Description
The X-MAX-1 module is fitted with a 486 CPU with 8 KByte cache. The clock frequency of the local CPU is currently between 33 MHz and 100 MHz (internal), depending on the version.
The X-MAX-1 module is already fitted with extensive peripheral facilities. In addition to the Flash EPROM and RAM (of up to 16 Mbyte each) it has 4 timers, interrupt and DMA controller, a serial RS-232 interface with all modem control lines and a printer interface, a clock, a watchdog and voltage monitor. The clock can be buffered by an external battery. All interfaces are PC compatible.
The Flash EPROM on the X-MAX-1 module contains the OsX real-time multi-tasking operating system for up to 1024 tasks. Real-time programs for tasks such as measured data acquisition, control, PID controllers, function generators or FFTs are included with the module. Complete PLC protocols such as Siemens 3964/R, GE Fanuc and PROFIBUS are also available for serial communication.
Further CPU modules with even more powerful processors are under development, for instance with a strong ARM CPU. These CPU modules can be mixed in any combination on a MAX6pci carrier card. The carrier card can also be used in what is called "stand-alone" mode. In this case the application programs are in the Flash ROM of one of the modules, e.g. an X-MAX-1. Communication with the host computer then takes place via, for instance, a serial interface (RS-232, RS-485 etc.) or ethernet.
It is also possible to write your own real-time programs for the card, working in the familiar PC development environment.
