(In such a case, reinstalling the correct firmware variant can restore the functionality.) To update the firmware, do the following: • Download the latest firmware update file from genesis.goepel.com Open the GOEPEL electronics HardwareExplorer • • Right-click on the selected device (for example "PCIe6281") and select "Flash Firmware" •...
3 Technical Description 3.1 Product Description The G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller is an industrial test system from GOEPEL electronics with a wide range of applications and high flexibility. This test system is specially adapted to the needs and transmission standards in the vehicle sector.
The G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller is designed as PCIe Version 2.1 and has 4 lanes. It has a bandwidth of 5 GBit/s per lane and a maximum transfer rate of 2 GByte/s (without protocol overhead).
3.4 Design and Function The G PCIe 6281 Controller has been developed as a highly flexible multibus controller platform. It offers up to eight serial bus interfaces and another eight digital I/O interfaces. The bus interfaces can be configured in nu- merous variants.
3 Technical Description 3.4.1 Block Diagram Figure 3.2 Block Diagram of the G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller 3.4.2 Pin Assignment For connecting the communication interfaces a total of four RJ.5 connectors are provided. On each of the RJ.5 connectors are the signals from two bus interfaces and one digital IN and one digital OUT signal.
3.4.3 LAN/ Ethernet The board has an RJ45 Ethernet socket for configuring and controlling the G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller us- ing a PC. If necessary, if the board is e.g. in a rack that is only for power, this interface can act as a host interface.
3 Technical Description 3.4.4 LEDs/ Status Indication The LEDs arranged on the front panel provide information about the current operating status of the G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller. The display states of the LEDs are explained in the following table: LED1...
Due to the large number of possible variants, how the various bus interfaces can be connected to the transceiv- er slots some variants were defined in order to be able to handle these on the firmware side. The G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller can be equipped with these variants.
3 Technical Description 3.5.1 CAN/ CAN FD The G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller supports a total of eight CAN/ CAN FD interfaces. For CAN and CAN FD the same transceiver is used: • TJA1044GT The following specifications apply to the transceiver: Symbol Parameter Min.
3.5.3 FlexRay The G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller supports a total of two FlexRay interfaces. Since a FlexRay transceiver can map either the A or B channel, two slots are required per interface. For the total of two possible FlexRay inter- faces, a total of 4 slots are occupied.
3.5.5 Digital IO The G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller supports a total of eight interfaces for Digital I/O. Of these four interfaces can be used as a digital input and four as a digital output. These are firmly installed on the board.
G-API folder of the supplied "Product Information" CD 4.2 Programming via LabVIEW The supplied CD contains a VI collection that can be used to access the G PCIe 6281 Multibus Controller under LabVIEW. The LabVIEW VIs use the functions of the G-API .
4 Software UserCode programs can be downloaded and debugged directly from the Net2Run IDE via an Ethernet connec- tion. 4.4 Additional Software Interfaces 4.4.1 File System The software interface "FS" (File System) allows, among others, to create, copy, delete, run, and finding files on the hardware.
4 Software 4.5 Reset the Device The Series 62 Multibus Controller starts automatically when the power is turned on. During operation, a software reset of the device may be performed via the API to reset the configurations to their default values. Each interface can be initialized individually or all interfaces together. To initialize an interface, the command G_Common_InitInterface can be used.
UserCode programs. This option is required for each Series 62 Multibus Controller.
