Versatile Platform shall void any liability or guarantee claims against ROHDE &
SCHWARZ GmbH & Co. KG.
EMC Suppression
EMC - Operating Instructions
The R&S CompactTSVP is a class-A device in keeping with CISPR 11 / EN 55011. It is
suitable for use in industrial environments and areas directly connected to a low-voltage power supply that (also) supplies residential buildings.
Due to occurring grid-bound as well as radiated disturbance variables there may be
problems to ensure the electromagnetic compatibility in other environments (living
quarters, for example).
USB and LAN (CAT5e) cables that are connected to the system controller must be
double-shielded cables. A simple shield suffices for all other cables.
Skilled Person
Skilled person is a term applied to persons who have training or experience in the
equipment technology, particularly in knowing the various energies and energy magnitudes used in the equipment.
Skilled persons are expected to use their training and experience to recognize energy
sources capable of causing pain or injury and to take action for protection from injury
from those energies. Skilled persons should also be protected against unintentional
contact or exposure to energy sources capable of causing injury.

Safety Instructions
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!
Before opening the case, the Test System Versatile Platform must be powered off and
isolated from the power supply!
The Test System Versatile Platform may only be opened by skilled person!
Also the rear side modules may only be exchanged by skilled person.
The appropriate regulations governing work carried out on electrical equipment must
be complied with.
The R&S TS-PCA3 must be isolated from the electrical supply before work commences.
Risk of electric shock
The fuse is part of the main power supply. Therefore, handling the fuse while power is
on can lead to electric shock. Before opening the fuse holder, make sure that the
instrument is switched off and disconnected from all power supplies.
Always use fuses supplied by Rohde & Schwarz as spare parts, or fuses of the same
type and rating.
Shock Hazard
The production test platforms R&S CompactTSVP and R&S PowerTSVP are designed
for operating voltages up to 125 V. When working with high voltages, this voltage can
apply to the analog bus connector X2. Therefore, the cable TS-PK01 must be always
connected on both sides with the test systems R&S CompactTSVP and R&S PowerTSVP.
Only the cable TS-PK01 1166.4147.02 is allowed to be used with the analog bus connector X2.
Test applications using hazardous active voltages (above 30 V r.m.s and 42,4 V peak
or 60 V d.c) must be operated by a skilled person only. The appropriate regulations
governing work carried out on electrical equipment must be complied with.
The electrical equipment fitted to the R&S TS-PCA3 must be checked at regular intervals. Defects such as loose connections, scorched cables etc. must be rectified immediately.
The enclosed safety sheet must be complied with.

