GCP382 Close-up

GCP382 is a portable PXI/cPCI chassis designed specifically for applications that can be deployed in places without the assurance of a reliable power source. GCP382 is developed based on GMII Platform System. It incorporates all the necessary peripherals and can be easily packed, carried and used anywhere. Its rugged construction is designed for mobile applications on a cart, under an air wing, in a truck, or on a battleship.

Inside Story

GCP382 portable chassis is designed to be powered from AC, DC or batteries with glitch less switching. The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) feature allows the system to run smoothly even if the power is off, making it a great choice for critical applications or remote sensing applications. The battery module used in GCP382 offers close to 100 Watt-hours of energy and can tolerate two times the rated discharge current without adverse effects. Ability to incorporate high power PXI cards broadens the applications GCP382 can address.

GCP382 has 8 slots for a controller and plug in cards on the left, and power supply modules and optional battery modules on the right. Quick plug/unplug of cards and modules and the support for hot swapping reduces mean time to repair to within minutes. GCP382 also incorporates a foldout keyboard, and a large 15" touch screen LCD display.

GCP382 is a powerful and versatile portable chassis that allows the system used in development be simply unplugged and deployed to the field directly, with no change in functionality or capability.
