Speedgoat I/O modules allow you to connect your target machine with your hardware under test. Based on your project specific requirements Speedgoat provides fixed-functionality as well as multi-function and configurable I/O, protocol, and other algorithmic functionality.

Multi-functional FPGA-based I/O modules are typically used to implement special I/O (PWM, Capture, Quadrature Decoding, ...) and protocol functionality (SPI, SSI, I2C, EnDat 2.2, ...) and to implement control loop algorithms running at highest cycle-rate.

It is one of Speedgoat’s key competencies to help you select the right set of I/O modules for your specific requirements by making sure that:

Ø         they have the right characteristics for your application

Ø         the selected modules lead to the smallest possible latency

Ø         the Speedgoat xPC Target drivers access the I/O modules in its most efficient and flexible way

Ø         the I/O connectivity is covered by the smallest possible amount of I/O modules

Ø         they include the right transceivers for signal connection

Unless otherwise mentioned all I/O modules are delivered with a prewired terminal board, a cable, xPC Target drivers, and Simulink test models.

Most Speedgoat I/O modules are in the PMC form factor and can be used in all Speedgoat real-time target machines with the exception of the Classic real-time target machine supporting I/O modules in the PC/104 form factor.
