2 Slot Vpx Chassis
VPX (also known as VITA 46) is the next generation of ruggedized compact embedded systems. After years of VME systems dominating the military/aerospace field, users have finally reached the limit of available bandwidth on the VMEbus. Designed for 3U VPX and SOSA aligned modules, the AoC3U-410 is a 4 slot ATR chassis featuring dual removable high capacity drive bays. The conduction cooled chassis includes forced air cooling to widely available VITA 48.2.
OpenVPX Intro
The Slot Profile defines the connector type and provides a physical mapping of ports onto a given slot’s backplane connectors. Figure 1 shows a Slot Profile of a slot in a 3U VPX backplane. The chassis is small with a power supply and cooling for a small number of VPX boards. One of the more extreme examples is a recently announced development system, the Model 8257, from Pentek that has only one 3U VPX slot (See Figure 1). It is intended to be a quick start development platform designed for a specific 3U VPX.
OpenVPX is a high-speed serial platform used in Mil/Aero and other applications. The Eurocard-based form factor features 3U and 6U boards that are used in rugged or COTS enclosure platforms that are forced air cooled or conduction cooled. The high-speed architecture has backplane and board 'profiles' per VITA 65 (VITA 65.0 and VITA 65.1) to ensure interoperability. VITA 65 is an extension of VITA 46 to ensure compatibility.
Pixus has a virtually unlimited array of configuration options for 19' rackmount VPX Eurocard-based enclosures and a wide selection of rugged/ATR system platforms. We also provide configuration selection and integration services. As backplane experts, Pixus has a wide variety of standard backplane configurations/profiles as well as cost-effective customized solutions.