3 Description
3.1 Usage
3.1.1 General
Description
Usage
The Produktionstestplattform R&S TS-PCA3 is a standardized modular platform for
the program-controlled testing of modules and terminals in the factory or laboratory.
With its flexible configuration and the use of worldwide standards, it can be perfectly
adapted to suit the needs of the user.
Larger ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) systems can be created by combining R&S
TS-PCA3 and PowerTSVP (TS-PWA3). The production test platform is intended for
use with a control processor which performs the test on the test devices by means of
peripheral modules. This control processor is known as the system controller and
should preferably be in the R&S TS-PCA3. However a standard PC can also be used
running across a suitable interface with the controller. The system controller executes
user-created sequences that define the test procedures and specification limits.
The modules plugged into the R&S TS-PCA3 can be used for the creation of test and
control signals and for the measuring related evaluation of the response from the UUT.
For this purpose they are able to pass signals between each other and select signals
under program control and pass them to external measuring systems.
The peripheral modules can be quickly and flexibly adapted to the test devices by preceding the R&S TS-PCA3 with an adapter frame which connects the signals securely
and with a low rate of wear.
If the production test requires switching functions with a large number of channels or
the switching of high currents, then the R&S TS-PCA3 can be supplemented by a R&S
TS-PWA3. The R&S TS-PWA3 is controlled via the CAN-Bus of the R&S TS-PCA3 by
the system controller.
3.1.2 Explanation of Terms
The following terms and standards are used in this manual:
CompactPCI (abbreviated to “cPCI” in this document) is an open standard of the
PICMG (PCI Industrial Manufacturers Group) that adapts the PCI standard for industrial applications. It uses high-grade connection techniques and mechanical components, and applies the same electrical specifications as the PCI standard. This makes
it possible to use inexpensive components and existing PCI developments even under
industrial conditions. Other features include a high integration density, the option of a
19" installation and shielding for the plug-in modules. Its definition as an open standard
means that a large, worldwide variety of cards is available.
14User Manual 1152.3908.12 ─ 19
Page 17
R&S®TS-PCA3
Description
Usage
PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) is a standard defined by National Instruments
which expands the CompactPCI, using its mechanical specifications and the connection with the system controller. The PXI standard is fully compatible and also defines a
number of additional signals which are useful for measuring applications, such as the
PXI Triggerbus.
PCI-PCI bridges are used to connect a number of cPCI or PXI segments, thereby
increasing the number of peripheral slots in cPCI or PXI systems.
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial bus system whose high system and configuration flexibility is achieved by a content-oriented addressing scheme, i.e. it defines socalled “message identifiers“ and not device addresses. Systems can be added to an
existing network without the need for hardware or software modifications. The CAN
protocol is defined in ISO 11898.
Rear I/O is the name given to a design that allows input and output lines of the cPCI
connectors P1 and P2 to be accessed from the rear of a backplane. Pluggable Rear
I/O modules can be used for this purpose in the R&S TS-PCA3 and the R&S TSPWA3.
3.1.3 System Information
The R&S TS-PCA3 has a modular structure that allows a range of system configurations tailored to the specific needs of the user.
Up to 13 cPCI/PXI modules can be fitted in addition to the system controller (slot 1). A
further slot (slot 16) is provided for special R&S plug-in modules (without J1 connector). Slots A3, A4 are fitted with a PSU as standard. An optional R&S TS-PCPA power
pack or the optional R&S TS-PXB2 backplane extension can be plugged into slots A1
and A2. Slots 1 to 16 provide access to the analog bus. The CAN bus is available at
slots 5 to 16 (starting with backplane version V4.x in slots 3 and 4 as well). If an
optional R&S TS-PXB2 is used, the CAN bus is also available at slots A1 and A2.
There is space for rear I/O modules in the rear section of the R&S TS-PCA3.
The configuration of the R&S TS-PCA3 is shown in Figure 3-1.

The backplane fulfils the Hot-Swap capability according to Standard PICMG 2.1 Rev.
2.0 for the exchange of measuring and control cards during operation. The 32 bit area
conforms to PICMG 2.0 Rev. 3.0. It should be noted that ROHDE & SCHWARZ
TSVP modules (R&S TS-XXX) are not capable of hot swapping.
Connector X0 (P47) serves as a power interface for a cPCI standard PSU. An additional PSU can be plugged onto an optional power backplane, in which case the connection with the cPCI backplane is made with an ATX power supply cable.
Slots 1 to 8 are the first bus segment. Slots 9 to 15 form the second bus segment that
is connected to the first with a PCI-PCI bridge. Slot 15 with its rear exit for the P1 signals is designed to control the system module.
The Rear I/O conforms to IEEE 1101.11-1998. The P20 connectors at slots 3 and 4 are
manufactured to cPCI standard, 32 bit with Rear I/O. Voltages up to 125 VDC can be
applied at pins provided in the Rear I/O area.
Signals PXI_TRIG0 ... 7 and PXI_CLK10 according to standard PXI R2.0 are available
at the P20 connections in slots 5 to 16.
Local bus
The PXI local bus is not implemented. If necessary, wiring can be created between
adjacent slots by plugging in a customer-specific connection board (plugged into the
backplane).
CAN-Bus
The CAN bus *[1] is integrated as a further system bus in addition to the IPMB0 (slots
3 to 14) according to System Management Specification PICMG 2.9 R1.0, and is available at slots 5 to 16 (starting with backplane version V4.x in slots 3 and 4 as well). Signals CAN_L and CAN_H can be terminated at the bus end with a jumper and 120 Ohm
resistor ( Figure 3-9 ). Alternatively the bus can be extended externally with an X80
expansion connector.
* [1] to standard CAN 2.0b (1Mbit)
If the optional R&S TS-PXB2 backplane extension is used, the CAN bus is also available at slots A1 and A2. The R&S TS-PXB2 is connected to the main backplane via
X80. The use of the backplane extension does not change the termination principle.

