Cables:
Model 5025-551-X (Shielded Cable), or Model 5025-550-X (Non-
Shielded Cable): A Flat 50-pin cable with female connectors at both
ends for connecting AVME9630/9660, or other compatible carrier
boards, to Model 5025-552 termination panels. The unshielded cable is
recommended for digital I/O, while the shielded cable is recommended
for optimum performance with precision analog I/O applications.
Termination Panel:
Model 5025-552: A DIN-rail mountable panel that provides 50 screw
terminals for universal field I/O termination. Connects to all Acromag
carriers (or other compatible carrier boards) via flat 50-pin ribbon cable
(Model 5025-550-X or 5025-551-X).
Transition Module:
Model TRANS-GP: This module repeats field I/O connections of IP
modules A through D for rear exit from a VMEbus card cage. It is
available for use in card cages which provide rear exit for I/O
connections via transition modules (transition modules can only be used
in card cages specifically designed for them). It is a double-height (6U),
single-slot module with front panel hardware adhering to the VMEbus
mechanical dimensions, except for shorter printed circuit board depth. It
connects to Acromag Termination Panel 5025-552 from the rear of the
card cage, and to AVME9630/9660 boards within the card cage, via flat
50-pin ribbon cable (Model 5025-550-X or 5025-551-X).
Acromag provides a software product (sold separately) consisting of IP
module ActiveX (OLE) controls for Windows 98, ME, 2000, and XP
compatible application programs (Model IPSW-ATX-PCI). This software
provides individual controls that allow Acromag IP modules to be easily
integrated into Windows
application programs, such as Visual C++
,
Visual Basic
, and others. The ActiveX controls provide a high-level
interface to IP modules, eliminating the need to perform low-level
reads/writes of registers, and the writing of interrupt handlers
—all the
complicated details of programming are handled by the ActiveX controls.
These functions are intended for use in conjunction with an Acromag
personal computer carrier and consist of an ActiveX Carrier Control, and an
ActiveX control for each Acromag IP module, as well as, a generic control
for non-Acromag IP modules.
Acromag provides a software product (sold separately) to facilitate the
development of Windows (98/Me/2000/XP
) applications accessing
Industry Pack modules installed on Acromag PCI Carrier Cards and
CompactPCI Carrier Cards. This software (Model IPSW-API-WIN) consists
of low-level drivers and Windows 32 Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLS) that are
compatible with a number of programming environments including Visual
C++, Visual Basic, Borland C++ Builder and others. The DLL functions
provide a high-level interface to the carriers and IP modules eliminating the
need to perform low-level reads/writes of registers, and the writing of
interrupt handlers.
