The requirements are obvious

The way that systems are designed for OEM applications is influenced by:

Off-the-shelf software availability

The need for a short time-to-market

The availability of experienced engineers

An abundance of third-party hardware and software products

The demand for open systems

Today’s demands on industrial PC tech- nology are far more than standard motherboards can fulfill because their designs are optimized for production cost, but not for longevity and they lack solutions for intelligent cabling, EMI shielding or optimized cooling.

CompactPCI is the answer

Industrial PCs traditionally focus on improved mechanics to overcome the limitations posed by the standard PC set-up. This changed dramatically with the invention of CompactPCI, the fully industrialized version of desktop PC technology. In the past, price played a decisive role when deciding to invest in a PC-based system. Today price still plays a very important role, but experi- ence shows us that the ultimate deci- ding factors are the availability

of off-the-shelf standard software and the low MTTR (Mean-Time to Repair) connected with CompactPCI based technology.

CompactPCI provides solutions for high density integrated systems, excel- lent EMI shielding, optimized cooling and reliable, serviceable, robust and high availability systems. Kontron inte- grates all these characteristics into a wide range of CompactPCI products with advantageous features:

High-performance PCI bus (66/133 MHz/64 bit)

Parallel card insertion from front for easy replacement and minimum MTTR

Proved 19" mechanics in 3U, 6U and mixed configurations

Rear I/O support option for internal cabling requirements and hot swap

Improved airflow by consequent vertical mounting of boards

Hot swap hardware provision on highly reliable connector

PICMG 2.16

Additionally, new switch-fabric architectures, such as the PICMG 2.16 packet switched backplane, increase system availability by eliminating single points of failure in board inter-connectivity. PICMG 2.16 is an extension of the PICMG 2.x family of specifications. PICMG 2.16 provides a standard for the implementation of a packetbased switching architecture (based on Ethernet) on top of CompactPCI.