In the old design V1.0 - V3.0, the CAN bus is bussed directly, guided via PXI local bus
lines LBL10 and LBL11. In the most unfavorable case, this resulted in conflicts with
other PXI modules that were using the lines in a different way.
In the new design V4.0, the CAN bus is switched by PSYS1 to Slot15 and is directed to
the other slots 3-14. The two signals are only switched by PhotoMOS relays on the
backplane to the pins of a slot if a CAN module is detected in that slot. In that case the
switch behaves like an isolating relay and does not affect the signals of the LBxx. It is
able to isolate voltages up to ±60 V DC.
PCI slots 3 + 4 now have this switch in the backplane and are thus CAN-capable. The
CAN bus is continuously connected on slots 15 + 16 and (optional) on A1 +A2 without
switching.
A 330-Ohm pull-up resistor between P2/D18 and +5 V on each module is responsible
for detecting a CAN module and activating the CAN bus. Normal cPCI or PXI modules
according to specification apply this pin to GND or leave it open. This ensures the CAN
bus is never in conflict with analogue voltages of the local bus.
Figure 3-10: Wiring CAN bus
External additional signals (AUX)
Two additional external signals (for example power supply voltages) can be fed into a
module via J20 on slots 5 through 16. The signals can be fed in the area of the CPCI
power pack by the CPCI power supply, an internal AC/DC module or another external

+5-V and +12-V lines from the P47 connector are routed on the screw bolts above slot
4. This makes it easy to connect AUX1 with +5 V and AUX2 with +12 V via current rail
or cable (see Figure 3-11).
Figure 3-11: Mountable Threaded Studs on the cPCI Backplane
The AUX pins assigned to slots 5 - 16 make it possible to direct two voltages from the
current rail on the upper backplane if a screw there connects the backplane signals
with the current rail. Currently in backplanes V1.1 through V3.0 two pins are hard connected to carry a higher current.
This is changed in backplane V4.0 so the two pins are not connected in normal state.
One pin (for example AUX1L) on the solder side is directed to the current rail and one
pin (AUX1R) on the module side is directed to the current rail as well. The connection
is not made until a screw with a nut is screwed in and connects the current rail and the
two copper rings in the layout. It may be preferably to insert a toothed washer to
ensure better contact.
Functionally this is no different than the previous version. The PXI specification is
observed except for the lack of a local bus daisy chain. Full current must not be drawn
unless the two pins are connected in parallel.

