GPC® 184 board is a
powerful control Low Cost module capable of operating in
stand alone mode or as an intelligent peripheral, and/or remoted,
in a wider telecontrol or aquisition network. It is part of the
CPU 4 Serie, in BLOCK format,
as low as 100x50 mm size.
The GPC® 184 module can be secured in a plastic mount
for connection to Omega rails DIN 46277-1 and DIN
46277-3, thereby dispensing with the need of a rack and allowing
a less costly mounting direct to the electrical control panel.
Thanks to this small size, the GPC® 184 put into the
same plastic rails that contains the peripheral I/O, i.e
ZBx xxx , forms an
unique BLOCK element. The GPC® 184 can also
be mounted as a macro CPU module on a peripheral card of
the end user, in Piggy Back (stack
through) mode.
The powerfull rom based FGDOS
Romated Operative System makes easy to take advantage
of the on board resources and allows reduced development time
thanks to its support to high level languages like C, PASCAL,
etc. FGDOS also lets
the User see as RAM/ROM Disks the memory devices, making
possible to use them immediatly and easily by the high level languages
file system instructions. FGDOS can manage PCMCIA RAM
cards, LCD or fluorescent displays, a matrix keyboard and
a parallel printer through proper interfaces or well developed
device, as MCI 64, KDx x24, QTP
24P and QTP 16P
(See the Application
Note) obtaining a significant cost reduction. FGDOS
is also capable to program a FLASH memory directly on the board.
The features that characterizes the GPC® 184 is the
presence of three inipendent asyncronous serial lines, provided
of different electric interfaces that easily solve typical application
of: protocol conversion, data logher from serial devices, serial
lines concentrator or sorter and so on.
For getting a quick prototype, cards such as SPA
03 and SPA 04
on which it is possible to mount the GPC® 184 in Piggy Back mode, are used. The presence
on board of the Abaco®
I/O BUS connector, allows to drive directly I/O
cards as: ZBR xxx,
ZBT xxx ,etc. and through
ABB 03, ABB
05 it is possible to manage even all the peripheral cards
available on Abaco® BUS.

CPU card's are equipped with a back connector duly
designed for Piggy-Back mounting
on user's H/D as simple socked component.
This special connector has been studied from grifo®
in order to avoid mechanical stress between housing and card.
