3.2 Interrupts
Each IndustryPack can generate interrupts on two interrupt request lines (INT0 and INT1). The
VMEbus offers seven interrupt request level. IRQ7 has the highest priority, IRQ1 has the lowest
priority.
IP interrupt requests can be mapped to any of the 7 VME interrupt request levels. Interrupt routing
from the IP slots to the VME IRQs can be done by selection of predefined sets with a rotary switch or
programmable by software if S3 is in the range of “0” to “7”.
For more information about fully programmable interrupt mapping please refer to chapter “IP IRQ and
Control Register”.
Rotary switch S3 can be used to select predefined sets of mapping of the eight IP interrupt requests
(two requests per IP slot) to the seven VME interrupt request levels. The mapping selected with S3 =
“0” to “7” is mirrored at S3 = “8” to “F”. The difference is that access to the IP IRQ and Control
Registers of the TVME201 is only possible in switch position S3 = “0” to “7”. See Chapter “IP IRQ and
Control Register” and Chapter “VME A16 Base Address” for more details.

“-” = No VME IRQ level mapped to IP INTx
* no access to the IP IRQ and Control registers of the
TVME201 , see Chapter 4 and Chapter 3.1 for more
details.
Table 3-4 : VME Interrupt Mapping by S3
S3 = “1”, “9” corresponds to the VME Interrupt Mapping of the VIPC6xx
S3 = “2”, “A” corresponds to the VME Interrupt Mapping of the VIPC610-01 (equal to two VIPC310)
S3 = “3”, “B” corresponds to the VME Interrupt Mapping of another version of the VIPC310
The default value for S3 is “1”.