3.3.3.2 Analog Bus Backplane
Description
Construction
Figure 3-12: Connecting the current rail to AUX signals
To simplify cabling, the R&S TS-PCA3 contains an analog bus with 8 signals. The analog bus backplane is located in the front above the cPCI backplane. A special layout
meets the need for high crosstalk damping and low capacitance of the signal lines to
GND.
The C module (2 mm connector system) is used as the connectors (X1...X16). Plug-in
modules with no analog bus connector access the analog bus via a 26-pin connector
(X22) and R&S switch modules. Signals IL1_x and IL2_x (Instrument Line) are passed
from slots 5 to 16 to connector X22.
The analog bus signals pass from connector X21 to connector X2 at the back of the
R&S TS-PCA3 (see Chapter 4.4.2, "Connections at the Rear", on page 46). The electrical characteristics of the analog lines are:
●
Voltage 125 VDC max.
●
Current 1 A max.
Concept of the Analog Bus
Figure 3-13: Principle of the Analog Bus
The analog bus in the R&S TS-PCA3 connects I/O channels of different plug-in modules to each other. These I/O channels may be connections of instruments (measuring
and stimuli devices) and connections of the test device. Up to 8 signals can be connected simultaneously (see Figure 3-13).
25User Manual 1152.3908.12 ─ 19
Page 28
R&S®TS-PCA3
Description
Construction
The analog bus can be used flexibly with the ROHDE & SCHWARZ- specific plug-in
modules. 8 equivalent lines are basically available (ABa1, ABa2, ABb1, ABb2, ABc1,
ABc2, ABd1, ABd2). External instruments are usually connected to the R&S TS-PCA3
with a rear I/O connection. The signals for the test device are made available at the
front-end connector of the various plug-in modules on the R&S TS-PCA3.
The analog bus can be used in different ways:
●
as 1 bus with 8 lines
●
in 2 part-buses with 4 lines each
The split of the analog bus into part-buses depends on the plug-in modules which are
used.
The analog bus concept of the R&S TS-PCA3 fully meets the requirements that are
frequently made in metrology:
●
A small number of bus lines for a high number of I/O channels (e.g. In-Circuit-Test
with 3 to 6 bus lines.)
●
As many signals as possible simultaneously for a moderate number of I/O channels (e.g. function test with 8 lines of 50 to 100 I/O channels).
●
Parallel test with split analog bus.
Line paths or higher-frequency signals are usually connected locally by special switching modules and not via the analog bus.
Typical Use of the Analog Bus
The use of the analog bus and individual bus lines is illustrated with available R&S
modules and standard modules (see Figure 3-14).

3.3.3.3 Power Backplane
3.3.3.4 Backplane Extension R&S TS-PXB2 (Option)
Description
Construction
The use of a second cPCI PSU in slots A1, A2 requires the optional Power Backplane
(conforms to standard PICMG 2.0). From the Power Backplane, a cable with three connectors leads to a 24-pin ATX connector on the cPCI backplane. The three connectors
are as follows (see also Chapter 8, "Interface Description", on page 58 Interface
Description):
●
X12, 20-pin
●
X13, 10-pin
●
X16, 4-pin
The second PSU can be used to boost the power of the standard PSU when connected in parallel. Alternatively it can be used to supply the device on test.
The R&S TS-PXB2 option expands the Test System Versatile Platform R&S TS-PCA3
by 2 CAN bus slots (A1 and A2). It can be integrated ex works only.
The two slots are intended for the R&S TS-PIO3B or R&S TS-PTR options. The R&S
TS-PIO3B is an 8-channel, 8-bit Open Collector Digital I/O card with additional functions.
The R&S TS-PTR is a passive feedthrough circuit board. It can be used to feed as
many as 24 signals through the device.
Ports 5, 6 and 7 of the R&S TS-PIO3B in slot A1 are routed to connector X1 on the
rear panel.
Ports 5, 6 and 7 of the R&S TS-PIO3B in slot A2 are available on connector DIO on the
rear I/O slot A4.
In addition, the system CAN bus is available at the CAN connector on the rear I/O slot
A4.
The option R&S TS-PXB2 cannot be used together with the power backplane. The
jumpers and the assignment of the connectors in the rear I/O area are described in
Chapter 3.6, "Permitted Module Configuration", on page 39.
3.3.4 Ground Concept
An electrically conductive CHA-GND (chassis GND) pad in the mounting area on the
cPCI backplane provides an impedance grounding to the chassis. Screw connections
and a busbar on the cPCI backplane are used to make a low-resistance connection for
GND and CHA-GND, while a star connection between GND and CHA-GND using a
busbar prevents unwanted ground loops.
A capacitor creates the HF connection between GND and CHA-GND at each slot. A 1
MΩ resistor discharges the capacitors and dissipates static.
A 3-pin connector provides the 230 VAC supply for the cPCI PSU on the cPCI backplane (at X0).

