2192-09728-000-000 J570 ACEpc BASEBOARD PN Number: PN ACEpc BASEBOARD Introduction The ACEpc baseboard is a platform for using Arcom processor boards together with AIM 104 I/O modules. ACEpc Baseboard key features are: Field powered at 24VDC nominal Terminal breakouts for up to 128 I/O lines 16bit and 8bit PC/104 bus support RS232 COMMS ports with PC/AT compatible 9way connectors 188EB, 386EX, SBC104, Elan-104 processor boards. Up to 8 PC104 I/O modules can be installed Power Input Power Input The standard power supply for ACEpc is 18watts fully isolated which is capable of supporting up to 5 PC104 I/O modules. Other options available are: 15watts non-isolated (up to 4 PC104 I/O modules) 30 watts isolated (up to 8 PC104 O/I modules) The input power can be within the range of 12VDC. To 30VDC. Over voltage protection and reverse protection are by electronic resetable fuse with a shunt Zener limiter. On-board supply regulators offer 5VDC (logic) and ±12VDC for RS232 COMMS. Power is shared between the logic supply and the COMMS supply up to the maximum. The maximum taken by COMMS is 2.5W, which is sufficient for up to four Arcom AIM104-SER4C serial boards (giving 16 RS232 PORTS). Non-isolated power supplies are referenced to the field power supply although the OV common is separate from the chassis ground. APCpc Baseboard includes the facility for a Ground strap to OV if this is required for safety or shielding. (See diagram). To connect GND to the system, either use the stud on the case, or wire to the Power Input GND terminal. Use a wire link between the on-board screw terminals OV and GND to guard against floating OV. -ve +ve GND POWER INPUT Regulated Power output GND X 0V X GND terminals connect to board gnd-plane Page 1 J570 ACEpc BASEBOARD 2192-09728-000-000 AIM104 Modules The ACEpc Baseboard has two sites for AIM104 I/O modules, which support a wide range of I/O functions with on board signal conditioning. (See Assembly Drawing on page 4). Using the mounting kits supplied, AIM104 modules can be plugged into either Site and stacked to a maximum of four high (with the high profile cover). External connections are then made through ribbon cable headers translated to screw terminals on the Baseboard. I/O Connection AIM104-I/O modules using IDC headers for signal connection have I/O arranged in groups of up to eight signals with two supply references. These 10way groupings can be split out of a multiway ribbon cable for selective use in a system based on the APCpc Baseboard. External wiring can then be made to screw terminal ports with a generic pin designation : EXTERNAL PIN ASSIGNMENTS Pin numbers follow the ribbon cable wire number. PIN 1 3 5 7 9 SIG REFa IO1 IO3 IO5 IO7 SIG IO0 IO2 IO4 IO6 REFb PIN 2 4 6 8 10 1 3 2 5 4 7 6 9 8 10 AIM104 modules often include several groups of 10way I/O. By splitting the ribbon cable, only the groups which are required are terminated and maximum use can be made of the screw terminal break-out connectors on the Apex Baseboard. The diagram on the page 4 shows the general assembly of a system. Linking Information There are two sites on the ACEpc motherboard where it is possible to remove the EMC filtering components from the I/O connection circuit by simply removing the links. This provision is to enable PC104 modules that are likely to be adversely effected by the addition of another set of filters in the line, such as Arcom's Motion1 board. See Assembly drawing on page 4 for more detail. Accessories and Options General options for the baseboard product are: 188EB, 386EX, SBC104, Elan-104 processor boards. Low profile cover (4 AIM modules max.) or High cover (8 AIM modules max.) Panel mounting plates or DIN rail mounting feet. ACE-TERM pack consisting of 8 connectors to mate up with the I/O sockets fitted to the ACEpc. The breakout details are as described above. ACE-CAB50 50way IDC to 5 10 way IDC (10 ways supplied loose) to enable interconnection between the AIM104 modules and the motherboard. Accessory products: COMMS breakout panel for AIM104-SER4C (not avaliable if using the Elan processor) SBC104 VGA end plate option The COMMS breakout panel fits in place of the standard end panel and supports four additional PC/AT style COM connectors. RX/TX activity for each channel is indicated by LEDs. This panel is Page 2 2192-09728-000-000 J570 ACEpc BASEBOARD designed to plug directly to an AIM module in Site A, thus minimising the internal wiring. The SBCVGA end plate option gives breakout for VGA, LPT1 and Ethernet connectors. Development Support Arcom offers development support for all combinations of the ACEpc in the form of Target Development kits for the 188EB and the 386EX Target processors and ROM-DOS, Remote disk development, and flash filing system available for the SBC104 and the Elan104 processor types, Target software can be developed and debugged on a host PC using Arcoms SourceVIEW development tools. Other software can be developed on a host PC and downloaded to flash via a serial link for the SBC104 and the Elan104. Specification Power input 24VDC nominal (12VDC to 32VDC) non-isolated Maximum load 15W, 5V 3A , +12V 80mA, -12V 80mA (power sharing) Temperature range -20°C to +70°C ambient Dimensions 185mm x 275mm approx. without cables/connectors.
