Settings for ALSPA C80 HPC (Logidyn D2)
The system ALSPA C80 HPC is a VME based system for fast control and regulation,
developed by GE Energy Power Conversion, Berlin, Germany. The ibaLink-VME inter-
face card can be used in a HPC rack with Logidyn D2.
Note
For the older system A800 / Logidyn D1 only the modified version of the board
(ibaLink-VME-16Bit) can be used.

Engineering notes for ibaLink-VME with ALSPA C80 HPC (Logidyn D2)
Four VMEbus addresses are reserved by GE Energy for the operation of ibaLink-VME
cards. Hence up to 4 ibaLink-VME cards can be used in one HPC rack. The memory
ranges are 512 kByte wide, though only 256 kByte are currently used, with reference for
future extensions.
