A universal CompactPCI Serial<br />

peripheral board provides flexible serial<br />

communication via an individual mix<br />

of UART and fieldbus interfaces and is<br />

targeted at mission-critical industrial,<br />

mobile and harsh environment<br />

applications. Although equipped<br />

with five standard interfaces, the<br />

G215 from Men Micro features a<br />

configurable FPGA IP core that offers<br />

nearly unlimited interface options<br />

that enable several functionalities. Developed for use in harsh embedded<br />

environments, the G215 has an operating temperature range of -40° to<br />

+85°C, with all components soldered to withstand shock and vibration.<br />

The use of Altera's new Cyclone 4 high-performance FPGA enables users<br />

to develop intelligent applications, as found when using programmable<br />

processors, such as a Nios softcore. The FPGA also handles fieldbuses such<br />

as CAN, InterBus-S or the vehicle bus IBIS. Pricing for the G215 is $490.<br />

Vision Applications<br />

Serving military<br />

vision and control<br />

applications, two<br />

new additions to the<br />

reconfigurable I/O<br />

(RIO) technology<br />

from National<br />

Instruments include<br />

a reconfigurable Camera Link frame grabber for demanding embedded<br />

vision applications, and a motion module for the NI CompactRIO<br />

platform. The NI PCIe-1473R frame grabber is a PC-based embedded<br />

vision board that combines field-programmable gate array (FPGA)<br />

technology with a Camera Link interface to help engineers create highperformance<br />

embedded imaging and inspection applications. The NI<br />

9502 brushless servo drive C Series module makes it possible for engineers<br />

to drive brushless servo motors, including six new custom NI motor<br />

options, directly from the reconfigurable CompactRIO system to address<br />

advanced motion control challenges.<br />
