System Controller Slot
The System Controller slot is Slot 1of the chassis and is a 4-Link configuration system slot as defined in
CompactPCI Express and PXI Express Specification.
The backplane connects the system slot using three times PCIe X4 to the peripheral slots. One PCIe link of the
system slot connects to a PCIe Switch using PCIe Gen 2 X1. This switch distributes PCIe Gen2 X1 connection to
one fully PXIe Hybrid Slot, one PXIe Peripheral Slot and a PCIe to PCI Bridge. The PCIe to PCI bridge provides
PCI connection to the PXIe hybrid slots.
The PXIe hybrid slots 3-6 are connected to the PCI Bus. The PCIe- to PCI bridge provides a 32-bit, 33Mhz PCI
Bus.
The system controller slot has also connectivity to PXI_CLK10, PXI Trigger Bus and PXI Local Bus 6.
The mechanical momentary switch at the front panel transitions the PWRBTN# from open-circuit to GND to open
circuit. The system board uses this ON/OFF state to control the PS_ON# signal. The PS_ON# signal turns on the
chassis’ main power supply.
Alternatively, the chassis can be turned on without the momentary switch on the front panel. Therefore the auto
mode of the chassis has to be turned on. The auto mode can be turned on by changing the DIP-
Switch’s position
1, on the chassis’ rear panel, into the ON-state.
PXIe Peripheral Slot
The chassis provides one PXIe peripheral slot 2. The peripheral slot is fully compliant with the
PXI-5 PXI Express
Hardware Specification
. The backplane connects the PCIe Switch using PCIE Gen2 X1 to the PXIe peripheral
slot. The PXI Express peripheral slot can accept the following modules:
-
A PXI Express peripheral module.
-
A PXI Express hybrid peripheral module.
-
A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral module.
-
A CompactPCI 32-bit peripheral with +3.3 V or +5 V V(I/O).
Hybrid Peripheral Slots
The PXCe4006 provides 4 PXIe hybrid peripheral slots that are fully compliant with the
PXI-5 PXI Express
Hardware Specification.
The PXI Express hybrid peripheral slots can accept the following modules:
-
A PXI Express peripheral module.
-
A CompactPCI Express Type-2 Peripheral module.
-
A hybrid-compatible PXI peripheral module that has been modified by replacing the J2 connector with an
XJ4 connector installed in the upper eight rows of J2. Refer to PXI Express specification for details. The
PXI periphe
ral communicates through the backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus.
