The EPAC 3000 is a high performance data acquisition and control computer based on Hitachi's HD64180 / Zilog Z180 processor. This high integration CMOS microprocessor features an enhanced Z80 instruction set that includes a fast multiply instruction, two 16 bit timers, a memory management unit that supports 1 MB abyte of memory and 64K bytes of I/O space, a DMA controller with memory to memory and memory to I/O transfer capability and a versatile interrupt controller that manages twelve interrupt sources. EMAC integrated this powerful processor onto a board that contains 36 digital I/O lines, 2 serial RS232 ports, an 8 bit A/D converter (13 bit optional), all CMOS construction and more with a board size of 5 1/4" by 8.0".

The EPAC 3000 was designed with the same key features (watchdog timer, machine sockets, single rail power supply with on board regulation, optically coupled digital inputs, transient protection for analog inputs and a separate analog ground) that give the EPAC series of single board computers their high degree of reliability. Reliability and Performance make the EPAC 3000 just as home on the Factory Floor as the Laboratory Bench. Future expansion is also provided for by the EPAC 3000 with the ENET network. ENET allows up to 32 EPAC single board computers to exchange information.

EMAC offers a total system solution to your application needs, with development software, peripheral boards, signal conditioning cards and more. The new Universal Expansion Interface gives the EPAC 3000 compatibility with virtually all the EPAC series accessory boards. So take the EPAC 3000 for a 30 day risk free test drive and just see what this single board computer can do for you!

FEATURES

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT: HD64180/Z180 with 6.144 MHz clock speed.
LOW POWER: All CMOS construction.
DIGITAL I/O: 8 optically coupled inputs, 8 high drive outputs, 20 programmable unbuffered lines terminated to a 50 pin I/O rack compatible header connector.
ANALOG I/O: 16 channel, 8 bit analog to digital converter, or optional 16 channel, 12 bit plus sign analog to digital converter with sample/hold.
MEMORY: Maximum system memory is 512K bytes, 128K RAM is furnished and 1K bit nonvolatile EEPROM.
COMMUNICATION: 2 RS232 serial ports with interrupt support.
TIMERS: 2, 16 bit timers with interrupt support and a watchdog timer.
POWER SUPPLY: Single Voltage supply operating from +8 to +15 Vdc. with on board regulation.
EXPANSIBILITY: 50 pin header connector for use with accessory boards.

SPECIFICATIONS

POWER REQUIRMENTS: Single Voltage supply operation from +8 Vdc to +15 Vdc (+12 Vdc recommended) with on board regulation. Maximum current draw is 150 ma., 130 ma typical.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE: 0 to 60 degrees centigrade, humidity range without condensation 0% to 90% RH.
DIGITAL I/O: 8 optically coupled inputs that require 7 to 14 ma. sink current depending on pullup Voltage selected. 8 open collector output drivers that can be pulled up to 5 Vdc, the supply, or left open. 20 programmable unbuffered I/O lines implemented using a PPI and terminated to a 50 pin I/O rack compatible header connector.
ANALOG INPUTS: 16 analog inputs (multiplexed) have a jumper selectable range select 0 to 5Vdc, 1 to 6 Vdc, and 0 to 10 Vdc. The 12 bit option provides the ranges of +1 to +6 Vdc, -10 to +10 Vdc, -5 to +5 Vdc, and -2.5 to +2.5 Vdc. Resolution is 8 bits with 12 bits plus sign (12 bits negative and 12 bits positive) optional. The conversion from analog to digital is 125 microseconds for the standard configuration and 35 microseconds for the 12 bit configuration. When switching analog channels an additional 5 microseconds is recommended. The A/D has interrupt support.
ANALOG OUTPUTS: The optional D/A converter has 4 independent channels with 8 bit resolution. D/A output ranges are jumper selectable, with available ranges of: 1 to 6 Vdc and 0 to 5 Vdc. A settling time of 1 microsecond is required for each channel.
COMMUNICATIONS: 2 serial channels with software selectable baud rates of 300 to 38400 baud are provided. Both channels are configured as standard RS232 ports one of which provides handshaking. An optional RS422/485 interface can replace one of the RS232 ports. Each serial channel has interrupt support.
TIMERS: 2 independent 16 bit reloadable timers clocked at 307.2 KHz (standard configuration) are provided. Each timer has interrupt support, with 1 timer output available externally.
MEMORY: Memory space for up to 128K of EPROM and up to 384K of RAM. Total physical memory space on board is 512K bytes. In addition to the EPROM/RAM memory is a 1K bit serial EEPROM. The EEPROM is a nonvolatile memory organized into 64, 16 bit words with 10,000 write cycles guaranteed and unlimited read cycles.
WATCHDOG TIMER: Watchdog timer when enabled, must be software accessed no less than once every second to prevent system reset.
EXTERNAL RESET: Optically coupled input pulled low (grounded) will reset the system.
