July 7, 2009—PCI-SYSTEMS Inc. , a leading supplier of conduction cooled systems, today announced a NEW VPX 3U Conduction and air Cooled Rugged Enclosure , enabling accelerated development of rugged conduction cooled and air cooled boards.
accepts conduction cooled VPX boards and air cooled VPX boards at the same time
PCI-SYSTEMS Inc. manufactures a variety of COTS modular designed conduction cooled chassis for VPX, VME, CPCI and CPCIexpress applications.
Two level maintenance models include 3U, 6U, ATR, ARINC600 and custom chassis and all are available with interchangeable backplane and bus versions.
Also, during development, each slot has its own rear I/O PCB to ease definition and testing of the final custom wiring. This setup can be easily exchanged with a custom rear I/O PCB set.
Therefore cost of ownership is minimized, since development and production versions of the chassis have the same basic design components.
VPX versions are available with a PCIexpress bus implementation on the backplane, having up to 8 lanes per slot and a PCIexpress 64 lane switch.
Current CPU boards are available with x4 or x8 lane PCIexpress configuration and include a Intel core duo board based on the Intel 3100 chipset with ECC and a Freescale MPC8572E CPU dual core PowerPC processor board.
Boards are fixed in place with wedge locks to insure good heat conduction to the chassis and vibration control. This is an ideal solution as a hardware/software development platform and can be easily upgraded for full rugged projects.
PCI-SYSTEMS Inc. develops and manufactures intelligent CPU and peripheral boards as well as advanced mechanical design solutions in the US and Germany for many platforms that provide precision control of robotic and automated equipment in the semiconductor, medical and industrial equipment markets as well as for ruggedized embedded OEM applications in airborne and defense applications.
