The TPCE200 is a standard height PCI Express, Revision 2.0 compatible module that provides four slots for up to four single-size or two double-size IndustryPack (IP) modules used to build modular, flexible and cost effective I/O solutions for all kinds of applications like process control, medical systems, telecommunication and traffic control.
The TPCE200 is a versatile solution to upgrade well known IP I/O solutions to the PCI Express signalling standard.
Four 50-pin 0.1 inch flat ribbon cable connectors provide access to all IP I/O lines. LED status indicators for IP acknowledge, +5V and ±12V are provided.
The IP clock speed is selectable between 8MHz and 32MHz for each IP slot separately.
One memory space is provided for each IP, allowing linear addressing for 16-Bit memory on the IP.
The IP power lines are fuse protected by self-healing fuses and RF filtered. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C.
The PCIe edge card connector provides +12V and +3.3V. The TPCE200-10R uses the +12V of the PCIe edge card connector to generate all power supply voltages for the IP slots (+5V, +12V and -12V).
According to the PCIe specification, a PCIe x1 card is limited to 6W on the +12V which allows to operate most of the available IP modules in combination on the TPCE200-10R.
For increased power requirements, the TPCE200-11R offer a PCIe Graphics Power Connector to supply the +12V for generating all the power supply voltages for the IP slots providing power of up to 25W.
