KEY AVME9630/9660 FEATURES
•
Interface for Two or Four IP Modules
- Provides an
electrical and mechanical interface for up to four industry
standard IP modules. IP Modules are available from Acromag
and other vendors in a wide variety of Input/Output
configurations to meet the needs of varied applications.
•
Provides Full IP Data Access
- Supports accesses to IP
input/output, memory, and ID PROM data spaces.
•
Full IP Register Access
- Makes maximum use of logically
organized programmable registers on the carrier boards to
provide for easy configuration and control of IP modules. The
only hardware jumper settings required on the carrier boards
set the base address of the card in the VMEbus short I/O
space.
•
LED Displays Simplify Debugging
- Front panel LED's are
dedicated to each IP module to give a visual indication of
successful IP accesses.
•
Front Panel Connectors Access I/O
- Front panel access to
field I/O signals is provided via industry standard 50-pin
headers. A separate header is provided for each IP module.
All headers can be connected to flat ribbon cable from the
front panel without interference from boards in adjacent slots.
Ejector latches on the headers provide for excellent
connection integrity and easy cable removal.
•
Optional Screw Termination Panel
- Model supports field
connection via screw terminals using the optional DIN rail
mount termination panels.
•
Memory Space Access Support
- IP memory space
accesses are supported and software configurable from
1Mbyte to 8Mbytes in the VMEbus standard address space.
•
Supports Two Interrupt Channels per IP
- Up to two
interrupt requests are supported for each IP. The VMEbus
interrupt level is software programmable. Additional registers
are associated with each interrupt request for control and
status monitoring.
•
Supervisory Circuit for Reset Generation
- A
microprocessor supervisor circuit provides power-on, power-
off, and low power detection reset signals to the IP modules
per the IP specification.
•
Individually Filtered Power
- Fi5V, +12V, and -12V
DC power is provided to the IP modules via passive filters
present on each supply line serving each IP. This provides
optimum filtering and isolation between the IP modules and
the carrier board and allows analog signals to be accurately
measured or reproduced on IP modules without signal
degradation from the carrier board logic signals.
VMEbus INTERFACE FEATURES
•
Slave Module
-
Carrier Register Short I/O Access A16, D16/D08(O)
IP Module ID Space A16, D16/D08(O)
IP Module I/O Space A16, D16/D08(EO)
IP Module Memory Space A24, D16/D08(EO)
•
Supports Short I/O Address Modifiers
- Supports short I/O
(A16) address modifiers 29H, 2DH (H = Hex). Short I/O
space is used for all carrier registers and IP module I/O and
ID spaces. The carrier board base address is set by
hardware jumpers and decoded on 1K byte boundaries.
•
Supports Standard I/O Address Modifiers
- Supports
standard (A24) address modifiers 39H, 3DH (H = Hex).
Standard address space is used when an IP supports
memory space. The carrier board is configured using
programmable registers to set the IP starting address and
size (1Mbyte to 8Mbytes).
•
Supports Read-Modify-Write Cycles
- Carrier board
supports VMEbus read-modify-write cycles.
•
Interrupt Support
- I(1-7) interrupter D16/D08 (O). Up to two
interrupt requests are supported for each IP module. The
VMEbus interrupt level is software programmable. Carrier
board software programmable registers are utilized as
interrupt request control and status monitors. Interrupt
release mechanism is Release On Register Access (RORA)
type.
SIGNAL INTERFACE PRODUCTS
(See Appendix for more information on compatible products)
This IP carrier board will mate directly to all industry standard
IP modules. Acromag provides the following interface products (all
connections to field signals are made through the carrier board
which passes them to the individual IP modules):
Cables:
Model 5025-551-X (Shielded Cable) or Model 5025-550-X
(Non-Shielded Cable): A Flat 50-pin cable with female
connectors at both ends for connecting AVME9630/9660, or
other compatible carrier boards, to Model 5025-552 termination
panels. The unshielded cable is recommended for digital I/O,
while the shielded cable is recommended for optimum
performance with precision analog I/O applications.
Termination Panel:
Model 5025-552: DIN-rail mountable panel provides 50 screw
terminals for universal field I/O termination. Connects to
Acromag AVME9630/9660, or other compatible carrier boards,
via flat 50-pin ribbon cable (Model 5025-550-X or 5025-551-X).
Transition Module:
Model TRANS-GP: This module repeats field I/O connections
of IP modules A through D for rear exit from the card cage. It
is available for use in card cages which provide rear exit for I/O
connections via transition modules (transition modules can
only be used in card cages specifically designed for them). It
is a double-height (6U), single-slot module with front panel
hardware adhering to the VMEbus mechanical dimensions,
except for shorter printed circuit board depth. Connects to
Acromag Termination Panel 5025-552 from the rear of the card
cage, and to AVME9630/ 9660 boards within the card cage, via
flat 50-pin ribbon cable within the card cage (cable Model
5025-550-X or 5025-551-X).
INDUSTRIAL I/O PACK SOFTWARE LIBRARY
Acromag provides an Industrial I/O Pack Software Library
diskette (Model IPSW-LIB-M03-1.44MB, MSDOS format) to
simplify communication with Acromag IP modules. All functions
are written in the “C” programming language and can be linked to
your application. Refer to the “README.TXT” file in the root
directory on the diskette for more details and the “96X0.TXT” files
of the “AVME9660/9630” subdirectories that correspond to your
carrier model.
