CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides a brief introduction to the ZT 8905. It includes a product definition, a list of
product features, a functional block diagram, and a description of each block. Unpacking information
and installation instructions are found in Chapter 2, "Getting Started."
PRODUCT DEFINITION
The term ZT 8905 is used throughout this manual to reference both the ZT 8905 and the ZT 8906,
except where otherwise noted. Specific differences between the two are explicitly stated. Refer to
Appendix B for specifications.
ZT 8905
The ZT 8905 is a highly integrated, single board computer that is factory configured to operate with
the Pentium® (P54C) family of microprocessors. The board meets the needs of a wide range of
industrial control and processing applications by operating stand alone, as a single master in an
STD 32® architecture, or as a permanent or temporary master in an STD 32 STAR SYSTEM™
architecture. High speed peripheral operation is provided by an on-board PCI expansion interface.
ZT 8906
The ZT 8906 is physically a ZT 8905 with a three-slot CompactPCI™ enclosure attached to it. This
enclosure allows high-speed PCI peripherals to be used as a processing core, yet allows access to
the STD 32 Bus architecture for I/O available on that bus structure.
All other features of the ZT 8906 are identical to the ZT 8905 unless otherwise noted in this manual.
The following topics discuss stand-alone, STD 32 single master, and STD 32 multiple master (STAR
SYSTEM) operation.
Stand Alone
The ZT 8905 does not require an STD bus backplane to operate. The ZT 8905 is able to operate
stand-alone in many applications because of the large selection of the most commonly needed
peripheral devices. On-board peripheral devices include:
•
2 or 4 Mbyte Flash file system for disk support
•
Counter/timers
•
PCI local bus expansion port (CompactPCI compliant)
•
Watchdog timer
•
Optional IDE hard disk interface
•
Real-time clock
•
Keyboard controller
•
Serial I/O
•
Speaker interface
•
Interrupt controllers
