PCIe/104-Based Data Acquisition (DAQ) and Control Products

104-Express Based Data Acquisition (DAQ) and Control

SMALL FORM FACTOR EMBEDDED COMPUTER BOARDS

104-Express boards are typically intended for use in small, space-constrained industrial control or vehicles systems. The standard size of these modules is just 3.550 × 3.775 inches (90 × 96 mm).

The name PC/104 comes from the original IBM computer known as the “PC”, and the number of pins used to connect the cards together (104). 104-Express boards, like PC/104 boards, are typically stacked on top of each other using stackable bus connectors and mounting holes at the corner of each module. This provides a much more rugged, embedded computer that can be used in harsh environments such as those found in military or industrial applications.

These rugged, self-stacking modules, allow for an expandable system without the burden of a motherboard or backplane with a fixed number of slots. Additionally, since 104-Express is basically PCI Express with a different form factor, most of the program development tools used for PCs can be used for a 104-Express system. This reduces the cost of purchasing new tools and also greatly reduces the learning curve for programmers and hardware designers.

Almost anything you can think of is available as a 104-Express module. This includes common functions like CPUs, Analog, Digital, and Serial I/O ports, and Video Controllers; in addition to more special function modules like GPS receivers, vehicle power supplies, and wireless communications. A 104-Express stack can be attached as a component of a larger circuit board, or simply put in a small enclosure for stand-alone operation.

Since 104-Express systems are small and usually have low power requirements, they are traditionally used in applications that simply don’t have the space for a standard industrial computer or desktop PC. Some sample applications for this type of technology include the following: military applications, industrial control systems, vehicular systems, data loggers, aviation, vending machines, test equipment, medical instruments, and communications devices.

ACCES offers 104-Express I/O boards that include analog in, analog out, serial RS232, RS422, RS485, digital I/O, relay I/O and more. Additionally, ACCES has partnered with leading PC/104 CPU vendors to offer complete system solutions. By using 104-Express, design and application engineers can easily and economically provide numerous configurations to customers requiring the strong and rugged characteristics of 104-Express.

mPCIe-IIRO-8
mPCIe-IIRO-8

8 OR 4-Channel Isolated Digital Input and Relay Output with Change-of-State (COS) PCI Express Mini Card

The mPCIe-IIRO-8 consists of a type F1 PCI Express Mini Card (mPCIe) interface board that connects to a Mobile-ITX-sized, DB-37M Isolation Module via an included 9” cable. That module is designed to be easily panel-mounted in any application environment. It uses the high speed PCI Express bus to transfer digital data to and from the card. The digital I/O is compatible with 8255 PPI chips making it easy to program. This allows for simple and trouble-free migration from other ACCES PCI and PCI Express digital I/O cards, but also provides for advanced features enabled by the onboard FPGA logic.

The mPCIe-IIRO cards are well suited to complex environments, mitigating otherwise challenging ground-loops, high-common-mode, and transient voltage spikes common in electrically-noisy industrial or factory locations. The broad voltage compatibility and high current outputs allows use in a wide range of applications.

The non-polarized inputs support both AC and DC, and configuration jumpers allow 4.7ms input filters to be enabled per-channel, as desired – required for AC use. The isolated inputs support voltages from 3 to 31 VDC/VAC RMS [40Hz to 10000Hz], as well as standard 12/24 AC control transformer signals.

The mPCIe-IIRO-8 and mPCIe-RO-8 have 5 Form C (“Single-pole, double-throw”, or SPDT) and 3 Form A (SPST) electromechanical relays.
The mPCIe-IIRO-4 has 4 Form C (“Single-pole, double-throw”, or SPDT) electromechanical relays.
All relays are capable of 1A continuous-current load.

Change of State (COS) detection and interrupt capabilities are designed to relieve software from polling routines that can consume valuable processing time. Each port can be programmed for detecting state changes on their lines, in which any changes of the enabled port’s bits (low-to-high or high-to-low) will generate an IRQ. An ISR (interrupt service routine) then determines which bit changed state and clears the interrupt.

Digital ∫ Features

Models include new Digital Integration Features on 8 bits of input and 8 bits of output.

