This unit
The Curtiss-Wright/ACRA Control KAD/BCU/105/D/00 is an Ethernet Backplane Controller Module for the KAM-500 chassis, delivering full-duplex 100BaseTX connectivity with integrated data acquisition and packet generation. Conformal coating protects against harsh operational environments. This module functions as a controller, programmer, and IPv4 packet generator - acquiring backplane data into an onboard Current Value Table, packetizing user-defined structures, and transmitting via UDP over Ethernet.

Curtiss-Wright / ACRA Control KAD/BCU/105/D/00 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Curtiss-Wright / ACRA Control KAD/BCU/105/D/00. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Curtiss-Wright / ACRA Control KAD/BCU/105/D/00 faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
Curtiss-Wright / ACRA Control KAD/BCU/105/D/00 price
This Curtiss-Wright / ACRA Control KAD/BCU/105/D/00 is listed at $1,850. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Curtiss-Wright / ACRA Control KAD/BCU/105/D/00 calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Curtiss-Wright / ACRA Control KAD/BCU/105/D/00 is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
