IPM6

3U CompactPCI board with all on-board

The IPM6 incorporates on a 3U form factor the low power Pentium processor (Tillamook) from Intel. The new product is equipped with numerous features and offers next to a full set of standard PC features & interfaces.

Further more integrates the IPM6 specialties like: two serial interfaces, two USB interfaces, a 10/100 Ethernet on a RJ45 and as well as XGA Graphics for CRT & LCD. On-board available is also a SO-DIMM socket for SDRAM. The IPM6 is fully CompactPCI 3.0 compatible and integrates a PCI-PCI bridge on-board. Despite all those features the board requires only 4TE and tuned for a very low power consumption. Available from of the front of the board is USB, LAN and CRT. The serial signals are available on the BPIO. Through the BPIO can any serial interface be achieved. ( e.g. IrDA, RS422, RS485 half/full duplex...)

Very special is the on-board connector for the Remote MMI options (REMMI) for LCD & Touch connection that supports a distance of 15 Meter. Available transceiver Technology (Parallel, LVDS & PanelLink). Unique on the REMMI-R option is the availability of 2 x PS/2 ports each on a 6-pin mini-DIN connector and a RS232 and an USB interface next to the LCD.

The IPM6 is available for temperature 0°C to +60°C and optionally -40°C to +85°. All interfaces are ESD protected according the latest know-how.

Special efforts have been taken on the quality of the components, their long term availability and low power consumption of the system (< 9 Watts). All these features and its reasonable cost, make the IPM6 to the ideal solution for any application where a flexible, rugged long term available complete CompactPCI board is needed.