  • Inputs: Enhanced Change-of-State IRQs can be enabled on a bit-by-bit basis, with a selectable (rising/falling) edge.  Separately enabled per-bit edges are counted with an optional overflow IRQ.  Low-side and high-side pulse widths are measured with a resolution as fine as 8ns.  These measurements automatically provide both frequency and duty cycle measurements for waveforms up to 65.5 MHz.
  • Outputs: Individual rising-or-falling pulses can be generated, individually or simultaneously on up to 8 output bits, with durations controllable with 8ns resolution.  Sequential pulses or continuous frequencies (with programmable duty-cycle) can also be output.
  • EZUpdate: FPGA supports EZUpdate allowing new FPGA code to be written via software across the PCI Express bus, allowing field upgrade with new features.

For details regarding Digital Integration Feautres please refer to the Digital Integration Features Reference.

mPCIe-ICM422-4 Isolated Serial Card Family
mPCIe-ICM422-4 Isolated Serial Card Family

Four, two, and single-port isolated RS422 PCI Express Mini Cards

The mPCIe-ICM422 family of cards feature high performance 16C950-class UARTs. Available in 4-port (mPCIe-ICM422-4), 2-port (mPCIe-ICM422-2) and 1-port (mPCIe-ICM422-1) versions, each port is capable of communication speeds as high as 3Mbps and has 128-byte deep transmit and receive FIFOs. Large FIFOs protect against data loss in multitasking operating systems, reduce CPU utilization, and improve data throughput, while reducing or eliminating inter-character or inter-packet pauses. The advanced integrated circuit with pre-scalar supports a wide variety of custom baud rates, and any rates not otherwise achievable can be supported via a custom factory-installed crystal oscillator (up to 12Mbps!).

Tru-Iso™ port-to-port and port-to-PC isolation provides a robust solution to common signal level and grounding issues when using long cables to connect computers and other powered devices – up to 500V of difference between pins and adjacent ports and 1500V between each port and the host computer.

Communication is possible either with custom application software, with off-the-shelf applications (such as HyperTerminal), or with provided samples and utilities, including WinRISC™ (“Windows Really Incredibly Simple Communication).

The serial ports on the device are accessed using a low-profile, latching, 5-pin Hirose connector. Optional breakout cables are available, and bring each port connection to a panel-mountable DB9-M connector.

Applications

The mPCIe-ICM422 Series is especially useful in applications where high common-mode external voltages are present. Isolation is required to guard electronics from transient voltage spikes and offers greater common-mode noise rejection in surroundings containing industrial machinery and inductive loads. These applications include factory automation, energy management, industrial ON/OFF control, security systems, manufacturing test, and process monitoring. Careful attention has been paid to isolation design, including extensive keep-out zones and hand-routed circuit paths, as well as component and material selection.

mPCIe-DIO-24S Family
mPCIe-DIO-24S Family

The mPCIe-DIO-24S is a type F1 PCI Express Mini Card (mPCIe) and optional cable assembly (D-Sub 37-pin Male connector) designed to be easily panel-mounted in any application environment. It uses the high speed PCI Express bus to transfer digital data to and from the card. The digital I/O is compatible with 8255 PPI chips making it easy to program. This also allows for simple and trouble-free migration from other ACCES PCI and PCI Express digital I/O cards, but also provides for advanced features enabled by the onboard FPGA logic.

The card provides three 8-bit I/O ports designated A, B and C. Port C can be further divided into two 4-bit nybbles. Each port can be programmed as inputs or outputs. Change of State (COS) detection and interrupt capabilities are designed to relieve software from polling routines that can consume valuable processing time. Each port can be programmed for detecting state changes on their lines, in which any changes of the enabled port’s bits (low-to-high or high-to-low) will generate an IRQ. An ISR (interrupt service routine) then determines which bit changed state and clears the interrupt.

Digital ∫ Features

“S” Models include new Digital Integration Features on 8 bits of input and 8 bits of output.

  • Inputs: Enhanced Change-of-State IRQs can be enabled on a bit-by-bit basis, with a selectable (rising/falling) edge.  Separately enabled per-bit edges are counted with an optional overflow IRQ.  Low-side and high-side pulse widths are measured with a resolution as fine as 8ns.  These measurements automatically provide both frequency and duty cycle measurements for waveforms up to 65.5 MHz.
  • Outputs: Individual rising-or-falling pulses can be generated, individually or simultaneously on up to 8 output bits, with durations controllable with 8ns resolution.  Sequential pulses or continuous frequencies (with programmable duty-cycle) can also be output.
  • EZUpdate: FPGA supports EZUpdate allowing new FPGA code to be written via software across the PCI Express bus, allowing field upgrade with new features.

For details regarding Digital Integration Features please refer to the Digital Integration Features Reference.
