CP321 Product Overview The Kontron Modular Computers’ single-height PowerPC CPU board CP321 is a comprehen- sive computing platform which brings together the latest advances in computing technology in a board designed for maximum performance, flexibility, and versatility within a rugged compact format.
115.2 KBaud. A separate transition module, the CP320-TR1, is also available from Kontron which provides an optoisolated half/full duplex RS485 interface. When installed, this module replaces the stan- dard onboard SER 0 interface along with its associated RJ45 connector.
Placement of the CP321 The Kontron CompactPCI system configuration is characterized by the fact that its system slot (slot “1”) is on the right end of the backplane, thus allowing for physical CPU growth (heat-sink, cooling fan, PCI expanson modules, etc.) associated with higher-performance processors.
CP320-IO1 Module CP320-IO1 Module A.1. Overview The optional Kontron CP320-IO1 module has been designed to provide the CP321 user with an effective gateway to the world of PMC modules. This additional capability opens up the broadest range of expansion possibilities.
• RxD - Receive Data • RTS - Request to Send (used on PC based systems for hardware handshaking) • CTS - (used on PC and Kontron systems for hardware handshaking) • DTR - (used on Kontron systems for hardware handshaking) The board itself is available in the E2 temperature range.
PMC-HDD1 Module Board description The optional PMC-HDD1 module provides the Kontron PowerPC-based CPU boards with a cost-effective way to add substantial mass storage capacity. It is designed to connect a 2.5” IDE hard disk drive to the PCI bus of those boards. It is based on the silicon image IDE con- troller SiI0680, which provides the interface between the 32 bit wide, 33 MHz PCI bus and a standard IDE hard disk drive.
