Dear All,
Bi Ra Systems is proud to announce a New EPICS
supported hardware device called the General Purpose Fieldbus
Controller(GPFC)designed by DESY & IHEP. The GPFC is a compact and powerful
microcomputer based controller which supports unlimited applications connections
via the IndustryPack I/O interface. It was primarily designed as a compact and
economical solution for introducing advanced programming and operating
environment at the fieldbus level of accelerator control systems. The GPFC main
board has two IP slots, so that a wide range of commercially available plug-on
IP modules(CAN, Profibus, Ethernet, digital and analog I/O, etc) can be used to
configure it to application needs{APPLICATIONS UNLIMITED}.
The GPFC's extended(dual board) configuration allows 4 IP modules which provides
28 MB DRAM, 2 MB FLASH.
As a small manufacturing company, Bi Ra Systems
is pleased to support EPICS custom hardware for all within the HEP community. A
few GPFC will be available for evaluation.
Special thanks to Matthias
Clausen(DESY), Serguei Zelepoukine, Piotr
Vetrov(IHEP)
