Interrupt Configuration
No hardware jumper configuration is required for interrupts. Interrupt
enables and status flags are configured or viewed via programmable registers
on the carrier board (see Section 3 for programming details). The carrier
board passes interrupt requests from the IP modules to the PCIe bus. Refer to
the IP modules for their specific configuration requirements.
CONNECTORS
Connectors of the APCe8650 carrier consist of four carrier IP module field I/O
connectors, four IP module logic connectors, four field I/O ribbon cable
connectors, a peripheral power connector, a PCIe graphics power connector
and one PCI Express bus interface connector. These interface connectors are
discussed in the following sections.
Carrier Field I/O Connectors (IP modules A through D)
Field I/O connections are made via 50 pin ribbon cable connectors A, B, C, and
D for IP modules in positions A through D. IP module assignment is marked
on the board for easy identification (see IP location drawing 4502-135 for
physical locations of the IP modules). Flat cable assemblies and termination
panels (or user defined terminations) can be quickly mated to the field I/O
connectors. Pin assignments are defined by the IP module employed since
the pins from the IP module field side correspond identically to the pin
numbers of the 50 pin connectors.
Carrier field I/O connectors A through D are TE Connectivity Low Profile 50-
pin headers (TE P/N 1-1761685-5) and they mate to ejector equipped ribbon
cable connectors (3M P/N 3425-6600).
IP Field I/O Connectors (IP modules A through D)
The field side connectors of IP modules A through D mate to AMP 173280-3
connectors, on the carrier board. IP locations are labeled on the board for
easy identification. Field and logic side connectors are keyed to avoid
incorrect assembly.
The AMP 173280-3 connectors mate to AMP 173279-3 connectors (or similar)
on the IP modules. This provides excellent connection integrity and utilizes
gold plating in the mating area. Threaded metric M2 screws and spacers
(supplied with Acromag IP modules) provide additional stability for harsh
environments (see Drawing 4502-148 for assembly details).
Pin assignments for these connectors are made by the specific IP model used
and correspond identically to the pin numbers of the front panel connectors.
IP Logic Interface Connectors (IP modules A through D)
The logic interface sides of IP modules A through D mate to AMP 173280-3
connectors, on the carrier board. IP locations are labeled on the board for
easy identification. Field and logic side connectors are keyed to avoid
incorrect assembly.
