X-PORT - Multi-Port Communications Interface Module!

FEATURES
  • High Speed Direct Data I/O for PMP1000
  • 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port
  • RS-232 Port (RJ-45 Connector)
  • Digital I/O with up to 19 User Defined Signals
  • FPGA Based PowerPC with 128 MB DDR2 SDRAM
  • User Programmable Xilinx FX12 FPGA

Product Overview

Signatec's new X-PORT is a multi-port communications module with a customizable FPGA that can be plugged onto the PMP1000 to provide all around flexibility for general purpose communications with:

    ● RJ45 Connectors for Gigabit Ethernet and RS232
    ● Definable 26-pin Digital I/O Header with Direct
       Pin Connections to Onboard FPGA
    ● Open Source Virtex-4 FX-12 FPGA with Power PC
    ● Logic Files Provided for Interfacing to PMP1000 Board

The X-Port module allows for position, time and/or any general purpose data to be combined with the analog signal capture record.  Other possible uses include remote system monitoring via the GbE connection, making the X-PORT an ideal component for RADAR and net-centric applications (just to name a few).  Below is an example of a typical X-PORT application.
