1.1
Description
The PCD-8006 is add-on PCI Express card intended especially for laboratory and industrial
automation and measuring systems.
The PCD-8006 card provides especially these features:
• six 8-bit bidirectional digital ports, software configurable as input or output
• IRQ logic with interrupt sources derived from rising or falling edge of each digital port
signal (i.e. 96 individually programmable interrupt sources) and internal timer
The PCD-8006 card is available in two versions:
PCD-8006
standard format card
PCD-8006/LP
low-profile format card
In the following text, unless otherwise stated, the designation PCD-8006 applies to both
versions of card.
1.2
General instructions for use
The PCD-8006 card is suitable for installation in either office or industrial computers that are
fitted with the PCI Express bus (Gen 1 compatible).
Cable types and their maximum length are described in paragraph 2.3 General data.
Caution:
The cards are designed for DAQ&C applications and may be used only according to the
manufacturer's recommendations and precautions given in this manual and other general
standards and terms and may be used only such a way, that its failure caused by any reason
will not be dangerous to any person or property.
1.3
Note on the contents of the manual
This manual contains all information related to card features, I/O connectors etc., but does
not include a description of installing and using drivers.
For information about drivers and programming check the dedicated documentation.
1.4
New firmware versions and customer´s firmware
The PCD-8006 card is based on a FPGA unified core providing implementation of PCI
Express bus and all peripheral circuitry, e.g. solution that gives maximum control and
supervision over full functionality. High concentration of control algorithms within FPGA
allows to add or modify functions without redesign the board (e.g. firmware with added
special custom features or a build completely new custom firmware).
A simple software utility for user-friendly firmware upgrade is available.