Page 30
R&S®TS-PCA3
Description
Construction
The optional power backplane is supplied with AC voltage parallel to the cPCI backplane.
The PE conductor must be bonded to the case with a grounding cable.
The GND signal of the analog bus backplane is connected by a cable and screw terminal to the GND on the cPCI backplane. This prevents the large induction loops that
would occur if a return via chassis were to be used.
The ground screen of the analog bus between two basic frames is connected to CHAGND (chassis).
An alternative screen can also be made with GND, but the first option offers better
screening performance.
In the second frame, CHA-GND must not be connected to GND to prevent ground
loops. The connections are indicated in Figure 3-15.
GND sense of +5 V and +3.3 V (of the second PSU as well) are connected to GND at
the grounding star point.

Geographical Addressing of the Slots with GA0 ... 1
The physical slot addresses are coded by the signals GA0 ... GA4 of the P20 connector (see the cPCI specification). These signals are either connected to GND or remain
open. In order to distinguish two interconnected frames, GA4 is defined by Jumper 1.
The jumper is closed for the first frame (see jumper field in Chapter 8, "Interface
Description", on page 58).
The coding for slot recognition is carried out with GA0 ... GA3 as follows:

3.3.6 CAN Bus
For controlling of some R&S modules, the CAN bus is used in TS-PCA3 and TSPWA3. The CAN bus numbering results from the following scheme:
CANu::v::w::x
u = Board Number
v = Controller Number
w = Device Number
x = Slot Number
Board Number and Controller Number are always 0. The Device Number of the frame
is determined by the settings of the jumpers on the backplane (see Chapter 3.3.7,
"Configurations with several Frames or Option R&S TS-PXB2", on page 30). For
Rear-I/O modules like R&S TS-PSYS1 and R&S TS-PSYS2, a 4 has to be added to
the Device Number.

modules R&S TS-PSYS1 and R&S TS-PSYS2 have to be left open.
According to Chapter 3.3.5, "Geographical Addressing of the Slots with GA0 ... 1",
on page 28, the jumpers for device addressing must be set as follows:
TS-PCA3: J1 set -> Device 1
TS-PWA3: J1 not set, J2 set -> Device 2

The optional R&S TS-PXB2 backplane extension also uses the CAN bus. For the modules plugged there (only R&S TS-PIO3B or R&S TS-PTR permitted), GA4 and GA5
can also be configured via jumpers. For this reason, the optional R&S TS-PXB2 backplane extension behaves like a complete device for the purpose of the CAN bus.
Table 3-8 is applicable to the optional R&S TS-PXB2 backplane extension:
Table 3-8: Device Addressing for R&S TS-PXB2

If the optional R&S TS-PXB2 backplane extension is used in the R&S TS-PWA3, X10
(GA5) can remain set and X11 (GA4) can be plugged in the same way as on the main
backplane. In this way, the addressing range of the CAN bus is expanded to slot codes
0000 (slot A1) and 0001 (slot A2).
If the optional R&S TS-PXB2 backplane extension is used in the R&S TS-PWA3, the
R&S TS-PXB2 must be configured as a new "device" to prevent addressing collisions
with slots 1 and 2.
3.3.8 Switching the PSU
Signal PS-ON is used to switch the PSU outputs on and off. This is done by removing
Jumper 2 (see jumper field in Section 8) and replacing it by an external switch. Signal
PS-ON is available at expansion connector X80.
3.3.9 System Controller
Operating the R&S TS-PCA3 requires the use of a system controller. This is fitted to
slot 1. The R&S TS-PCA3 allows the use of standard cPCI or PXI system controllers.
Alternatively an external PC can be used, and suitable PCI-to-cPCI interfaces are
available.

