Pmc Interface; Bus Interfaces On The Front Panel - Star FL3X Interface-PMC Instructions For Use Manual

Ensure that all signal lines connected to the FL3X Interface-PMC are in the allowed
range.
Be sure to connect all cables as described in this manual.
It is recommended to only use cables from STAR ELECTRONICS GmbH & Co. KG. See
Chapter 8.2 Accessory Parts.
The cables for the bus channels should always be fixated by screwing the plug into the
jack.
Ensure to grasp the plug and not the cable when disconnecting the
FL3X Interface-PMC.

3.5.1 PMC Interface

The FL3X Interface-PMC can be used in PCI slots with 3.3V signaling and slots with 5V signaling. The FL3X
Interface-PMC is running on 32 Bit PCI. Figure 2 describes how to identify a PCI slot with 3.3V signaling
and a slot with 5V signaling.

signaling; below is a PCI slot with 3.3V signaling.

3.5.2 Bus Interfaces on the Front Panel

On the front panel, four Binder series 712 jacks are provided for the bus connections.
Figure 3: Front panel
One bus connector may contain either FlexRay channel A and B, two CAN channels or one Ethernet channel.
For both bus types (FlexRay and CAN), the same pin assignment and the same cables are used. Physically,
the differentiation between the bus systems is only done by the FlexTiny II modules.
The pin assignment of the FL3X Interface-PMC connectors is shown in Figure 3 and is listed in Table 5.
Whether FlexRay, CAN or CAN FD is connected depends on the mounted FlexTiny II module. When using
isolated FlexTiny II modules both pin 2 and pin 8 are isolated grounds.
