Introduction 1
PCIe-8560 PXI-8565
User’s Manual
1 Introduction
This chapter introduces the PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit,
presents a general overview and basic applications, its package
contents, specifications, and features.
1.1 Overview
Harnessing the bandwidth potential of PCI Express®, the PCI
Express-to-PXI Extension Kit enables computers with a PCI
Express®slot to remotely manage and control PXI™ devices up to
seven meters away, using the high-speed PCI Express®interface.
These extension systems operate in 32-bit/33 MHz configuration
and come with complete end-to-end hardware and software trans-
parency for the host system. Hardware devices installed in the
extension system behave and work as if they are directly installed
into the host system, requiring no additional drivers or software
installation.
The host system may be separated from the extension system at
up to seven meters using high-quality shielded twisted copper
cables. The robust and reliable PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit
is suited for portable test and measurement applications with high-
density I/O requirement and in hazardous industrial control and
automation environments.
1.1.1 Controlling PXI™ with PCI Express®
Based on PCI Express®technology, the PCI Express-to-PXI
Extension Kit provides bus expansion capability through its high-
speed differential signal interface. The PCI Express-to-PXI Exten-
sion Kit uses a signal equalizer and a PCI Express-to-PCI bridge.
With ADLINK’s PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit, users can utilize
an available PCI Express®slot to control an external PXI™ chas-
sis. Because the PCI Express®bridge is transparent, there is no
need to install any additional software when using PXI™ devices
in the external chassis.

2 Introduction
PCIe-8560 PXI-8565
User’s Manual
The PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit implements a PCI Express-
based control of PXI™ modules. The technology consists of a
PCIe-8560 card installed in a host computer, a shielded cable, and
a PXI-8565 card installed in the remote PXI™ chassis. The PCIe-
8560 comes in a PCI Express®x1 footprint and communicates
with the PXI-8565 via a twisted and shielded cable. The PXI-8565
converts the PCI Express®interface into a PCI interface for addi-
tional PXI™ slots in the extension system.
The link between host PC and the external chassis is a PCI
Express®X1 link that represents a dual-simplex communications
channel consisting of two, low-voltage differentially driven signal
pairs. The signaling rate can reach up to 2.5 Gbps in each direc-
tion. Using a shielded and twisted cable, the maximum extension
distance can be up to 7 M without decreasing signal rate.
