1 Description and operation of KIC551/KIC551RC
1.1 Purpose of KIC551/KIC551RC
Names of the products described in this User Manual: KIC551 interface module (product
designation: IMES.421459.551) and KIC551RC interface module (product designation:
IMES.467449.003).
The KIC551 interface module is a high-speed programmable switch for PCI Express and Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces and is designed to transfer packets between peripheral slots and an external
device (see subparagraph 1.4).
The KIC551 is designed so as to provide consumers with an integrated 3U CPCI Serial solution for
the use in real-time systems, manufacture control, high-speed data acquisition and data
processing. KIC551 serves as an extension to the lineup of 3U CPCI modules manufactured by
Fastwel Group.
The KIC551RC interface module with a conduction-type cooler is based on KIC551 and is used for
building powerful special purpose ultra-reliable systems.
To remove heat from the KIC551RC, there is a specially designed heat removal cassette in
accordance with the CompactPCI Serial Mesh Backplane specification, PICMG 2.20 R 1.0.
Thereafter, the modules are named either as KIC551/KIC551RC
or “the module”. In the text, where
it is necessary to indicate individual characteristics of the modules, it will be noted that we are
referring to the specific module version, and not to the module in general.
