NI VXIpc-870B Series Embedded Pentium III VXIbus Controllers

Product core positioning

Product Name: NI VXIpc-870B Series Embedded Pentium III VXI Bus Controller

Core advantages: Combining desktop PC full functionality with VXI system specific control capabilities, sturdy structure, suitable for harsh environments, providing cost-effective VXI embedded control solutions

Model differentiation:

Model Core Differences Applicable Scenarios

Scenario where VXIpc-871B integrates 24X max CD-ROM drive and requires on-site installation/operation of application software

VXIpc-872B is equipped with one PCI expansion slot (supporting full-size/short size cards) for scenarios where third-party PCI peripherals need to be expanded

Key hardware configuration

Core Processing and Storage

Processor: Intel Pentium III 1.26 GHz (FC-PGA2 package, 512KB L2 cache, 133MHz AGTL+system bus)

Memory: 128MB PC133 SDRAM (2 SO-DIMM slots, upgradable up to 512MB, supports 128MB/256MB expansion modules)

Storage:

Basic configuration: Internal 1.44MB floppy disk drive+minimum 15GB hard disk (hard disk specifications are subject to technical updates, please consult the manufacturer)

Optional configurations: internal IDE solid state drive, front mounted pluggable ATA solid state drive (replacing hard drives, suitable for harsh environments)

Display and Interface

Display: Intel 82815 integrated graphics card (DMVT technology, dynamic shared system memory), supports the following resolutions and colors:

Maximum number of colors in resolution

640×480 16 million colors

800×600 with 16 million colors

1024×768 with 16 million colors

1280×1024 16 million colors

1600×1200 256 colors

Key interfaces:

Network: 10/100BaseT Ethernet (RJ45, auto negotiate rate)

Storage Expansion: Wide Ultra2 SCSI (LVD/SE mode, 40Mtransfers/s transfer rate, compatible with single ended devices)

Instrument control: GPIB (IEEE 488.2, 26 pin micro interface, supports HS488 protocol, speed up to 8Mbytes/s)

Other interfaces: 2 RS-232 serial ports, 1 IEEE 1284 parallel port, 2 PS/2 interfaces (keyboard/mouse), 2 USB 1.1 interfaces (only supported by Windows 2000), 2 PC Card slots (2 Type I/II or 1 Type III, only supported by Windows 2000)

VXI bus core functions

Address access: Customize ASIC through MITE/MANTIS, support multi window address mapping (3 user configurable windows), covering the entire VXI address space

Data transfer: MITE integrates 2 DMA controllers, supports block mode transfer, and frees up CPU resources

Slot 0 Function: Complete Slot 0 resource management (including MODID register, CLK10 clock source), supports automatic switching between Slot 0 and non Slot 0 (without jumper configuration)

Synchronization and triggering: Front end SMB interface (external CLK10 synchronization, 2 trigger I/O), supporting TTL/ECL trigger lines, event counting, pulse generation, etc

Interrupt handling: Supports all interrupt lines of VXI bus, configurable interrupt assertion and processing priority

Software and Compatibility

Supporting operating systems: Windows 2000, Windows NT, VxWorks, Linux 2.2/2.4 kernel (some features such as USB are only supported by Windows 2000)

Core software: NI-VXI/NI-VISA (compatible with VXIplug&play specifications, supporting various programming environments such as LabVIEW and Visual C++), NI-488.2 (GPIB device control)

Software advantages: Cross platform compatibility (supports MXI-2/3 interface PC), reusable software investment, supports PC Card startup (VxWorks/Linux system, requires BIOS configuration)
