CP380Preface
For your safety
Your new PEP product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary
to ensure the renown electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long fault-free
life. However, the life expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by improper treat-
ment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interests of your own safety and of
the correct operation of your new PEP product, you are requested to conform with the follow-
ing guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
$Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for opera-
tional purposes, unless it is otherwise protected.
$Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations.
Where safe work stations are not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electri-
cally discharged before touching the product with his/her hands or tools. This is most
easily done by touching a metal part of your system housing.
$It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing
piggybacks, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC
or memory back-up, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, includ-
ing anti-static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batter-
ies or tracks on the board.
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently
skilled personnel only.
Caution!
However, serious electrical shock hazards exist during all installa-
tion, repair and maintenance operations with this product. There-
fore, always unplug the power cable to avoid exposure to
hazardous voltage.
Before installing your new PEP product into a system always
ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to
the installation of piggybacks.
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static
electricity. Therefore, care must be taken during all handling oper-
ations and inspections of this product, in order to ensure product
integrity at all times.

General Instructions on Usage
$In order to maintain PEP’s product warranty, this product must not be altered or modi-
fied in any way. Changes or modifications to the device, which are not explicitly
approved by PEP Modular Computers and described in this manual or received from
PEP Technical Support as a special handling instruction, will void your warranty.
$This device should only be installed in or connected to systems that fulfill all necessary
technical and specific environmental requirements. This applies also to the operational
temperature range of the specific board version, which must not be exceeded. If batter-
ies are present, their temperature restrictions must be taken into account.
$In performing all necessary installation and application operations, please, follow only
the instructions supplied by the present manual.
$Keep all the original packaging material for future storage or warranty shipments. If it is
necessary to store or ship the board please re-pack it as nearly as possible in the man-
ner in which it was delivered.
$Special care is necessary when handling or unpacking the product. Please, consult the
special handling and unpacking instruction on the previous page of this manual.

1. Introduction
1.1 System Overview
The PEP Modular Computers CompactPCI systems described in this chapter operate
with the PCI bus architecture to support additional I/O and memory-mapped devices as
required by various industrial applications. In the following you will find the most impor-
tant information on all system relevant CompactPCI features. For more detailed infor-
mation concerning the CompactPCI standard, please consult the complete Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI) and CompactPCI Specifications. For further information
regarding these standards and their use, visit the homepage of the PCI Industrial Com-
puter Manufacturers Group (PICMG).
1.1.1 Note on CompactPCI
CompactPCI is an extension of the PCI specification. It has been optimized for industrial
and embedded applications that require a more robust mechanical form factor as com-
pared to Desktop PCI. CompactPCI systems use industry standard mechanical compo-
nents and high performance connector technologies to provide systems that are well
suited for rugged applications. CompactPCI stands for systems that are electrically
compatible with the PCI Specification, allowing low cost PCI components to be used.
CompactPCI is an open specification supported by PICMG.
1.1.2 Main Features of CompactPCI Systems
Some of the outstanding features of the CompactPCI systems compliant with Specifica-
tion 2.0, Release 2.1 are:
•PCI signalling
•32 and 64 bit data transfer at 33 MHz
•up to 8 PCI slots per backplane
•industry standard software support
•3U small form factor (100 mm by 160 mm)
•6U form factor (233 mm by 160 mm)
•Eurocard packaging
•wide variety of available I/O functions
•industry support from over 350 members.
•possibility of PMC modules on some boards
PEP Advantage
PEP Modular Computers’ CompactPCI systems are designed as
open systems, able to be expanded at any time, so that their back-
planes can be equipped with precisely the CPCI boards that corre-
spond to a customer’s specific needs. However, in order to supply
you with an appropriate choice of workstations, the PEP basic
equipment is divided into pre-configured sets and custom solutions.

1.3 CP380 Models
The CP380 board family includes electrically isolated digital I/O boards for the Compact-
PCI System bus.
The electrical isolation on the boards prevents interference and high voltages (e.g. volt-
age peaks on the ground lines) from reaching the PC electronics. The inputs have been
designed for the usual voltage, typically 24V.
On the CP380-I and CP380-I/O there are 2 modes of operation: with or without interrupt
control. The interrupt channel and base address are configured by the BIOS.
The software supplied with the board allows quick and easy installation of the board into
data acquisition and control applications. PEP support is provided for Windows NT,
HPVEE (Hewlett-Packard) and LabVIEW™ (National Instruments) (drivers are avail-
able on disk).
1.4 System Requirements
All the CP380 versions are designed for installation into CompactPCI systems only (e.g.
the CP-ASM 3,4,6,7, Tower 3).
Table 1-1: Models in the CP380 Range
Model Opto-Isolated Inputs Opto-Isolated Outputs
CP380-I 18, typical voltage 24V. Two of the
inputs can be used as interrupt chan-
nels (i.e. 16 inputs and 2 strobes)
---
CP380-O --- 16, typical voltage 24V; defined lev-
els at power- up and power-down
CP380-I/O 10, typical voltage, 24 V. One input
can be used as an interrupt channel,
but then only the 8 inputs of data port
B are available (i.e. 8 inputs and 1
strobe).

1.7 GeneralNotes
1.7.1 Modes of Operation
The CP380 uses an 8255 compatible PIO device. The operational modes of the device
are described in the following chapters. For further information on the 8255 device con-
sult the manufacturer’s data sheet.
1.7.1.1 CP380-I
The CP 380-I uses 2 operational modes of the 8255 device which are configured by
software.
Operation without Interrupt: 18 digital inputs
In this operation mode data input can be performed. The data is read in from the chosen
port and no handshaking is required. By configuring the 8255 PIO device for mode 0
operation, two ports (port A and B, both 8 bits wide) and one port (PC2 and PC4, 2 bits
wide) are available for data input.
!
Important!:
The external connections to the board should only be made in a
powered down state.
