eLAB eLAB - system


The ´eLAB´ system is module based. The modules are classified into active and passive modules.

Active modules are autonomously bootable and contain a (C)PLD, FPGA or a microcontroller as well as a power supply.
Passive modules
carry peripherals e.g. displays, switches, relays, keyboard connections, integrated circuits, prototype boards etc.

Module size is 60.71 x 60,71mm (2.390" x 2.390"). Distance between mounting holes for 3mm screws is 50.80 x 50,80mm (2" x 2"). The modules are stackable and inline cascadable, within a 2,54mm (.100") raster.
Modules are connected via flat cables. Each module possesses at least one10-pin heaeder (2x5 pins, 2,54mm / .100" centers, DIN41651). A ´eLAB´ link includes 8 data signals, ground and power-supply.

A privileged position within active modules takes the eLABbase-module. Additionally to standard features it contains a parallel interface to the PC, an FPGA with four full programmable ´eLAB´ ports (4 x 8 bits and power-supply), a CPU with serial RS-232 interface and a 16x2 LC display (optional). ´eLABbase´ consists of the all programmable dlk51 development platform, the eLAB2dlk51-adapter attached to it (with optional LC display) and a housing (optional). The size of the module with housing is 178x114x32mm (LxWxH). Programming of active eLAB modules is done via ´eLABbase´.
