system.
A microcontroller-based fan control module (FCM) regulates the fan speed according to the temperature within the system and also filters interference from the fan in accordance with the levels set in the VME standard.
Using proven technology, the new VME64x tower systems are based on the internal assembly of Schroff's europacPRO subrack and the external appearance of the ratiopacPRO system case.
In addition to its wide range of subracks, cases and cabinets, Schroff also offers a comprehensive system integration service that enables customers to reduce overheads and product development times by outsourcing some or all of their design and manufacturing activities.
