Acromag APX4020 Series PCIe carrier cards

Metromatics has launched the APX4020 Series PCIe Carrier Cards, an innovative solution for industrial and embedded systems requiring versatile and high-performance I/O integration. Designed and manufactured by Acromag, this product is supported locally in Australia and New Zealand by Metromatics.

The carrier cards enable the integration of AcroPack and mini PCIe (mPCIe) mezzanine modules into PC/104 computing systems. These carrier cards offer a compact, rugged design suitable for demanding applications in defence, aerospace and industrial environments, where size, weight and power (SWaP) optimisation is critical.

The carrier cards feature dual module slots; this support for AcroPack and mPCIe modules enables users to mix or match a variety of I/O functions, including analog, digital, serial communication, avionics and FPGA computing.

The carrier cards are also fully compatible with PCIe/104 and PCI/104-Express formats, offering plug-and-play configuration and robust interrupt support. The cards are built for harsh environments, with extended temperature range, conduction-cooling options and fused power lines for enhanced performance.

The carrier cards feature dual 50-pin connectors on the front panel to simplify field I/O signal routing, thereby eliminating loose internal wiring. The carrier cards also provide comprehensive support for Linux, Windows and VxWorks operating systems for seamless integration into existing systems.

The APX4020 Series is designed for a range of applications, including data acquisition and control, test and measurement, simulation and communication systems.

The carrier cards are designed to deliver versatility, enabling industries to maximise performance while minimising system complexity and costs. Their rugged design and advanced computing capabilities make them a suitable choice for leading industrial and embedded system integrators.
