AMC304

A MicroTCA module with serial or USB ports is an AMC plug-in board that adds external communication interfaces to a MicroTCA chassis.

It may provide:

• Serial ports: RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485
• USB ports: USB 2.0, USB 3.x, host, or device connections
• Sometimes CAN bus, UART, or GPIO interfaces
• Front-panel connectors for cables and external equipment
• A PCIe, USB, or Ethernet connection to a processor through the MicroTCA backplane

Typical uses include connecting:

• Sensors and measurement instruments
• Industrial controllers and motor drives
• Debug consoles and maintenance terminals
• USB storage devices, cameras, or peripherals
• Legacy serial equipment

As a standardized platform of PICMG MicroTCA systems are typically used in medical applications, telecommunications as well as in measurement systems for industrial and scientific applications (e.g. particle physics).

Description:

The AMC304 is a single module, compact-size AdvancedMC (AMC) based on the AMC.1 specification. The AMC304 provides sixteen RS-232 ports with hardware handshake support (RX, TX, RTS and CTS). The ports are available through the front panel with a high-density connector. We offers an adapter cable to convert the high-density connector to standard DB-9 ports.

For a different front panel I/O connector, contact EMCOMO sales.

Key Features:

• AMC.1 compliant
• x1 PCIe lane on Port 4 or Port 8
• Single module, compact-size (mid-size and full-size options available)
• Sixteen RS-232 serial ports using a high density connector
• Optional adapter cable to convert the high density connector to standard DB-9 connector, one per port (see ordering options)
• IPMI 2.0 compliant
• RoHS compliant
