Small Form Factor Embedded Computer Boards

104-Express boards are typically intended for use in small, space-constrained industrial control or vehicles systems. The standard size of these modules is just 3.550 × 3.775 inches (90 × 96 mm).

The name PC/104 comes from the original IBM computer known as the “PC”, and the number of pins used to connect the cards together (104). 104-Express boards, like PC/104 boards, are typically stacked on top of each other using stackable bus connectors and mounting holes at the corner of each module. This provides a much more rugged, embedded computer that can be used in harsh environments such as those found in military or industrial applications.

These rugged, self-stacking modules, allow for an expandable system without the burden of a motherboard or backplane with a fixed number of slots. Additionally, since 104-Express is basically PCI Express with a different form factor, most of the program development tools used for PCs can be used for a 104-Express system. This reduces the cost of purchasing new tools and also greatly reduces the learning curve for programmers and hardware designers.

High Performance PCI Express (PCIE) Data Acquisition And Control Cards

Choose from analog, digital, and serial I/O cards for your next application. The bandwidth of PCI Express (PCIe) is more than double that of PCI in a x1 slot and also features both hot-swap and hot-plug installation. If you don’t see what you need, ask us and we will make it for you.

Most newer motherboards are being manufactured with PCI Express (PCIe) slots. The most common PCI Express (PCIe) slot sizes are x1 and x16. All ACCES PCI Express (PCIe) cards use the x1 slot but can also be installed into larger slots. For example, you can install a PCI Express (PCIe) x1 card into an x16 slot (but it will operate at the x1 speed). The x1 slots are typically general purpose and the x16 slots are used for video or other high performance cards.

ISA Bus and Other Legacy Products

ACCES has been designing Data Acquisition and Control (DAQ) products for more than 20 years, and in that time has seen many changes. Technologies that were once dominant fade into near oblivion, and the trend continues.

This page lists all of the products they’re still proud of, but which time has, for the most part, rendered less-than-suitable for new customers. ACCES will continue to support these products for many years to come, but they can’t recommend them for new projects…

Signal Conditioning

Sensors that are used to collect the data from the environment often don’t produce signal of characteristics optimal for an analog to digital converter (ADC) to translate to digital data. Additionally, these signals can be subject to electromagnetic interference (EMI) that introduces noise, having a negative impact on the reliability of the data. To make this analog input readable for the processing unit and dependable enough to give the desired quality of data the signal has to undergo a process of signal conditioning.

Signal conditioning is one of the key components of data acquisition systems that makes inputs usable for a DAQ system. When working with different ground voltages, proper isolation of the signal line is required as signals outside of the specified range of the ADC circuit can damage the sensitive components of the measurement system. Depending on the sensor, the signal might also need to have a higher amplitude to be effectively read by the digitizer, therefore requiring to be amplified, or a lower amplitude, therefore being in need for attenuation.

USB Data Acquisition (DAQ) Products

ACCES now offers USB-based data acquisition and control in both standard packaging and embedded OEM USB/104 board only options. These USB DAQ devices are perfect for a variety of applications requiring monitoring, control and industrial serial communications. USB is by far the most popular and compatible standard data interface for direct PC connection. Add the features you need in your application in hours, not days. Choose from over 100 different models and options (including extended temperature) encompassing analog I/O, digital I/O, counter/timer, and serial I/O configurations. Experience simple and immediate connection to any PC or embedded system with a USB port.

Our USB OEM product line features two different size form factors – USB/104 and USB/PICO. The USB/104 product line PCB size measures just 90mm x 96mm and the mounting holes match the PC/104 form factor for quick and easy installation in both new and existing PC/104-based systems. Our USB/PICO line was created for our customers which demand an even smaller footprint and certain specific I/O configurations. The size of these modules is exactly half that of PC/104 (72mm x 60mm) and can be mounted virtually anywhere, including Pico-ITXe next generation embedded CPUs. Both USB/104 and USB/PICO are stackable or unstackable, making them one of the most versatile I/O form factors currently available.

Introduction to Vibration Control Curve in Industrial Plants

The Vibration Control (VC) curve is a vital tool used in the analysis of vibration-sensitive instruments, particularly in industrial settings. It represents the vibration response of instruments or machinery across different frequencies. By plotting vibration amplitude against frequency, engineers and researchers can understand how different components within a system respond to varying frequencies of vibration. This information is critical for ensuring the proper functioning and longevity of sensitive equipment.

In summary, the VC curve and the broader practice of monitoring industrial plant vibrations are indispensable for maintaining efficient, safe, and reliable operations. Through continuous monitoring and analysis, industries can prevent disruptions, enhance productivity, save costs, and ensure the safety of both equipment and personnel.
