  • Page 30: Supervision Features

    SUPERVISION FEATURES 6.4.1 WATCHDOG The PCI-934 provides a two-stage watchdog to monitor the CPU inactivity. The function of the watchdog is to generate a failure signal if the processor is not able to generate a 0-1-0 data toggle for longer than the watchdog timeout period. The feature is useful in embedded systems where human supervision is not required or impossible.
  • Page 31 PCI-934 Technical Reference Manual Single-Stage Watchdog In a single-stage configuration, the first watchdog detector monitors the output of the first stage watchdog time-out. To operate the watchdog, the processor drives the watchdog input (WDI) with an I/O line. It toggles WDI once every 1.6 seconds (typical) to verify the proper software execution.

  • Page 32: Power Failure Detection

    Installing and Working with System Components 6.4.2 POWER FAILURE DETECTION A power failure may be detected if a low battery condition occurs (battery voltage drops below 3V). The power failure detector status can be readout from one bit of the system register located at the address 191h, 291h or 391h (depending on the I/O address selected in CMOS setup).

  • Page 40: Serial Port 2 (J7)

    Installing Peripherals 8.2.2 SERIAL PORT 2 (J7) By default the Serial Port 2 is set as RS-232. In this configuration, it functions the same way as Serial Port 1, with the same pinout. However, the Serial Port 2 may be set for RS-422/RS- 485 operations, using the BIOS Setup program.
  • Page 41 PCI-934 Technical Reference Manual RS-422/RS-485 Mode When configured for RS-422/RS-485 operation, the Serial Port 2 can transmit and receive differential signals, in either full-duplex or party line communication. Communicating with differential signals requires one pair of wires for the transmission and a pair of wires for the reception (RS-422).
  • Page 42 Installing Peripherals RS-485 - Party Line Operation: The RS-485 offers the ability to transmit and receive over the same pair of wires (RX outputs: pins 3 and 4), and share the same communication line with multiple stations. To ensure this configuration, only one system takes the control of the communication line at the time.

  • Page 43: Parallel Port

    PCI-934 Technical Reference Manual PARALLEL PORT The PCI-934 provides a bi-directional parallel port, compatible with PC/XT, AT, PS/2, EPP and ECP modes. To operate in EPP or ECP mode, the peripheral must be designed to operate in this mode and the BIOS setup must be configured to support it. The differences between the three modes appear in their pin assignation.

  • Page 44: Standard Mode

    Installing Peripherals 8.3.1 STANDARD MODE The Standard mode is an unidirectional parallel port. It is used for its compatibility with the IBM PC standard. 8.3.2 EPP MODE The EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) mode consists of a hardware independent method of accessing a parallel port configured as EPP.

  • Page 46: Usb Ports

    Installing Peripherals USB PORTS USB is becoming the new essential peripheral interface. The USB strengths are as follows: the ability to daisy chain as many as 127 devices, a 12Mbps transfer rate, and the standardization of peripheral interfaces into a single format. USB support Plug and Play and hot swapping operations (OS level) which is the most user friendly feature, since this means that the system will support a new USB device installation without rebooting.

  • Page 47: Ethernet

    9. ETHERNET The board supports both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX on the same RJ-45 edge bracket connector. 10Mbps and 100Mbps network speed is automatically detected and switched. The onboard Ethernet interface may be set for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX operation modes: The 10Base-T interface uses UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables, category 5, 4 or 3 (5 is better), while the 100Base-TX cable must use category 5.
