Due to industrial needs to install PCI
cards into rugged Industrial PC’s like the
PIP, MPL developped two solutions allowing to expand the PIP-Family with half
size and short PCI cards!
The two PIPPCI solutions differ basically
in the mechanical construction and as
result of this, the size of the housing is
different.
The “WINTERGARDEN” expansion enlarges the PIP-case is in length and width.
Whereas the “LOFT” solution is foot print
optimized and the PIP-housing changes
only in height.
In both cases the PCI slots are connected
over a PCI-to-PCI bridge to the PIP’s PCI
interface. The necessary special expansion board, additionaly provides on board
power supplies for ±12V. Optional power
for +5V and +3.3V can also be generated on board from the PIP’s input voltage
(8…28V). This can be essential, depending on the power requirements of the added PCI cards. You even can mount additional PC/104-Plus and/or PC/104 cards
when the PIPPCI expansion is stacked
into the PIP!
The combination of a PIP and PIPPCI is a
complete, compact and clever solution for
industrial applications. It works under extreme as well as under normal conditions
without the need of fans. Additional the
standard PCI slots offer new possibilities
for an industrial PC that were only available for personal computers until now!
