VME and PMC I/O Products

The purpose of most embedded computers is to interface to external sensors and control external systems and actuators. To that end, Curtiss-Wright offers a wide array of I/O products to perform the critical function of interfacing to these external systems. The I/O products are offered in a variety of form-factors to suit the functional and architectural requirements of the system. Systems with high I/O counts can benefit from the family of I/O carrier cards including PMC carriers supporting all the standard host busses, and the family of IndustryPack carriers and I/O modules.
