MEZZANINE MODULES AND BUS BOARDS 

Industry Pack I/O 

Industry Pack (IP) Modules 

modules plug into connectors 

on carrier boards for VME, 

CompactPCI ® , PCI, and other 

computer buses. They enable 

quick and easy development 

of low cost, custom I/O 

boards. 

Acromag offers more than 

100 IP modules and carrier 

cards to meet your I/O needs. 

PMC I/O 

Modules 

PMC modules plug into 

sockets on VMEbus or 

CompactPCI processor boards 

or carrier cards. They provide 

a secure and easy method for 

adding I/O capabilities to a 

system. 

Acromag PMC modules 

comply with PCI local bus 

specs for compatibility with 

hundreds of vendors offering 

CPU, DSP, and carrier boards. 

PCI I/O Boards 

Acromag’s APC series of halflength 

PCI boards plug directly 

into a standard desktop or 

ruggedized computer crates. 

Each board has a fixed I/O 

function, or mix of functions. 

This offers a more economical 

solution for applications that 

do not require the flexibility 

or high channel density made 

possible with mezzanine 

modules and carrier cards. 

4 CompactPCI I/O 

The AcPC series features 

3U boards that plug into a 

CompactPCI (cPCI) card cage. 

Each board has a dedicated 

function, or set of functions. 

This offers a cost-effective I/O 

10 

www.acromag.com/industrypack solution for applications with 

modest I/O requirements that 

do not need to preserve the 

availability of backplane card 

slots.

Carrier Cards 

Mezzanine carrier cards hold 

up to five Industry Pack or up 

to two PMC modules. Select 

from carriers for VME, PCI, 

and CompactPCI bus systems. 

A variety of models offer front 

or rear I/O connections and 

standard or extended temperature 

ratings. Conductioncooling 

is also available. 

FPGA Modules 

User-configurable FPGA I/O 

modules in PMC and Industry 

Pack formats offer the ability 

to create custom I/O boards 

by downloading your own 

instruction sets into the FPGA. 

Use your application program 

to control on-board analog or 

digital I/O for hardware simulation, 

in-circuit diagnostics, 

protocol conversion and more.

Acromag carrier 

cards provide an 

easy-to-use method 

for interfacing I/O on 

mezzanine modules 

when slots are not 

available on SBCs. 

MEZZANINE CARRIER CARDS 

Mezzanine modules are a very effective 

method for interfacing I/O signals to an 

embedded computer system. However, 

slots may not always be available on the 

processor board. In this case, a carrier 

board with slots for up to five Industry 

Pack or two PMC modules is an ideal 

solution. 

Choose from a variety of configurations 

with front or rear I/O access. Boards with 

multiple mezzanine slots allow mixing of 

functions to create custom I/O cards with 

extremely high channel density. Thirdparty 

IP and PMC modules are supported 

offering virtually unlimited possibilities. 

Acromag carrier cards are non-intelligent 

slave boards that act simply as an adapter 

to route I/O signals to and from the 

bus. Some carrier cards offer support for 

interrupts. Carriers are available for VME, 

PCI, and CompactPCI bus systems. 

To simplify deployment, Acromag provides 

a full line of transition modules, cables 

and termination panels. Software support 

libraries are also available for faster setup.

Acromag termination 

products simplify the 

connection of field 

signal cabling to save 

you time and effort. 

HARDWARE ACCESSORIES 

Termination and 

cabling 

Acromag provides a 

broad selection of hardware 

accessories to simplify 

the use of our I/O 

boards. This collection 

of termination panels, 

cables, and adapters 

facilitate field wiring 

and cable connections 

between boards within 

the card cage. 

Termination panels provide 

screw terminals for 

easy field signal wiring. A 

cable connector provides 

a clean interface to the 

I/O board or mezzanine 

module. Many termination 

panels have a 

compact footprint and 

mount neatly on a DIN 

rail strip. Other panels are 

designed for mounting 

directly onto a standard 

19-inch rack. 

Transition modules provide 

a solution for controlling 

the location of 

your cabling within the 

card cage. These adapters 

repeat field I/O connections 

on Acromag’s VME, 

VME64, and cPCI carrier 

boards for front or rear 

exit from the card cage. 

Acromag also provides a 

large selection of signal 

cables to complete the 

connection of the field 

wiring on the termination 

panel to the I/O board.
