Curtiss-Wright Controls Electronic Systems Introduces New Rugged Power and Control Module
(firmenpresse) - LITTLETON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/06/11 -- , a business group of Curtiss-Wright Controls and a leading system integrator of rugged deployed integrated electronics for the aerospace, defense and industrial markets, has announced a new rugged Power and Control Module (PCM) board that provides high level control and bridging to a system host via Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), USB, RS-232 and CANbus. This rugged intelligent system monitor board's onboard software and logic can easily be programmed to autonomously manage a computing enclosure or platform. The PCM can also serve as a PMBus chassis management system to control fan controller boards (FCBs) and intelligent power supplies. This richly featured module speeds and simplifies the integration of system monitor software and hardware communications into rugged, embedded electronics systems. Available for both conduction-cooled and air-cooled applications, these products are available for integration into Curtiss-Wright Controls chassis level products and solutions.
"Our new power and control module helps ensure the optimal performance, reliability and survivability of rugged deployed military subsystems," said David Dietz, vice president and general manager of Curtiss-Wright Controls Electronic Systems group.
The PCM is designed to monitor and control numerous chassis-level elements, including power supplies, fans, displays, front panel controls and indicators. It can also be used to interactively enable/disable chassis payload power systems, direct external/internal connected devices, and issue controlled system resets with the communication or switch interfaces.
The PCM can manage a wide array of inputs and bridging functions, including up to:
16 power supplies
16 independent voltages
16 temperature sensors
16 fans
1 humidity sensor
16 general purpose inputs
16 reset controls
8 general purpose outputs
3 PWM outputs
1 real time clock
20 status indicators
4 control switches
Measuring 3.050" (77.47 mm) wide/1.5" (38.1 mm) high/6.35" (161.25 mm) deep, this compact module is designed to perform over the full military operating temperature range, -40 degrees C to 85 degrees C, as well as meet demanding shock, vibration, humidity and other harsh military environment conditions.
PCM Performance Features Include:
Rugged extended temperature power & control module (-40 degrees C to 85 degrees C) for air-cooled and conduction-cooled applications
Programmable solutions for power supplies, thermal sensors, fans, humidity sensors and general purpose I/O
User and administrative levels of configuration parameters

Wide operating range, -40 º C - +85 º C
Wide input voltage range, 10VDC - 36VDC per MIL-STD-704E, MIL-STD-1275D; input voltage not isolated from logic ground
Management of up to (4) C-W fan controller boards
Designed to meet MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-461F and MIL-STD-704E when incorporated into a chassis enclosure which meets these requirements
Battleshort override
External I/O over current protection
