HILTOP Compact (Custom)

A compact open-source test framework designed from the ground up to deliver maximum value for test and measurement applications with a host of features included as standard. The HILTOP is based on the popular 3U rack and Eurocard chassis enabling easy integration into 19” racks and larger test systems. Quality parts are used throughout providing a design “made to last” for industrial applications.

Our HILTOP CM4 Motherboard and High-Speed Open-VTI backplane provides modular expansion using the Eurocard form factor to provide 3 off 100 x 160mm card slots.

One of the key applications for the HILTOP is automated testing giving faster and more accurate measurements through hardware and software integration. Key features include:

• CPU-1.5GHz Broadcom Quad Core ARM Cortex (Raspberry Pi CM4)
• FPGA- Expansion Slot on the backplane
• Integrated SATA support and 1TB hard-drive
• Gigabit Ethernet port
• Integrated programmable 30V/2A Power supply
• 7″ high contrast colour touchscreen
• 3 x USB 2.0 ports and 1 x USB 3.0 port
• GPIO Expansion slots for additional hardware
• USB Barcode scanner and camera support
• High-Speed Open VTI Backplane standard supporting a number of interfaces including LVDS & USB2.0 on every card slot.
• Standard Eurocard-ready 6HP expansion ports
• 1x Isolated RS 485/422 interfaces
• 1x Isolated CAN FD interfaces
• Auto Script generation from DOORS® or Spreadsheet test
• Dual control software platform accessed either from the shop floor or remote web interface
• Data Logging Capability with SQL database integration

The Open VTI backplane standard was created out of necessity to fill a void in the marketplace for a mid-range USB 2.0 capable bus to allow easy adoption by engineers and test departments. The open standard was loosely based on the PXI backplane standard but without the complexity of the PCI bus, including features such as parallel bus between card slots, clock, trigger lines, SPI, I2C, GPIO and USB2.0. The full standard can be downloaded <a href="https://devtank.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Open-VTI_Overview.pdf">here</a>.

We enable engineers and designers to quickly add from our range of Open Test Modules (OTM) or design your own based on the Eurocard form factor. Our range of expansion modules is constantly revised as we bring new products to market to solve real world customer problems.

Choose from a range of accessories such as hard luggage case and 19” rack mount brackets.
