Performance real-time target machine - Drives & peripherals


Drives
Speedgoat equips the mainboard with a 1GB CompactFlash disk acting as the actual main drive, as the FreeDos installation and the xPC Target kernel only require a few MB of space! Furthermore, the use of a flash disk has the advantage that the operation of the machine is independent on a mechanically rotating hard disk.

For engineers who want to stream signal data onto a non-volatile media via xPC Target's file scopes at higher rates (>1kHz) for data logging, Speedgoat offers various hard disk option with anti vibration protection offering sufficient storage space.

For the host-target file and xPC Target kernel transfer each Performance real-time target machine furthermore comes with a 4GB USB memory device and an alternative external USB Floppy device.

Peripherals and Accessible Components
The rear of the chassis contains the AC power inlet and a main power switch, where as the following components are accessible at the front:

  • I/O module slots (PCI)
  • Gigabit Ethernet ports for host-target communication and real-time raw ethernet
  • USB ports for xPC Target kernel transfer and keyboard support (R2011a)
  • RS232 ports for back-up host-target communication and serial communication
  • VGA connector for TFT screen
  • PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse
  • Secondary pushbutton with integrated LED to soft-power or reset the machine
