Additional Features
7.1
congatec Board Controller (cBC)
The conga-TS175 is equipped with Texas Instruments Tiva™ TM4E123GH6ZRBI7R microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an
important role for most of the congatec embedded/industrial PC features. It fully isolates some of the embedded features such as system
monitoring or the I²C bus from the x86 core architecture, which results in higher embedded feature performance and more reliability, even
when the x86 processor is in a low power mode. It also ensures that the congatec embedded feature set is fully compatible amongst all
congatec modules.
The board controller supports the following features:
7.1.1
Board Information
The cBC provides a rich data-set of manufacturing and board information such as serial number, EAN number, hardware and firmware revisions,
and so on. It also keeps track of dynamically changing data like runtime meter and boot counter.
7.1.2
General Purpose Input/Output
The conga-TS175 offers general purpose inputs and outputs for custom system design. These GPIOs are controlled by the cBC.
7.1.3
Watchdog
The conga-TS175 is equipped with a multi-stage watchdog solution that is triggered by software. For more information about the Watchdog
feature, see the application note AN3_Watchdog.pdf on the congatec AG website at www.congatec.com.
Note
The conga-TS175 module does not support the watchdog NMI mode.
