• Extended i/o:
• DB-14064 daughter board with 64 bits  extended i/o
• input, output determined in 8 bit blocks.
• interface to grayhill or opto-22 i/o mounting racks.
• Note when using opto-22 G4PB24 you only get 48 of the 64 bits.
• (obsolete).IOM-1964 Opto-Isolation module for extended i/o controllers (like db-14064)
• Provides 64 opto isolated inputs and outputs
• provides 16 high power outputs capable of 500 mA each.
  
• By default supports quadrature encoder. For absolute encoders need to talk to galil developement.
• provides 10 base T etherenet connection as well as rs 232.
• I don's see anyway to expand this to more a/d inputs??
• dmc 1410 - isa bus interface
• dmc 1411 - pc/104 bus interface
• dmc 1417 - is a pci controller.
• The above 3 support quadrature encoders.

PC104 BUS PRODUCTS:

• MAZet MMI200-PC/104 ssi encoder interface for pc104 bus
• german company.

Misc.

• Motrona IV251 Converter from SSI to analogue and serial rs232/rs485
• Standalone unit that reads ssi encoder and outputs analogue signal.
• Also outputs the encoder reading as rs232 up to 38Kb.
  
• Probably too slow to use this to close the PI loop.

Atmel microcontrollers

AVR CPU Offerings:

• ATxMega family 8bit AVR cpus up to 32 bits
• AT32UC3 - 32 bit avr cpu microcontroller up to 66 Mhz.
  
• Naming convention: AT32UC3  {A} {1} nnn
• {A}
• A -
  
• B - n0 sdram, no ethernet
  
• C  - with fpu, adc speed MHz., with quad decoders.
• L  - no dac
  
• nnn flash kbytes

Developement boards:

• the Xplain boards come with various chips on them (i think).

Notes on evaluation boards:

• The i/o from these boards will probably all have to go through some signal conditioning boards.
