This unit
The Acromag PMC-LX40 is a user-configurable Virtex-4 FPGA module in PMC form factor delivering flexible custom signal processing and real-time data acquisition for demanding applications. Built on the Xilinx Virtex-4 XC4VLX40 with 41,472 logic cells, 64 DSP slices, and 96 x 18Kbit block RAMs, the module integrates 256K x 36-bit dual-ported SRAM and 32Mb x 32-bit DDR DRAM for high-speed buffering. The PLX PCI 9656 controller provides 64-bit 66 MHz bus mastering with dual-channel DMA, full compliance with PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2, and 5V/3.3V signaling.

Acromag PMC-LX40 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Acromag PMC-LX40. 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 Acromag PMC-LX40 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.
