NewsMay 19, 2024
Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, now offers a pluggable Tier 3 SOSA aligned chassis management module for OpenVPX.
The SHM200 chassis manager for OpenVPX -- compliant to VITA 46.11 for system management -- comes in 3U and 6U sizes and in VITA 48.1 format for air-cooled systems and VITA 48.2 format for conduction-cooled systems. The Tier 3 chassis manager can plug into a standard 3U VPX backplane slot in the P0 connector position.
There are also versions for more I/O that use the P1 or P1/P2 connectors. The standard panel interface has RS-232, RJ-45 or SFP, USB, and LEDs. With monitoring of at least 6 temperature sensors and 10 fans, the SHM200 has custom options available. There is fan PWM/Tach control, along with 16 digital inputs and outputs and a web interface.
Pixus offers OpenVPX backplanes, chassis platforms, and specialty products. The company also provides a mezzanine-based Tier 3 SOSA Aligned chassis manager that does not consume a slot.
