This unit
The Abaco Systems V5B is a single-slot, 6U VMEbus Embedded PC engineered for computing in demanding embedded applications. It combines IBM PC/AT compatibility with a local PCI bus architecture to deliver real-world performance within a VMEbus environment.
Technical Specifications
Processor & Memory- Intel Pentium MMX or AMD K6-2 processors up to 400 MHz
- 256 KB Level 2 Cache
- Configurable RAM up to 128 MB Graphics & Video
- SVGA GUI Accelerated PCI Bus Video Controller
- 2 MB High Speed Video DRAM Storage Interfaces
- Fast SCSI-2 Interface
- Enhanced IDE Hard Disk Interface Networking
- 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Expansion & Connectivity
- PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) Expansion Interface
- Optional ISA Expansion
- Two RS-232 serial ports
- One parallel port VMEbus Interface
- VME64 compliant via Universe II VMEbus Interface
- VMEbus Block Mode Transfer capability
- VMEbus Hardware Byte Swapping support
Key Features The V5B leverages a dedicated local PCI bus to minimize latency and maximize throughput in compute-intensive applications. VME64 compliance via the Universe II controller enables high-bandwidth block mode transfers across the backplane. Hardware byte swapping eliminates software overhead for endian conversion in multi-processor VMEbus systems.
Typical Applications The V5B suits real-time data acquisition, embedded signal processing, industrial automation, and military/aerospace systems where VMEbus integration and x86 compatibility are required.
Compatibility & Integration Full IBM PC/AT compatibility ensures broad operating system and application software support. The successor V5C provides form, fit, and function compatibility - existing V5B applications, transition modules, disk drives, and PMC boards transfer directly to V5C systems without modification.
Abaco Systems / SBS V5B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Abaco Systems / SBS V5B. 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 Abaco Systems / SBS V5B 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.
