The Acromag QMC510 is a compact, high-performance VITA 93 serial communication module. Firstly, featuring eight independently programmable serial ports. Enabling seamless integration with a wide range of industrial, defence, and embedded systems. In addition, support for RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 protocols. The QMC510 delivers reliable and flexible asynchronous communication in applications where performance, space, and configurability are essential.
Designed to plug into a QMC-compliant carrier card. The QMC510 uses a PCIe bus interface to send and receive data between connected I/O and the host system. Each port is fully software-configurable. Therefore, enabling custom settings for baud rate (up to 20Mbps), character size, stop bits, and parity. In addition, the 256-byte transmit and receive FIFO buffers with programmable trigger levels reduce CPU load. Therefore, boost system performance in high volume applications.
Advanced features include a 16550-compatible register set, individually controlled interrupt generation for transmit, receive, and flow control. In addition, a general-purpose 16-bit timer/counter with a 125MHz internal clock. Ideal for event timing, signal generation, and timeout monitoring.
Built on the VITA 93 small form factor (SFF) standard. The QMC510 is compact (just 26 x 78.25mm), rugged, and suitable for SWaP-C constrained environments. With extended temperature operation and conduction-cooled support. Therefore, this module thrives in harsh environments such as defence vehicles, industrial systems, and aerospace platforms. Integration with Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) ensures efficient system monitoring and management via EEPROM-accessible data.
