Visit of Hytec Electronics Ltd.

Dear Colleagues,
Hytec will visit GSI on January 25, 2007. Please, feel free to join.

I would be nice if could send me a notify whether you would like to join. I could try to make a reservation for a discussion room.

I received following email from Peter Marshall:

Received email

Dear Dr. Brand, Here is a brief description of the two main areas we feel may be of interest to you and your group.

VME64x I/O range: An exciting new range of Analogue and Digital I/O modules conforming to the VME64x specification has been introduced by Hytec Electronics Ltd.

Fully Hot-Swap capable with auto power-up and using Industry Packs for extra functionality, the rapidly expanding range includes IP Carrier Boards, 24 Bit 8/16 channel ADC, 16-channel DAC, 32-channel Scaler, RS232/RS485 UART, Digital I/O, Motion Control and a range of Transition Boards.

IOC 9010 9010 1U Blade IOC Input Output Controller

The 9010 is 1U high rack mounting Input Output Controller with 6 industry pack slots each with a mini signal conditioning cards, one PMC slot and a PC104+ Celeron 400 processor, with Ethernet network (10/100)MHz, USB, 40GB hard disc and 512 RAM (1GB compact flash optional). As a system component it is available as an EPICS IOC running either RTEMS or LINUX, or as an OPC server. It will also support TCP/IP sockets and HTML web browser access. The functionality of the IOC is determined by industry packs fitted, these include ADC, DAC, I/O, Isolated I/O, RS232, RS485, Stepper Motor Controller and Scaler. In addition a PMC card slot provides access to the wide range of specialist cards.

If you feel that a group of people may be interested to see myself and Graham Cross on 25th January, then please let me know so that we can firm up our arrangements. If you feel it would be better for us to come at a later date, then please make a suggested alternative proposal.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. I will also send this via my personal email account, in case this does not get through.
