This unit
The Curtiss-Wright VPX6-1957-A01A1650 is a 6U VPX single board computer built on the Intel Core i7-3612QE quad-core processor, delivering 2.1 GHz per core with 6 MB L3 cache and Intel AVX support. Engineered for aerospace and defense embedded systems, this SBC operates in air-cooled, conduction-cooled, and Air Flow Through configurations. The platform integrates 8 GB or 16 GB DDR3 SDRAM with ECC protection, 32 GB NAND flash storage using SLC technology rated for 20-year data retention at +85°C, and Intel HD Graphics 4000 capable of driving three independent displays. Connectivity spans quad 1 GbE ports, dual 10 GbE backplane links, 16 lanes of PCIe Gen2 configurable as 4×4, 2×8, or 1×16, four SRIO Gen2 ports, two VITA 42 XMC mezzanine sites, five serial channels, and four SATA 2.0 interfaces. Supports Windows WES7, Linux, and VxWorks operating systems.

Curtiss-Wright VPX6-1957-A01A1650 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Curtiss-Wright VPX6-1957-A01A1650. 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 VPX6-1957-A01A1650 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 VPX6-1957-A01A1650 price
