The GPC® 188F card is
a powerful control and managing card in the 100x160mm standard
single Europa size.It relies on the powerful Industrial Abaco®
BUS and exploits the numerous intelligent and non intelligent
peripherals, available on this BUS.
The GPC® 188F is based on the powerful and notorious
CPU 80C188 Intel, therefore being code compatible with
any PC , and it has considerable hardware resources available
on board.
The 8 Lines of 13 bits high performances A/D
Converter are particulary interesting.Its modularity and the
remarkable hardware resources allow this card to be easily used
even in complex applications. Moreover this card is the right
component for all the applications that require a lot of memory,
in fact up to 2 M Bytes can be mounted on board.
The GPC® 188F use is simplified by a wide range
of software developement tools based on high level languages which,
in an efficient and friendly environment, allow to work at the
best using a standard PC.
Noteworthy among these tools the Operating Systems,
an efficient PASCAL
Romated Compiler or the powerful C
Compilers. Special care has been devoted to the difficult
operation of Debug, by programs which allow the Remote Symbolic Debugger directly
on the card.
