AcroPack Series APCe7012E-LF 

PCI Express Carrier Board 

- 9 - 

Carrier Fuses 

CAUTION: Acromag has used pins labeled as reserved in the Mini-PCIe specification for additional power 

connections. If you are installing a Mini-PCIe card from another manufacturer remove fuses F1, F2 and F3. 

Other fuse present on the board i1.5V fuse F6.  Also present on the 

board is +3.3V fuse F4. These fuses are not user replaceable.  Return the 

carrier board to Acromag to replace these fuses.  Both Mini-PCIe cards from 

other manufacturers and the AcroPack modules can use +1.5V and +3.3V 

power. 

Fuse not present on the board 3.3V Aux Fuses F5.  Some standard 

Mini PCIe cards may r3.3V Aux to power the module.  For a site using 

such a module the +3.3V fuse will need to be remove and the +3.3 Aux fuse 

will need to be installed. Return the carrier board to Acromag to remove and 

install these fuses. 

Isolation Considerations 

WARNING:

 This AcroPack carrier is designed to provide isolation between the 

AcroPack Field I/O signals and the host.  The AcroPack module must also be 

an isolated AcroPack module to maintain the isolation between the logic and 

field I/O signals.  Unless isolation is provided on the AcroPack module itself, 

the field I/O connections are not isolated from the PCIe bus. 

Isolated Power 

The use of an optional isolated DC/DC Converter is required for use with a few 

of Acromag’s isolated AcroPack modules.  See Figure 1 for carrier board 

location allocated for the isolated DC/DC converter. 

The power supplies of one AcroPack site must be isolated from the power 

supplies of other AcroPack sites.  The separate isolated DC/DC converter 

make this possible.  The DC/DC converted should only be populated on the 

carrier for an AcroPack needing the isolated power.  Each isolated AcroPack 

module will list the requirement of the external DC/DC converter if needed. 

The isolated DC/DC converter provide dual +12V and -12V power to the 

AcroPack module on field I/O pins 49 and 50 as listed in the Table below.

Note 1: 

AcroPack carriers without provisions for the isolated power supplies 

can provide external power from the field power to the AcroPack module on 

pins 48, 49 and 50. 

CARRIER ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT 

Following are the instructions for setting the slot address of the carrier. By 

assigning a unique address to each carrier, system software can distinguish 

this carrier from other similarly configured carriers installed in a system. 

Figure 2 below shows the location of switch SW1. Set the switch state as
