IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
You must consider the possible negative effects of power, wiring,
component, sensor, or software failure in the design of any type of
control or monitoring system. This is very important where property
loss or human life is involved. It is important that you perform
satisfactory overall system design and it is agreed between you and
Acromag, that this is your responsibility.

1.0 General Information
The Acromag APMC4110 Powered PMC Carrier is a board that functions as a stand-alone PCI
interface. Using an external power supply, the carrier allows any industry standard PMC module to
be mounted without an accompany processor. The user has full access to the field I/O via two 50-
pin ribbon cable connectors, P1 and P2. A 14-pin Xilinx JTAG connector is also available for
utilizing boundary scan debugging. A manual reset button allows the user to force a RST# signal
when needed. An on-board DC-DC converter creates +3.3VDC from the external +5VDC source,
lowering the number of external power connections required.
1.1 FIELD I/O CONNECTORS
The PMC module’s connections are made to the Acromag APMC4110 carrier field I/O
connections through the P1 and P2 50-pin connectors. The connections are terminated as defined
within the PCI specification. The reset and clock signals are sourced from the APMC4110. In
addition, power is provided to the PMC module through the APMC4110 Carrier board.
The field I/O connections are made via two 50 pin ribbon cable connectors. Table 1.1 indicates
the pin assignments for the field I/O signal mapping of the Powered PMC Carrier board for
connector P1. Table 1.2 indicates the pin assignments for the field I/O signal mapping of the
Powered PMC Carrier board for connector P2. The field I/O signals are split equally between the
two connectors.
The diagram below shows how the pins on the I/O pins in the tables correspond to the P1 and
P2 connectors on the Powered PMC Carrier module.
Note: Notice the notch on the top side of the connector. Pin 1 is indicated with a square pad.
The odd pins are in order on the top row from right to left, as shown. The even pins are in order on
the bottom row from right to left.
Pin 49 Pin 1
Pin 50 Pin 2

1.2 POWER
The APMC4110 module features a 4-pin power connection. An external power supply is used
to provide the proper voltage and current to the board. Use the table and figure below to make the
appropriate connections. An external +3.3VDC connection is not needed; this voltage is generated
on-board via a high-current DC-DC converter.
CAUTION: Ensure your power connections are correct BEFORE turning on your power supply.
Incorrect power connections may cause hazardous conditions and damage the board.
Pin Voltage Current
1 COMMON N/A
2 +12 VDC ±10% 0.5A Max
3 -12 VDC ±10% 0.5A Max
4 +5 VDC ±5% 6.0A Max

pin female header P3 on the board.

1.3 MANUAL RESET
The APMC4110 module features a manual reset button. This is a SPST switch which can be
pressed to assert the active-low RST# signal and reset the PMC module. A reset delay chip is
used on the board to keep RST# asserted for a minimum of 140ms after the +5VDC rail has risen
above 1V. This is designed to prevent code execution errors during power-up, power-down, or
potential brown-out conditions when +5VDC dips too low.
1.4 XILINX JTAG PORT
A standard 14-pin Xilinx JTAG connection is available for utilizing the TDI, TDO, TCK, and TMS
signals routed through the PMC connectors. The pin out for this connector (P4) is shown in the
table below.

2.0 PREPARATION FOR USE
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Upon receipt of this product, inspect the shipping carton for evidence of mishandling during
transit. If the shipping carton is badly damaged or water stained, request that the carrier's agent be
present when the carton is opened. If the carrier's agent is absent when the carton is opened and
the contents of the carton are damaged, keep the carton and packing material for the agent's
inspection.
For repairs to a product damaged in shipment, refer to the Acromag Service Policy to obtain
return instructions. It is suggested that salvageable shipping cartons and packing material be
saved for future use in the event the product must be shipped.
WARNING: This board utilizes static sensitive components and should only be handled at a static-
safe workstation.
This board is physically protected with packing material and electrically protected with an anti-
static bag during shipment. However, it is recommended that the board be visually inspected for
evidence of mishandling prior to applying power.
2.2 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Refer to the specifications for loading and power requirements. Be sure that the system power
supplies are able to accommodate the power requirements of the system boards, plus the installed
Acromag board, within the voltage tolerances specified.
IMPORTANT: Adequate air circulation must be provided to prevent a temperature rise above the
maximum operating temperature.
Adequate air circulation must be provided to prevent a temperature rise above the maximum
operating temperature and to prolong the life of the electronics. If the installation is in an industrial
environment and the board is exposed to environmental air, careful consideration should be given
to air-filtering.
2.3 NON-ISOLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The board is non-isolated, since there is electrical continuity between the PCI interface and
PMC module grounds. As such, the field I/O connections are not isolated from the system. Care
should be taken in designing installations without isolation to avoid noise pickup and ground loops
caused by multiple ground connections.

3.0 SERVICE AND REPAIR ASSISTANCE
Surface-Mounted Technology (SMT) boards are generally difficult to repair. It is highly
recommended that a non-functioning board be returned to Acromag for repair. The board can be
easily damaged unless special SMT repair and service tools are used. Further, Acromag has
automated test equipment that thoroughly checks the performance of each board. When a board is
first produced and when any repair is made, it is tested, placed in a burn-in room at an elevated
temperature, and retested before shipment.
Please refer to Acromag’s Service Policy Bulletin or contact Acromag for complete details on how
to obtain parts and repair.
3.1 PRELIMINARY SERVICE PROCEDURE
Before beginning repair, be sure that all of the procedures in Section 2, Preparation For Use,
have been followed. Also, refer to the documentation of your carrier/CPU board to verify that it is
correctly configured. Replacement of the board with one that is known to work correctly is a good
technique to isolate a faulty board. Use the unmodified example we provide.
CAUTION: POWER MUST BE TURNED OFF BEFORE REMOVING OR INSERTING BOARDS
