Chip Sets Interface and Controller
Spring Electronics develop interfaces and controller solutions, all are widely used, tested and in mass production. All support advance control options under Spring Electronics GINI Controller (see https://springelec.com/solutions/inds/industrial-service-port/ as features example)
Short list can be find bellow.
Features
- Hardware interface and control – Hardware Base – CPU offload
- CPU do not handle the interface protocol format! Complete handled by FPGA
- Integrated within the system, simply add new services, update any of the service functions
- Service Build in Blocks:
- All modes share same command formats and text file for configuration.
- interface setup – Automatic interface setup, writes / read / configures registers, flexible configuration setup – base on text file.
- Auto Task / s – Automatic interface setup, writes / read / configures registers and status / alarms / interrupts, flexible configuration setup – Txt file (e.g. – for D2A service, writes values, read status automatically, on trigger / time base / CPU command)
- Managements task – Management write commands sequence (W/R)
- Multi Ports options – Support 128 physical channels
