PCI I/O card features FPGA, 72 I/Os

The MESA 5I23 PCI bus general-purpose programmable industrial I/O card that uses a 400-Kgate Xilinx FPGA for all logic, so it is truly flexible. The FPGA configuration is downloadable from the PCI bus.

The card uses three I/O-module-rack-compatible 50-pin connectors with 24 I/O bits each. A 48-MHz crystal oscillator provides a reference clock which can be multiplied by the FPGAs DLLs for higher clock speeds. Several premade functions are provided, including a 12-axis servo motor controller, a 24-channel quadrature counter, and many versions of the SoftDMC motion controller including 4- and 8-axis versions for step motors. ($153 ea/100—available now.)
