PACKED INDUSTRIAL PC WITH INTEL PENTIUM III PROCESSOR
The PIP8 is a highly integrated robust industrial PC with a specially designed high quality aluminum
housing. This allows the system to operate without fan or ventilation holes. The design integrates standard
connectors for easy connection. It can be used for any PC application where a complete solution is needed.
The PIP8 can be used in a standard or in a rugged operating environment, is 100% PC/AT compatible and
can easily be mounted on a 35mm DIN rail.
The PIP8 housing offers space for a 2.5 inch hard disk and a slim-line floppy disk drive. With the integrated
PC/104 interface flexible expansion possibilities are available. Fully bootable FLASH disks are supported for
projects where hard disks or floppy disks cannot be used. Particular precautions have been taken that the
EMC for the entire system be within the CE and FCC limits.
All these features make the PIP8 the ideal solution for the industry wherever a flexible, rugged, and durable
complete Industrial PC is needed.

  • Page 45: Hardware Watchdog

    WDT interrupt is mapped to an interrupt channel through the WDT_CFG configuration register. When mapped to an interrupt the interrupt signal follows the value of the time-out status bit (TOS). The PIP8 has a special system logic that can generate a system reset when the WDT asserts IRQ15 ( this does not affect the systems IRQ15 ).

    With its high noise immunity and fail-safe operation it is ideal as a control network for industrial applications. On the PIP8, the CAN interface is based upon the CAN controller AN82527 from Intel. The controller is a highly integrated stand-alone device, containing all necessary modules to perform the functions of the CAN data link layer.

    In a system design, two aspects regarding EMI must be observed. These aspects are immunity to (external) disturbances and prevention of Radio Frequency emissions (RF). On the PIP8, both aspects are taken into account. Some immunity is given for free since many components do already contain internal circuits providing at least minor protection to ESD.
