ACEX4041 COM Express Type 10
AcroPack Carrier Board
- 7 -
to meet the needs of varied applications. The I/O is easily accessed through
the I/O panel area via female SCSI-3 68 pin Champ 0.8mm connectors.
PCI Express
Version 2.1 Compliant Carrier: -
Includes a PCIe switch to allow
four PCIe devices (AcroPack or mini-PCIe) to share a single slot on the PC
motherboard. (Mini-PCIe use requires custom factory configurations) default
factory configuration is AcroPack.
Board Identification
–
A unique carrier and site number can be set for each
AcroPack site by a DIP switch. This feature provides the capability to
distinguish a particular AcroPack module from others when multiple instances
of the same module are used in a system.
JTAG Programming Header
–
A standard 14-pin Xilinx JTAG programming
header is provided for programming and debugging the FPGA on some
AcroPack modules. The JTAG ports of the two AcroPack modules are daisy-
chained.
Individually Fused Power
- Fused +1.5V, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, and -12V DC
power is provided. A Resettable PTC fuse is present on each supply line
serving each AcroPack module except for the +3.3V Fuse. The +3.3V Fuse is A
Fast-Acting Surface Mount Fuse (SMF) and is a small (1206 size) thin-film
device. you must return the board to Acromag to replace the +3.3V fuse.
Battery less
–
The ACEX4041 Uses a Super Capacitor to maintain the
RTC/CMOS voltages for several days without any power.
Battery Backup Mode
–
The ACEX4041 can be used with an addition power
source such as a 10-36Volt DC Battery. When using the standard ATX power
supply and Battery Backup Mode and there is a power loss, the DC Battery
(10-36Vdc) will automatically be switched into action.
SIGNAL INTERFACE PRODUCTS
This AcroPack carrier board will mate directly to most industry standard mini-
PCIe and AcroPack modules. Acromag provides the following interface
products (all connections to field signals are made through the carrier board
which passes them to the individual AcroPack modules):
Cable
Model 5028-420 Round cable, shielded, 34 twisted pairs, male SCSI-3
connector to 68 pin CHAMP 0.8mm, 2 meters long.
Termination Panel
Model 5025-288 DIN-rail mountable panel provides 68 screw terminals for
universal field I/O termination, SCSI-3 connector.
