SIU34: 3U OpenVPX Sensor Interface Unit

North Atlantic Industries introduces SIU34, the new rugged COTS configurable system designed to support mission critical applications demanding high I/O density, communication ports, Ethernet connectivity and processing. SIU34 features a versatile and scalable design based on Open VPX architecture that allows up to four 3U boards to be integrated from a wide selection of more than 70 models, allowing system I/Os to be customized by trimming their features accordingly to the target application. Available single board computers feature QorIQ T2080, Intel Core i7 or ARM Cortex CPUs. In addition, SIU34 offers compatibility with common operating systems including Wind River VxWorks, Xilinx PetaLinux, Microsoft Windows and DDC-I Deos. SIU34 rugged system occupies a small footprint of only 239 x 145 x 150 mm including connectors, complies with MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-1275, and MIL-STD-704 standards, supports -40°C / +71°C operating temperature, and offers several cooling options including conduction-cooling and air/convection-cooling, making it an ideal choice for applications such as Data Acquisition (DAQ), Fire Control & Targeting System (FCTS), Remote Data Concentrator (RDC), Vehicle Management System (VMS) and Aircraft Interface Unit (AIU).
