SYSTRAN expands I/O IP product offering.DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 1996--SYSTRAN Corp., developer of SYSTRAN's I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output Solutions (a suite of IP modules) and the SCRAMNet real-time computer communications network The transmission channels interconnecting all client and server stations as well as all supporting hardware and software. , today announced the introduction of four new products to their existing line of I/O Solutions. They are: the VME (Virtual Machine Environment) An operating system from Fujitsu Services (formerly ICL) that runs on its Series 39 mainframes. Introduced in 1975, VME is a comprehensive product that provides a variety of utilities for datacenter operations. 3SC2 IP module slave carrier, the REED25 discrete output IP module, the TESTIP, and the IP Bus Extender (1) A board that pushes a printed circuit board out of the way of surrounding boards for testing purposes. It plugs into an expansion slot, and the expansion board plugs into the bus extender. (2) A device that extends the physical distance of a bus. See repeater. Toolkit (Type III Type III may stand for:
VME3SC2 _______ The VME3SC2 is a VME3U carrier that supports two singlewide sin·gle·wide n. A mobile home 14 feet (4.3 meters) in width, used as a permanent residence. sin IP modules in a single VME slot. The carrier allows design engineers to mix and match IP modules to fit their individual I/O requirements. Special features include: up to 100 I/O points in a single VME3U slot; high-speed VMEbus to IP module interface (at speeds of up to 2.7 Mtransfers/sec.); total interrupt level assignment flexibility; and a large ground plane which reduces interference with sensitive analog components on IP modules. The VME3SC2 carrier complies with IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1014-1987 VME Specification, Revision C.1 (Oct. '85) and the IndustryPack Logic Interface Specification, Rev. 0.7.1. The price for the VME3SC2 carrier is $375. REED25 ______ The REED25 discrete output IP module is designed with relays that are magnetically shielded making it ideal for use in EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. sensitive environments. It can provide up to 125 discrete outputs through a single VME6U slot. Special features include: two 16-bit, write/read-back registers with no wait-states for increased speed; and a design that is the highest density technically possible. The REED25 complies with IndustryPack Logic Interface Specification, Rev. 0.7.1. The price for the REED25 is $365. TESTIP ______ The TESTIP's principle function is that of a carrier tester, with provisions for carrier evaluation. In addition, its power interrupt-support engine, and 111 read/write "memory" locations make it an ideal supplemental IP module when not being used as a carrier tester. Special features include: a software-controllable, 16-bit, 1 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. , "read-on-the-fly" timer that decreases programming time; and support for "hold" cycles on all valid transfers for simplified I/O carrier testing. The TESTIP complies with IndustryPack Logic Interface Specification, Rev. 0.7.1. The price for the TESTIP is $330. IP EXTENDER See Media Center Extender, bus extender and DOS extender. TOOLKIT ___________________ Companies designing IP modules, or system integrators using IP modules can use the IP Extender Toolkit to shorten the design cycle for developing or upgrading IP products. The IP Extender Toolkit allows an IP module to be extended up to two feet from any carrier board for testing and system integration activities. Special features include: only one slot required on the carrier with no additional power needed from the carrier or motherboard; and no I/O transfer delays between the IP carrier and the IP module, make the IP Extender Toolkit almost transparent to the user. Although the IP Extender Toolkit (Type III) is not an IP module, it is designed in accordance to the IndustryPack Logic Interface Specification, Rev. 0.7.1. The price for the IP Extender Toolkit is $280. Other SYSTRAN SYSTRAN System Analysis Translator I/O Solutions include: analog interfaces, digital/discrete interfaces, counter/timers, IP module bus extender toolkits, software support packages, and accessories. These I/O devices enable designers to specify and implement solutions with more flexibility than traditional host-based I/O boards. Their small form-factor and generic features make them useful for applications such as data acquisition, simulation, instrumentation, and process control. Located at 4126 Linden Ave., Dayton, OH 45432-3068 USA, SYSTRAN Corp. specializes in real-time shared-memory networking, I/O IP modules, and defense-related hardware/software research and development. -0- SCRAMNet is a registered trademark of SYSTRAN Corp.
