During a rocket launch, every millisecond counts when transferring process data. The esd ECS-PCIe/FPGA EtherCAT interface handles around 18 kB per cycle in under 2 ms, with DPRAM and DMA keeping host CPU load low.
High computing power, limited space and extreme cold: An aerospace system demands purpose-built hardware. esd developed a custom COM-HPC Mini carrier board with multiple interfaces and integrated heating for a rugged computer.
A 4-channel CAN bus controller was the starting point of a custom development for a military company. The company was originally looking for a single-board computer with multiple interfaces for an existing VPX system.
