Hardware
The DS1103 PPC Controller Board is specifically designed for
development of high-speed multivariable digital controllers and
real-time simulations in various fields. It is a complete real-time control
system based on the PowerPC 604e processor. For advanced I/O
purposes, the board includes a slave-DSP subsystem based on the
Texas Instruments TMS320F240 DSP microcontroller.
The DS1103 PPC Controller Board is a standard PC/AT card that can be
plugged into a PC using the ISA bus as a backplane. The card can also
be inserted in a dSPACE expansion box communicating with the host
PC via an ISA-bus extension or Ethernet.
For purposes of rapid control prototyping (RCP), specific interface
connectors and connector panels (see below) provide easy access to all
input and output signals of the board.
To demonstrate control design and implementation, demo equipment
(VCFP Simulator) is available for the DS1103.
Easy access to input and
output signals
Using an adapter cable you can link your external signals from the
100-pin I/O connector on the board to Sub-D connectors. So you can
make a high-density connection between the board and the devices of
your application via Sub-D connectors.
Specific interface connector panels provide easy access to all the input
and output signals of the DS1103 PPC Controller Board.
■ The CP1103 Connector Panel provides easy-to-use connections
between the DS1103 PPC Controller Board and devices to be
connected to it. Devices can be individually connected,
disconnected or interchanged without soldering via BNC
connectors and Sub-D connectors. This simplifies system
construction, testing and troubleshooting.
■ In addition to the CP1103, the CLP1103 Connector/LED Combi
Panel provides an array of LEDs indicating the states of the digital
signals.
