CP384 Preface
For Your Safety
Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features
necessary to ensure its compliance with 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 treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interest of your own
safety and of the correct operation of your new Kontron product, you are requested to conform
with the following guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled
personnel only.
Caution, Electric Shock!
Before installing your new Kontron product into a system always
ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to the
installation of piggybacks.
Serious electrical shock hazards can exist during all installation,
repair and maintenance operations with this product. Therefore,
always unplug the power cable and any other cables which provide
external voltages before performing work.
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity. Therefore, care must be taken during all handling operations
and inspections of this product, in order to ensure product integrity at
all times.
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational

P R E L I M I N A R Y
RevNr. = CP384 - 31440_01 - 060503/144226
Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where
a safe work station is not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically 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
backup, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or conductive circuits
on the board.

1. Introduction
1.1 System Overview
The CompactPCI board described in this manual operates with the PCI bus architecture to support additional I/O and memory-mapped devices as required by various industrial applications.
For detailed information 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 home page of the PCI Industrial Comput-
er Manufacturers Group (PICMG).
Many system relevant CompactPCI features that are specific to Kontron Modular Computers
CompactPCI systems may be found described in the Kontron CompactPCI System Manual.

Introduction CP384
1.2 Product Overview
The CP384 Digital Input and Digital Output Controller is part of a comprehensive concept to
provide CompactPCI system integrators with a complete range of CompactPCI I/O products
which include the functions of analog input, analog output, digital input, and digital output implemented as separate individual boards. This concept ensures a maximum degree of system
design flexibility thus allowing efficient and effective usage of available resources.
As an enhancement to this concept, the CP384 combination board has been designed to implement digital input and digital output functions on one board. The CP384 is a 3U/4HP CompactPCI board which provides 24 channels that are organized into two separate clusters, one
cluster consisting of 16 channels for digital input, and one cluster consisting of 8 channels of
relay switched (SPDT) digital output.
The basic functions of this board are on the one hand to provide interfacing to the application
(process), perform D/D signal conversions, and to make raw digitized data available for further
processing via the 16 input channels, and on the other hand to provide a large number of automatically controlled, flexible digital outputs within a ruggedized board. The digital output cluster requires external input voltages (process side) for operation, both for the outputs as well as
the supply voltage for the relay coils.
The major components involved in these processes are the front end (process side) signal conditioning (digital input and digital output), the relays for the digital outputs, and the Digital Input
and Output Process and Communications (DIO ProComm) Controller which is realized in a
field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The DIO ProComm Controller is designed to provide
effective and efficient control of the digital input and output processes as well as interfacing to
the CPCI system controller.
