AP483: Eight 32-Bit Counter/Timer Module Description

Support for internal or external triggering simplifies the synchronization of operations to specific events.

Designed for COTS applications these RS422/RS485 & TTL counter/timers deliver high-speed and high-performance.

AcroPack modules are RoHS compliant and ideal for military, defense, automation, aerospace, scientific, and development labs industries.

The AP483 module is 70mm long, this is 19.05mm longer than the full-length mini-PCIe card at 50.95mm. The board’s width is the same as mPCIe board of 30mm and they use the same mPCIe standard board hold down standoff and screw keep out areas.

A down facing 100 pin Samtec connector will mate with the carrier card. Fifty of these signals are available as field I/O signals.

The AP483 maintains the same functionality and memory map of the existing Industry Pack modules providing a smooth transition to the AcroPack I/O modules.
