1Board Installation
1.1 Hardware Installation
Please make absolutely certain that all of the installation procedures
described below are carried out with your system switched off.
The PXI™- or CompactPCI™system is to be opened according to its
conditions. A free slot is to be selected in your system.
Now, the slot cover is to be taken away from the slot selected. To do
this, unscrew the two fixation screws and remove the cover from the
slot.
(If it is necessary to exchange extension boards, pay attention to the
general rules to avoid electrostatic charging.
The modules must never be removed or mounted with the power
switched on! Additionally, the right alignment is absolutely required.)
When installing the board, touch it at its edges only.
Never touch the surface of the board, because otherwise it may be
destroyed by electrostatic charges.
Insert the board carefully into the prepared slot. Use the lever at the
front plate in order to push in the board finally.
When the board has been inserted properly, it is to be fixed by means
of the two screws at the front plate. Now, the board has been
installed correctly.
Afterwards, carry out the operations required at the system to make it
ready for operation anew.

1.2 Driver Installation
Due to the plug and play capability of Windows®2000/ XP, for every
newly recognized hardware component a driver installation is started
automatically via the hardware assistant. The hardware assistant can
carry out the installation of the device driver by using the
inf file
contained on the enclosed CD.
It is not absolutely essential to restart the system.
At present, the available device driver only supports
Windows®2000/ XP systems.
If you want to create your own software for the boards, you possibly
need additional files for user specific programming (
*.LLB , *.H ).
These files are not automatically copied to the computer and have to
be transferred individually from the supplied CD to your development
directory.
The I/O base address is generated during the boot operation of the
system and is written into the configuration area of the board.
A manual setting is not necessary.
After driver installation, you can check whether the boards are
properly imbedded by the system.
The following figure show the successful imbedding of two PXI 3090
boards:

2.1 Definition
FlexRay controller boards PXI/ PCI 3090 are communication boards of
GOEPEL electronic GmbH.
These boards can be used in general control technology, especially for
applications in automotive technology.
A PXI/ PCI 3090 board in the maximum construction stage offers the
following resources:
♦2 Independent FlexRay nodes
♦2 Independent CAN nodes
♦2 x Digital Input
♦2 x Digital Output
In this User Manual, Controller ALWAYS means the microcontroller
assigned to a FlexRay interface (type Infineon TC1796, µC, 150 MHz
in Figure 2-3), with the exception of the “FlexRay Controller”
designation on the front panel for the entire board).

2.2 Technical Information
The PXI 3090 communication board is a plug-in board developed for
the PXI™bus (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation). Basis of this bus
is the CompactPCI™bus.
The board can be plugged into any desired slot of a CompactPCI™or
PXI™system (except for slot 1). It can be definitely identified also in
the case that several boards of this type are used in the same rack.
The board does not have jumpers for hardware detection and is
automatically integrated into the respective system.
The PCI 3090 communication board is a PC plug-in board for the PCI
Local Bus Rev. 2.2.
It can be operated at any PCI slot (32 bits, 33 MHz, 3.3 V)
Both boards do not have jumpers for hardware detection and are
automatically integrated into the respective system.
The dimensions of the board correspond to standard dimensions of
the accompanying bus system:
♦PXI 3090 FlexRay Interface Board: 160 mm x 100 mm (L x W)
♦PCI 3090 FlexRay Interface Board: 168 mm x 106 mm (L x W)
Symbol Parameter Min. Typ. Max. Unit Remarks
VBAT Battery voltage 12 30 V Acc. to transceiver’s type
Transmission rate FlexRay 10 MBaud
Transmission rate CAN 1 MBaud
Rbus Terminating resistors 120 Ohm
Vin Input voltage 3.0 5.5 V Digital input
Vout Output voltage 5 V Digital output

2.3 Construction
In the basis version, PXI 3090/ PCI 3090 boards have two FlexRay
interfaces, extendable by two CAN interfaces of version 2.0b.
Figure 2-3 shows schematically the construction of the PXI 3090
board in a block diagram.
An ASIC is used as the interface to the PCI or cPCI bus on the
PXI/ PCI 3090 boards. It includes all the function blocks required for the
communication with the computer bus.
The PCI 3090 communication board does not have a PXI interface.
To exchange trigger signals with other GOEPEL electronic PCI boards
despite of that, there is an additional connector on the board with
eight freely configurable lines (TriggerIO in Figure 2-5).
