Product Overview

 

 

®CompactPCI

1.01 Interfacing

For maximum communication flexibility, multiple interfaces satisfying different industrial stand-

1

ards are implemented. LAN applications can take advantage of Inova’s 10BaseT/100BaseTx (dual)

Ethernet implementation or, if high-speed system-level serial interfacing is required, the built-in

 

400/100 Mbit/s FireWire port is available. Peripherals may be connected to the standard USB or,

 

as an option, the on-board PCI bus allows support of custom I/O piggybacks conforming to

 

Inova’s open specification.

 

The Intel 21554 non-transparent PCI/PCI bridge is utilised for multiprocessing applications equipped

 

with a Master and Slave CPU in the same system.

 

1.02 Peripherals

 

The ICP-PIII supports standard PC peripherals like floppy disk, hard disk and CD ROM. Notebook

 

style hard disks may be connected directly to the base-board (2-slot) and possess their own front-

 

panel offering COM ports and PS-2 style connectors for mouse and keyboard.
