AcroPack Series of I/O mezzanine modules and carriers provide a cost-effective solution for a
modular approach to
system assembly
enabling application specific customisation.
Acromag’s new innovative PCIe-based AcroPackTM Series of general
purpose I/O modules for embedded computing applications are an extended version
of the mPCIe specification and feature a 100-pin connector to handle the I/O.
The modules plug into connectors on AcroPack™ carriers to add analog or digital
input and output or communication in any combination for embedded applications
running on Linux®, Windows®, or VxWorks® operating systems. Acromag’s AcroPack™
PCIe carrier holds up to two mini-PCIe or AcroPack™ mezzanine modules.
Four AcroPackTM mezzanine models will offer 32 isolated digital
input model AP440, 32 isolated digital output model AP445, 32 I/O channels with
0 to 60V model AP408, and four or eight UART ports RS232 model AP50x.
For easy integration of the AP modules with real time software
application programs, Acromag offers C libraries for VxWorks® and other
operating systems. The libraries provide generic routines (source code
included) to handle reads, writes, interrupts, and other functions.
Demonstration programs enable the developer to quickly exercise the I/O modules
before attaching the routines to the application program. This diagnostic tool
can save hours of troubleshooting and debugging.
The COTS product line of AcroPacks™ are ROHS compliant and ideal
for scientific development labs, military and aerospace applications, the defence
industry, and automation applications.
