IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
It is very important for the user to consider the possible adverse
effects of power, wiring, component, sensor, or software failures
in designing any type of control or monitoring system. This is
especially important where economic property loss or human life
is involved. It is important that the user employ satisfactory
overall system design. It is agreed between the Buyer and
Acromag, that this is the Buyer's responsibility.
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The APC8640 card is a personal computer Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI) bus card and is a carrier for the
Industrial I/O Pack (IP) mezzanine board field I/O modules. The
carrier board provides a modular approach to system assembly,
since each carrier can be populated with any combination of
analog input/output, digital input/output, communication, etc. IP
modules. Thus, the user can create a board which is customized
to the application. This saves money and space - a single carrier
board populated with IP modules may replace several dedicated
function PCI bus boards. The APC8640 non-intelligent carrier
board provides impressive functionality at low cost.

KEY APC8640 FEATURES
•
PCI Specification Version 2.2 Compliant Slave Carrier: -
Provides a PCI bus interface to control and communicate
with industry standard IP modules.
•
Interface for IP Modules
– APC8640 provides an electrical
and mechanical interface for up to five industry standard IP
modules. IP Modules are available from Acromag and other
vendors in a wide variety of Input/Output configurations to
meet the needs of varied applications.
•
Plug-And-Play PCI bus Carrier
- The carrier card contains
standard PCI bus configuration memory. Upon power-up
the system auto-configuration process assigns the carrier’s
base address in memory space.
•
Plug-And-Play Interrupt Support
- The personal computer
system software will allocate one interrupt line to the carrier.
The carrier’s interrupt pending register can be used to
quickly identify IP module pending interrupts.
•
Supports Two Interrupt Channels per IP
- Up to two
interrupt requests are supported for each IP. Additional
registers are associated with each interrupt request for
control and status monitoring.
