HILTOP Maxi

Our largest 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 in to 19” racks and larger test systems. Quality parts are used throughout providing a design “made to last” for industrial applications.Our HILTOP CM3 Motherboard and High Speed Open-VTI backplane provides modular expansion using the Eurocard form factor to provide 6 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-1.2GHz Broadcom Quad Core ARM Cortex
• FPGA- Lattice ICE40HX8K
• Integrated SATA support and 1TB hard-drive
• Gigabit Ethernet port
• Integrated programmable 30V/2A Power supply
• 7″ high contrast colour touch screen
• 4 x USB2.0 ports (1 internal)
• 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
• 2x Isolated RS 485/422 interfaces
• 2x Isolated CAD FD interfaces
• Auto Script generation from document test specifications
• 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 market place for a mid range USB2.0 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 download here.

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.
