PEP/KONTRON CP600/610 CompactPCI Single Board Computer - Double Height Computer, Support Socket 7 Processors, 14 Peripheral Slots, 32MByte to 192Mbyte DRAM, SVGA, Ethernet, FDD, 4xCOM/2xUSB Simple Type: CPU Board

The CP600 and CP610 are highly integrated 6U CompactPCI board sdesigned for use with Socket 7 processors up to and exceeding 300 MHz and ruggedly constructed for industrial environment applications. The CP600 and CP610 meet the needs of a wide range of industrial control and processing applications and is available as a 4HP unit or and 8Hp unit. Both may be used with or without cooling fan or passive heat-sink (depending on the installed processor.) Designed for stability and packaged in a rugged format, the boards fit into all applications situated in industrial environments. Extra board stiffness by way of a stiffener bar further enhance the industrial capability of these CPUs. The low power feature of the boards is further assured through the use of voltage reduced technology (VRT) and 3.3V power supply for support of the latest 64 Mbit DRAM components. Not necessaril y requiring the CompactPCI bus backplane to operate, and fully able to function on a standalone basis due to the high-integration of board features and commonly used peripheral devices, these 6U CPU boards form the power house behind all 6U CompactPCI applications. The CPUs are compatible with the following operating systems: Microsoft Windows NT, VxWorks, QNX, and others requiring the standard PC boot configuration are available on request. The performance of CompactPCI can be tuned to suit real-time applications and operating systems like VxWorks or QNX which are instrumental in the success of CompactPCI in these market sectors. For industrial applications, a solid mechanical configuration requires easy access to the main module interfaces.Therefore, all critical user I/O (keyboard, system hard reset, twin USBs, COM1, (COM2, COM3, COM4 and LPT1 are on the 8HP front-panel), SVGA and Ethernet interfaces) are routed to the front-panel.A cutout allows standard PMC modules to be fitted to further enhance the I/O capability of the CPUs.The clever PEP design also allows I/O to appear on the rear P3 CompactPCI connector (optional on the CP600) on the backplane. All remaining mass-storage interfaces are accessible via the on-board pin-row connectors. Two IDE/ATA interfaces support for up to two hard-disks or CD drives per port.
