Market & Products

Ma.Vi. has always supported its clients, for whom it has developed over time numerous control systems for specialised industrial applications. The acquired Hi-Tech knowledge enables Ma.Vi. clients to quickly find the best off-the-shelf solution, with low investment and fast lead times, especially in providing advanced revamping procedures.

Starting from an extensive and in-depth analysis of each product, a wide range of solutions has been designed and built — some with very tight response times and physical dimensions, others dedicated to the interconnection of radio equipment or to the measurement of extreme temperatures.

Control and power systems

Control & Power

Control and power systems

Compact two-board systems with a 12 kW H-bridge and EtherCAT communication.

Details

Compact two-board systems integrating a high-power-density 12 kW H-bridge with a mixed-signal carrier board. Communication is handled via the EtherCAT protocol, and a piggyback module with a Zynq processor manages real-time control. The physical separation between the power section and the control section ensures optimal isolation, reduced footprint, and ease of field maintenance.

VMEbus boards for high-performance DSP processing

DSP & VME bus

VMEbus boards for high-performance DSP processing

VME bus designs for high-compute signal processing with dual FPGA and DSP.

Details

VME bus designs for signal processing applications requiring high computational power. The dual Cyclone FPGA allows division of functions for signal management and bus communication, alongside a dedicated DSP processor for intensive numerical algorithms. The mechanical front panel is custom-made to ensure full accessibility to field connections.

EtherCAT module family for distributed I/O

Distributed I/O

EtherCAT module family for distributed I/O

Complete range of EtherCAT modules for distributed I/O with deterministic synchronisation.

Details

A complete range of modules for distributed I/O based on the EtherCAT protocol: analogue inputs, analogue outputs, encoder reading and digital I/O. Each module is designed to integrate natively into existing control systems, ensuring deterministic synchronisation and sub-millisecond latency for real-time applications.

Aluminium or steel enclosures with custom silkscreen

Packaging

Aluminium or steel enclosures with custom silkscreen

Folded enclosures with customisable silkscreen for applications requiring clear visual identification.

Details

Enclosures with customisable silkscreen, designed for applications requiring structural lightness and clear visual identification. The folded manufacturing process ensures dimensional precision and repeatability, with the option to apply logos, functional labels and markings according to client specifications.

Enclosures with custom labelling

Packaging

Enclosures with custom labelling

Quality-finish enclosures with full customisation of labels and silkscreen.

Details

Quality-finish enclosures with full customisation of labels and silkscreen. Designed for installations where the visual identity of the final product is an integral part of the project, they offer a robust and refined housing for custom-developed electronics.

Mixed signal board with fibre-optic communication

Mixed Signals

Mixed signal board with fibre-optic communication

Analogue-digital signal boards with high-speed fibre-optic communication.

Details

Design of analogue-digital signal boards for industrial environments with high electromagnetic interference, featuring high-speed communication via fibre optics. The piggyback module integrates a MicroZed SoM and a Cyclone FPGA, where programmable logic manages critical data paths in real time while the ARM processor supervises communication and control functions.

PCI mezzanine card with dual fibre optics

PCI Modules

PCI mezzanine card with dual fibre optics

PCI mezzanine module with dual fibre-optic channel and intrinsic galvanic isolation.

Details

Mezzanine card module with PCI bus and dual fibre-optic channel, providing high-speed communications with intrinsic galvanic isolation. The mezzanine form factor allows direct integration on compatible carrier boards, maintaining a reduced footprint and simplifying cabling in embedded and industrial systems.

Modular measurement, control and communication system

Modular Systems

Modular measurement, control and communication system

Expandable modular system with central CPU, analogue acquisition and expansion boards.

Details

An expandable modular system composed of a central CPU with serial, Ethernet and USB connectivity, paired with a drive board featuring analogue current and voltage acquisition, digital I/O, and additional serial and digital I/O expansion boards. The modular architecture allows the system to be configured around actual application requirements and expanded over time without redesigning the entire platform.

DIN rail enclosures with passive cooling

Packaging

DIN rail enclosures with passive cooling

Omega DIN rail enclosures with natural convection cooling and no moving parts.

Details

Steel or brushed aluminium enclosures designed for mounting on Omega DIN rails. Internal heat sinks and calibrated ventilation openings for natural convection cooling are available. The absence of moving parts maximises reliability in continuous operation, making them suitable for electrical panels and industrial environments where maintenance must be minimised.
