BaseNode 320

A platform for rapid prototyping

The BaseNode 320 is a general purpose development controller unit for distributed control applications. It is designed for fast and flexible prototyping of automotive applications. It consists of a general purpose controller board, based on the Siemens 80C167CS micro controller and an I/O board. A generic and a customisable I/O board and associated housing is currently available. Modifications can be offered on request. The BaseNode comes with an extensive C-Library to interface the I/O board. Your application program can be downloaded via RS232 with the Windows tool ViaPC.
