PXI express FMC Carrier Board (SPEXI7U)
Project description
The SPEXI7U PXIe FMC carrier card was developed in the frame of the SAMBUCA (Sensors Acquisition and Motion Control system) project. This project, associated with DIOT project, aims at designing a flexible and modular low-level control solution for mechatronics application at CERN. The PXIe carrier card contains a large FPGA to host the Real Time motion control / processing algorithm that represents the critical core of the control application.
