DescriptionSBS Technologies FLEX/104A PC/104 Carrier Board
OverviewOver the past decade, the PC architecture has become an accepted platform for far more than desktop applications. By standardizing hardware and software around the broadly supported PC architecture, embedded system designers can save substantial development costs, risk and time. Another important benefit of using the PC architecture is that its widely available hardware and software are significantly more economical than traditional bus architectures such as VME and Multibus. This means lower production costs.For these reasons, companies dealing with embedded systems seek ways to reap benefits of the PC architecture. However, the standard PC and its associated card cage and backplanes are too bulky and expensive for most embedded systems. The PC/104 standard was developed in response to these needs. PC/104 offers full architecture, hardware and software compatibility with the PC bus, but in ultra-compact (3.6 X3.8 in.), stackable modules.PCs based on '286, '386, and '486 microprocessor configured with several Mbytes of memory and at various clock speeds are available in the PC/104 format. In addition, a variety of I/O cards compatible with the PC/104 standard are available.The Flex/104 & Flex/104A carrier boards combine the IndustryPack bus for flexible analog and digital I/O and PC/104 for low-cost embedded control to create a powerful system solution for embedded applications.The Flex/104 board provides a platform for modular growth using IndustryPack within aPC/104 based system. A single Flex/104 board may hold up to two IndustryPack (IP) modules. Multiple FLEX/104 boards may be stacked to provide expansion for additional IP modules. A PC/104 computer handles addressing and control of the IndustryPacks. The IP bus interface of the Flex/104 board is fully compatible with hundreds of different IP modules providing analog and digital I/O, memory and communications.
Key FeaturesEach FLEX/104A board may contain up to two IndustryPack (IP) modules. Up to three FLEX/104A boards can be addressed and controlled via the PC/104 connector. FLEX/104A interface logic is provided by a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), making the design more flexible and field-upgradeable. Custom logic may be implemented as required.
