I/O modules

Speedgoat I/O modules allow you to connect your target machine with your hardware under test. Based on your project specific requirements Speedgoat provides fixed-functionality as well as multi-function and configurable I/O, protocol, and other algorithmic functionality.

Multi-functional FPGA-based I/O modules are typically used to implement special I/O (PWM, Capture, Quadrature Decoding, ...) and protocol functionality (SPI, SSI, I2C, EnDat 2.2, ...) and to implement control loop algorithms running at highest cycle-rate.

It is one of Speedgoat’s key competencies to help you select the right set of I/O modules for your specific requirements by making sure that:

• they have the right characteristics for your application
• the selected modules lead to the smallest possible latency
• the Speedgoat xPC Target drivers access the I/O modules in its most efficient and flexible way
• the I/O connectivity is covered by the smallest possible amount of I/O modules
• they include the right transceivers for signal connection

Unless otherwise mentioned all I/O modules are delivered with a prewired terminal board, a cable, xPC Target drivers, and Simulink test models.

Most Speedgoat I/O modules are in the PMC form factor and can be used in all Speedgoat real-time target machines with the exception of the Classic real-time target machine supporting I/O modules in the PC/104 form factor.

Fixed-functionality I/O modules

Analog	High-resolution, high-speed, simultaneous sampling, ...
Digital	Parallel, TTL, 12V, 24V, high-drive, opto-coupled, ...
Serial	Asynchronous (RS232/RS422/RS423/RS485), synchronous (SDLC, HDLC, ...), ..
Protocols	SSI, CAN, J1939, real-time UDP, Raw Ethernet, SPI, I2C, EnDat, ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, ...
Shared Memory	For high speed data transfer between two target machines or third-party nodes
Audio/Speech	Audio/speech optimized analog I/O modules, XLR panels, total solutions, ...

Configurable FPGA-based I/O modules

Pulse-train	PWM, capture, quadrature decoding, hall, ... for TTL, RS422, RS485, LVDS, LVCMOS, ...
Protocols	SSI, SPI, I2C, ... for inter-system, -sensor/actuator, and -chip protocols
Analog	Analog I/O with lowest latency and/or special synchronization schemes
Algorithmic implementations	Highest cycle-rate algorithmic implementations in combination with above functionality for very fast inner control loops

Speedgoat continuously extends its set of supported I/O connectivity. Please contact us in case you can't find what you're looking for.
