Embedded Multi-tasking Computer Modules (BTI-ACI-4/4)

BASIC-Tiger™ Mikrocontroller in construction "A", witch supports the most features and options. This module form is the basis for another additional Tiger-module series (TCAN-Tiger™, Ethernet- u. Internet-Tiger).

BASIC-Tiger™ - highly stable control computer for industrial applications, instruments, installation controls and quality assurance tasks. BASIC-Tigers™ have an excellent price-performance ratio, fast running programs and unique flexibility. Hundreds of functions, device drivers and applications for recurring jobs are already available and shorten the development procedure significantly.

The effort for debugging alone - even for medium sized projects (often the biggest source of time loss) - is reduced to a minimum when thousands of times tried and tested modules can be used. Likewise code length and needed time are reduced, when extensive functionality can be activated with one or few BASIC lines.

Another characteristic of the BASIC-Tiger™ system in connection with the development environment is the cost-saving interface techniques of the device drivers. They allow the construction of series products with minimum hardware involved. Software functions in the device drivers often replace or minimize external circuitry or additional controller units. This lowers the number of needed components, enables the construction of smaller and more reliable devices.

For example text- and graphic LCDs. The connection of many LCD types to the BASIC-Tiger™ is done 1:1 and does not require any additional compontents except for a contrast potentiometer. Texts, pictures, graphics and even animated presentations and small movie sequences can be displayed without needing a graphic adapter or other interfaces. Presentations on LCD can be designed in impressive brilliance and expressiveness without leading to extra costs for your series product. Additional, immediate visible product improvement is the result for any applications with user interface.

Or the use of touchpanels for intuitive user inputs. No touchpanel controller is needed, as the BASIC-Tiger™ can read in and evaluate the current coordinates with help from several resistors and transistors. Costs: << 1 US$. It is a similar thing with keyboard matrixes, stepper motors, SmartMedia FLASH Cards, CAN-Bus integration ... and many more.

The BASIC-Tiger™ possesses 38 universal I/O lines already in the module, which can be extended almost without limit. The XPort system of the Tiger supports expansion up to 4096 I/Os and if needed a multitude of Tiger computers can be connected to an array of processors.

BASIC-Tiger™ Multitasking Computer are used in:

• Customer specific designs
• Series products
• Research projects
• Industrial controls
• Communication applications
• Medical technology ... etc.

Fitted for use with the BASIC-Tiger™ computer modules there are I/O expansion modules available as well as a Euro-Board system for flexible and cost-effective assembly of industrial control applications with standard components.
