Ultra Electronics Measurement Systems Inc : : Interface Circuits

Ultra MSI has a wide range of electrical interface options that can be adapted to any of our controls. We offer PS/2, USB native and USB directX. In addition, we offer RS232, RS422, RS485, CANbus, ARINC 429 and a variety of common, analog and other interfaces.

		Model 4303 Serial Interface Module The Model 4303 can accommodate up to 7 analog (axis) input signals plus 24 switches and transmits position data as absolute position information in an 8-bit number (-127 to +128). Versions transmitting incremental information are available.

		STX Serial Interface Circuit P/N 6816256-4 This miniature interface circuit is designed to fit inside our grip controls or other small spaces and provide a serial transmission for a thumb operated proportional joystick and multiple switches. The data can be transmitted in a variety of popular formats.

		Joystick Amplifier Circuit P/N 6812150 Normal operating voltage range can be amplified up to ±10 VDC with a ±12 to 15 VDC input. The small size of one circuit card allows installation in spaces as small as the inside of a hand grip. Other amplifier circuit cards are available.

		USB Card P/N 6825008 This USB card features USB Direct X, is low speed and comes with a driver. 2.5" x 2.5" square, this card is compatible with Microsoft Window XP and meets Human Interface Device standards. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, this interface can be utilized in a number of demanding applications. It provides 2 analog and 12 switches inputs, powered by computer USB port.
