A versatile alarm card from Pixus Technologies, provides fan and voltage monitoring and control for a variety of enclosures. It can be used in various OpenVPX, VME/VME64x, CompactPCI, cPCI Serial and other open standard architecture chassis platforms.
The Pixus micro alarm card provides the system with basic monitoring and control functions including voltage levels, power supply health, temperature and fan monitoring/control. The board monitors the four common power rails in Eurocard-based systems of 5.0, 3.3, +12 and -12V. It also monitors and controls up to four fans and monitors two temperature sensors. Other features of the alarm card are a local bi-colour LED and header for remote LEDs, an alarm cancel push button and a USB interface.
