Kahlua Box - Industrial Control System

PDF¤U¸ü

Product Description

The Kahlua Box is a powerful, small footprint control unit for low-cost target applications based on the Kahlua PowerPC processor family.
The core of the Kahlua Box is a single-board computer based on the MPC8245/300MHz which delivers 450 MIPs. It comes with scalable memory of up to 512MB DRAM via SO-DIMM (256MB mounted as a standard) and with a user-friendly ATA-compatible CompactFlash slot. Two 100-Mbit Ethernet interfaces can be used both for standard networking functions and for fieldbus connection. One serial interface is available as RS232 via RJ45, and another three UARTs can be configured as RS232, RS422/485 or TTY, with or without optical isolation, via SA adapters. A real-time clock, watchdog, temperature monitor, hex switch, and user LEDs make the SBC complete.
The modular combination of I/O functions allows for tailor-made control systems, which can be expanded later. The Kahlua Box combines M-Modules, PC-MIPs and PMCs, the three most important ANSI mezzanine standards with worldwide acceptance and an unlimited spectrum of I/O options.
As a model with three M-Module slots, the SBC in the Kahlua Box is especially suited for industrial control with diverse process I/O, drive control and instrumentation functions. The SBC with three PC-MIP slots offers a multitude of expansion options for computing functions, e. g. through graphics and additional mass storage and serial interfaces. Another model with two PMC slots makes the Kahlua Box a suitable platform for complex data and telecommunications applications.
All three versions can be extended by four additional M-Modules controlled by the CPU via CPCI bus and mounted on a carrier board on the second level.
Packaging of the Kahlua Box has been designed to provide optimum space saving. Apart from control electronics, the aluminum EMC enclosure is equipped with a 24-V DC power supply. For mass storage needs, the Kahlua Box can be equipped with a 2.5" hard disk. All Ethernet and serial lines as well as the I/O signals of the different mezzanine cards are available at the front of the Kahlua Box - concentrated on one side only. The whole unit can be directly mounted to any type of machine in any position.
