At the heart of every system is the single board computer. Elma sells, supports and integrates the latest in Intel and Freescale based single board computers from industry leading partners including Artesyn Embedded COmputing, Concurrent Technologies, GE-IP and Interface Concept, as well as a few other specialized boards. When integrated as one of our popular AppliPaks, the SBC becomes part of a tech refresh solution which includes operating system and driver integration, plus mezzanine IO or storage to form a bundled assembly sold and supported by Elma.

Elma Electronic offers a comprehensive range of AdvancedTCA backplanes - Mesh, Dual Star (5U), and 7U Pluggable Dual Star. Versions for both 19" rackmount and 23" ETSI racks are available. All Elma Electronic ATCA backplanes are compliant to the PICMG 3.0 Rev. 1.0 specifications

AdvancedTCA, the PICMG 3.0 family, is a new series of PICMG specifications, targeted to requirements for the next generation of carrier grade communications equipment. This series of specifications incorporates the latest trends in high speed interconnect technologies, next generation processors and improved reliablility, manageability and serviceability.

Packaging solutions engineered to meet the requirement with designs optimized for: Industrial, Economic, Elegant, Universal, and Rugged Deployed use. Each enclosure Type is based on Elma's modular design methodology providing countless combinations of: card slot count, backplane architecture, power, cooling, height and depth at reduced cost, leadtime, and program risk. Standards from 1U through 14U to house: VME, VPX, VXS, CPCI, ATCA, MicroTCA and Mother Board architectures.

The Type 39 E-Frame test platform supports 6U or 3U VPX based system development. With a rugged aluminum construction, the versatile Type 39E open concept chassis design allows easy access for test and system architecture development for up to 12 slots. VPX development platforms let system developers and system integrators power up one or more VPX boards and interconnect their fabric connections as they would in the target application. Signals can be passed from one slot to the next with high speed cables, or signals can be introduced or accessed through the J1 fabric connector using specific VPX connector compatible cables. Each slot can be configured independently for power requirements. The wider slot pitch allows the user to insert boards compatible with VITA 48.5 (air flow-through), as well as easier access to components on the boards.

The Type 39 E-Frame (Short), test platform supports 3U, VPX development. With a rugged aluminum construction, the versatile Type 39 E-frame is 9U overall to hold 3U cards. Available in both compact (49HP) and full (84HP) widths for mounting 3-15 slots at 1" pitch. Front accessible test points and monitoring LEDs for; +3.3V, +-5V, +-12V, +- 24V, and +- 48VDC. The Type 39 E-Frame features high performance 150cfm, fans under the card cage. The fans are speed controlled with fan fail indication. A system monitor with remote monitoring via Ethernet capability is optional. The black powder coated finish of the Type 39 E-Frame enhances aesthetics and provides scratch-resistance. Other features include a Rear AC PEM (Power Entry Module) with fuses, GND stud, front located ESD jacks. The unit also offers full RTM (rear transition module) support.
