CompactPCI® Serial USB 3.0-Schnittstellenkarte für datenintensive Anwendungen

• 4 USB-3.0-Hosts
• Datenraten bis zu 5 Gbit/s pro Richtung und Port
• -40 bis +85°C Betriebstemperatur

Nürnberg, 01. Juni 2012 – Durch die neue USB 3.0-Schnittstellenkarte G201 hat das CompactPCI® Serial-Portfolio von MEN erneut an flexiblen Möglichkeiten gewonnen. Die vier frontseitigen USB 3.0-Anschlüsse können zum Anschluss von schnellen 3.0-Devices genutzt werden oder die CPU-seitig vorhandenen USB-Schnittstellen mit 2.0 Funktionalität erweitern.

Bringt zusammen, was zusammen gehört: G201 mit USB 3.0 auf CompactPCI® Serial

Mit den 4 USB-3.0-Host-Schnittstellen an der Front der G201 sind Datenraten von bis zu 5 Gbit/s pro Port möglich. Zehnmal schneller als der Vorgänger USB 2.0 kommt die Schnittstelle der Zukunft also gerade richtig für die Anbindung sämtlicher externer Speichermedien und Geräte für datenintensive Anwendungen, wie z.B. Highspeed-Kameras.

In Kombination mit einer CompactPCI®-Serial- oder CompactPCI®-PlusIO-CPU treffen die hohen Übertragungsgeschwindigkeiten von USB 3.0 auf eine ebenso leistungsfähige und schnelle Plattform. Ein CompactPCI®-Serial- oder Hybrid-System wird so zu einer zukunftssicheren Lösung.

Durch die Verwendung des Steckertyps A für die über PCI-Express angebundenen USB-Ports sind die Schnittstellen rückwärtskompatibel zu USB 2.0. Beim Steckertyp A kann ein Gerät mit 2.0-Stecker problemlos über einen USB 3.0-Port und umgekehrt betrieben werden.

Die CompactPCI®-Serial-Peripheriekarte G201 ist nicht nur schnell, sondern auch widerstandsfähig in rauen Umgebungen. Sie ist für den Einsatz im erweiterten Temperaturbereich geeignet und gegen Feuchtigkeit und Staub zum Lackieren vorbereitet.

MEN Mikro Elektronik – Profile and Mission

Embedded Solutions - Rugged Computer Boards and Systems for Harsh, Mobile and Mission-Critical Environments

Since its foundation in 1982 our company has designed and manufactured failure-safe computer boards and systems for extreme environmental conditions in industrial and safety-critical embedded applications.

With over 250 employees and subsidiaries in France and the USA we have an annual revenue of nearly 50 million Euros with an export share of more than 40%. Customized solutions make for more than half of our revenue. Starting with the development phase, through the design-in and beyond we are at our customer's disposal with advice and support. In addition the standard product range includes far more than 100 different computer boards with x86 and PowerPC® technology with the corresponding BIOS, BSP and driver software, manifold I/O boards and completely configured systems based on:

• CompactPCI®, CompactPCI® PlusIO, CompactPCI® Serial and VMEbus SBCs
• Safe computer assemblies, certifiable according to DAL and SIL
• Box PCs and panel PCs
• ESMexpress®, ESMini™ and ESM™ Computer-On-Modules
• PMC, XMC and M-Modules™ as system-independent mezzanine I/O standards
• Network components, gateways and Ethernet switches

The consistent use of FPGA technology gives us high flexibility when configuring customized and standard products.

Our products are used worldwide as control, measuring, test or simulation computers in all kinds of embedded applications. These are extremely safety-critical mobile markets like railway, buses, agricultural machines, commercial vehicles, avionics and shipbuilding as well as other mission-critical applications in industrial automation, power generation, mining and medical engineering. Computer systems in such applications are in operation up to 24 hours every day and often need to be available for 10 years and longer. Ideally no failures must occur to avoid costly downtimes of machines or danger to human life.

We are certified to EN 9100:2009 (aerospace), IRIS (railway), e1 (road traffic), ISO 9001:2008 (quality management) and ISO 14001:2005 (environmental management) in order to meet the severe quality requirements in critical applications and to offer our customers the highest quality in products and services while considering environmental protection and occupational safety on the basis of a recognized quality management system.

Our aim is to constantly improve and to provide the highest technology and innovation level. Our business ethics are determined by the principles of the United Nations' Global Compact Initiative (human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption).
