Video
The 2060 CPU Card supports CRT monitors up to 1280 x 1024 x 8 bpp (bits per
pixel) resolution, and flat panel displays with up to 1024 x 768 x 8 bpp resolution.
CGA monitors are not supported;
Speaker, keyboard, and mouse ports
The 2060 Multiport cable contains a PC speaker, a PS/2 keyboard connector, and a
PS/2 mouse connector. Neither the keyboard nor the mouse is required for
operation.
Real time calendar/clock with battery–backup
The real time clock is fully AT compatible. An optional off-card battery powers the
real time clock when the 5 volt supply is removed. The AT battery is connected via
the 2060 Multiport cable.
Setup information stored in EEPROM for high reliability
Loss of Setup data is serious in industrial applications. Most PCs store Setup
information in battery-backed CMOS RAM. If the battery fails or is replaced
during routine maintenance, this information is lost. Without a keyboard and
monitor in embedded applications, time consuming re-initialization is required.
The 2060 CPU Card stores the Setup information in EEPROM with 1024 words
available to the user. Software routines to use this available memory come with the
2060 CPU Card.
Watchdog timer added for safety
The watchdog timer resets the system if the program stops unexpectedly. The
watchdog is enabled, disabled and strobed under software control; it can also be
enabled or disabled in Setup. The time-out period is programmable from 2 ms to
120 seconds, with a variability of
±
50%.
PC/104 interface
The PC/104 interface accepts an 8- or 16-bit PC/104 expansion board. PC/104
expansion boards are available from several manufacturers. PC/104 expansion
boards may be stacked on the PCS–620 to form a fully-integrated system.
