Pentium CPU Board
General Description
Every AtlasPC control contains one CPU board: either the Pentium CPU board or
the SmartCore board. The CPU board runs the application program automatically
upon boot-up. The Pentium CPU board runs a real-time operating system.
Operating system functions are not re-documented in this manual. Please refer
to the appropriate software manual if necessary.
A solid state hard-drive contains the operating system, Real Time kernel, Control
Application, and appropriate utilities. The CPU board supports a standard
PC/104 interface to read and write to the I/O boards.
When power is applied to the AtlasPC control system, the Pentium CPU board
will perform a Power On Self-Test (POST), load the operating system, and then
run the application program. The application will initialize each AtlasPC hardware
module and begin gathering I/O data. Upon successful initialization, a red LED
on each hardware module will be turned off.
Do not connect any non-isolated serial port device into the COM1 or
COM2 CPU serial ports! Isolation is required! A system ground fault
may be created, causing system shutdown and/or permanent
damage to the Control System.
A 9-pin D-sub filter pin connector must be installed at the serial port
prior to connection with the CPU.
When provided, the NT operating system on the hard drive is an
embedded version of Windows NT that is designed for use with a
real-time system only. No other applications are permitted.
Hardware Specifications
The Pentium CPU conforms to the Ampro/Motorola EBX v1.1 mechanical format
and contains both PC/104 and PC/104+ bus connectors for interfacing with other
Woodward and PC/104 compatible modules.
