Diamond Systems Neptune User Manual

NEPTUNE  
HIGHLY INTEGRATED EMBEDDED SBC WITH USERSELECTABLE ETX CPU PROCESSOR CORE  
Highest level of integration in a single board computer:  
Replaces 6 individual boards  
ETX CPU core provides flexibility in price/performance, reduces  
cost and protects against obsolescence  
Choice of AMD LX800 up to Intel Core 2 Duo processors with  
512MB to 2GB system memory  
Bestinclass analog data acquisition with autocalibration and  
software support  
5V, 728V DC/DC power supply for easier system integration  
EPIC format with PC/104Plus expansion provides compact size  
with flexibility  
DESCRIPTION  
Neptune introduces a new concept in small form factor  
Integrates the functions of 6 boards into 1!  
embedded SBCs. The CPU core consists of an ETX module  
which mounts on the bottom side of the baseboard for  
improved thermal management. This technique provides  
more room on the top for I/O features. The result is an  
efficient, costeffective, reliable and compact embedded  
SBC rich in I/O and other user benefits. Neptune is the  
first 6in1 embedded SBC integrating processor, system  
I/O, data acquisition and even a DC/DC power supply  
onto a single board in the compact EPIC format.

Data Acquisition  
Optoisolated Digital I/O  
Multiprotocol Serial Ports  
Gigabit Ethernet  
DC/DC Power Supply  
You can select from a wide range of ETX CPU modules  
from a worldclass supplier to tailor Neptune’s price and  
performance to you application and budget. A PC/104‐  
Plus expansion connector enables you to add still more  
I/O or features if needed, and the built in 5V or 728V  
input DC/DC power supply provides flexibility in  
integrating the SBC with your system power supply.  
These features give Neptune an unsurpassed level of  
value and flexibility in a small form factor embedded SBC.  
BENEFITS OF 6in1 INTEGRATION  
LESS SPACE: Smaller and thinner than a stack of PC/104 boards  
LOWER COST: An integrated solution eliminates extra PCBs and  
connectors to lower the unit cost  
DATA ACQUISITION  
Neptune includes Diamond Systems’ topoftheline data  
acquisition circuitry with the industry’s widest set of I/O  
features:  
HIGHER RELIABILITY: Less interconnects and components,  
resulting in higher reliability  
MORE RUGGED: The flatter profile and reduction in connectors  
32 analog inputs, 16bit A/D, 250KHz sample rate  
4 analog outputs, 12bit D/A  
24 digital I/O  
8 optoisolated digital inputs  
8 optoisolated digital outputs  
2 counter/timers for A/D sample rate control  
Universal Driver software support for C programming  
under Windows and Linux  
makes Neptune far more rugged in mobile applications  
SINGLE VENDOR: Purchasing and stocking are easier with a  
single board  
SAVES TIME: Assembly effort is dramatically reduced,  
shortening your total system integration time  
OPERATING SYSTEM SUPPORT  
ACCESSORIES  
Neptune supports the following operating systems:  
Windows XP/XPe, Windows CE, Linux  
Panel I/O Board  
The panel I/O board plugs onto the front row of pin  
headers to provide cablefree access to the standard  
system I/O: serial ports, USB, Ethernet, PS/2, VGA and  
power input. The panel I/O board is designed to work  
with the Triton enclosure as a complete enclosure  
system, or in a standalone configuration.  
Optional upon request: VxWorks, QNX
