CP380 Introduction
ID 19313, Rev. 0100 Page 1 - 7 ® PEP Modular Computers GmbH
1.3 CP380 Models
The CP380 board family includes electrically isolated digital I/O boards for the Compact-
PCI System bus.
The electrical isolation on the boards prevents interference and high voltages (e. g. volt-
age peaks on the ground lines) from reaching the PC electronics. The inputs have been
designed for the usual voltage, typically 24 V.
On the CP380-I and CP380-I/O there are 2 modes of operation: with or without interrupt
control. The interrupt channel and base address are configured by the BIOS.
The software supplied with the board allows quick and easy installation of the board into
data acquisition and control applications. PEP support is provided for Windows NT,
HP VEE (Hewlett-Packard) and LabVIEW™ (National Instruments) (drivers are avail-
able on disk).
1.4 System Requirements
All the CP380 versions are designed for installation into CompactPCI systems only (e.g.
the CP-ASM 3,4,6,7, Tower 3).
Table 1-1: Models in the CP380 Range
Model Opto-Isolated Inputs Opto-Isolated Outputs
CP380-I 18, typical voltage 24 V. Two of the
inputs can be used as interrupt chan-
nels (i. e. 16 inputs and 2 strobes) ---
CP380-O --- 16, typical voltage 24 V; defined lev-
els at power- up and power-down
CP380-I/O 10, typical voltage, 24 V. One input
can be used as an interrupt channel,
but then only the 8 inputs of data port
B are available (i.e. 8 inputs and 1
strobe). 8, typical voltage 24V; defined levels
at power-on and power-off