Description
Construction
The line inlet and power switch are at the back of the CompactTSVP (see Figure 3-3).
The R&S TS-PCA3 features a powerful cooling concept.
The slots at the front (optional in the Rear I/O area) are cooled by a vertical flow of air.
The four fans are located above the slots and are connected by inline contact connectors to the backplane. The fan speed is regulated by the internal temperature.
For the rear I/O area, fans can be retrofitted through the R&S TS-RFAN option. The
supply voltage for this fan unit is tapped at the +12 V studs (Figure 3-11) and earth
(sheet metal flashing).
The R&S TS-RFAN fan unit is especially required if
●
for lack of space, slots cannot remain free between modules with DC/DC converter
module R&S TS-PDC in the rear IO area, or
●
the R&S TS-PCA3 is not operated in normal horizontal standard position.
Heat generation
Adequate space for air inlet and outlet should be allowed when the case is rack mounted, with at least half a height unit (22 mm) being left above and below the chassis!
For desktop mounting, ensure that the case is not covered over!
3.3.12 Option R&S TS-PK04
If the optional R&S TS-PK04 (1157.9104.02) cable set has been installed in the chassis, some channels of suitable switch modules (R&S TS-PSM1, R&S TS-PSM3, R&S
TS-PSM4 und R&S TS-PSM5) will be made accessible via the connectors X3 and X4
on the rear side of the chassis. For this purpose, the switch module must be installed in
slot 16.

PXI Trigger
The input/output of trigger signals (X20) is controlled separately for each signal. On the
output side the signals are terminated by pullup resistors and protected by self-healing
fuses and d.c. clamp diodes. The external trigger lines are available at connector X30.
Floating Outputs
4 PhotoMos relays (with internal current limiter) are triggered by a µC port. The signals
are available at connector X30.
Floating Inputs
A µC port reads the status of 4 optocoupler inputs (2 x 2-pin). The current at the inputs
is limited so that inputs signals can be fed in unconditioned within a wide voltage
range. These inputs are available at connector X30.
Output Voltages
Two voltage regulators with output-enable control generate switchable, short-circuit
proof voltages at X30. These voltages can be used to supply external components
(e.g. signal lamps).
Dependent on variant, the following voltages are provided:

A local quartz crystal generates the 10 MHz system clock for the system (PXI_CLK10).
Alternatively a very accurate reference clock can be fed in across X30. Jumper JP2 is
used to select an internal or external clock source. The jumper functions are shown in
Chapter 8.4, "Interfaces of the R&S TS-PSYS1", on page 75.
A number of signal lines are looped from connector X30 to connector X20. These are

●
RSCAN
●
RSPSYS
The CAN2-bus can be used for the customer specific implementations with help of the
RSCAN functions.
The module R&S TS-PSYS1 has no built-in self-test capability. The function of the
internal CAN bus can be checked with the local CAN node.
3.5 Function Description
The functionality of the R&S TS-PCA3 depends essentially on the installed plug-in
modules and the related software. The R&S TS-PCA3 is basically suitable for all types
of production tests.
An adapter interface can be flange-mounted to the front of the R&S TS-PCA3 for the
rapid and high-pole adaption of test devices (see Figure 3-4)
3.6 Permitted Module Configuration
Because of the different properties of plug-in modules, there are restrictions on the use
of plug-in slots.
Figure 3-21 and Figure 3-22 shows an overview of which modules can be operated in
which plug-in slots.

Risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to the electronic components of the
instrument and the device under test (DUT). ESD is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a DUT or test fixture to the instrument's test ports.
To prevent ESD, use a wrist strap and cord and connect yourself to the ground, or use
a conductive floor mat and heel strap combination.
4.3.2 Compatibility
The following plug-in modules can be used in the CompactTSVP:
●
32 bit standard cPCI system controller in slot 1
●
all 32 bit standard cPCI modules (without J2 connector).
●
all 32 bit standard cPCI modules (with/without Rear I/O and J2 connector) in slot 3
and 4.
●
all 32 bit PXI modules in slots 5 to 14. At slot 15 the signal compatibility should be
checked against the interface description (see Section 8), as only parts of the PXI
concepts are supported (see Section 3/3/03.1).
●
all new ROHDE & SCHWARZ- specific cPCI modules with cPCI interface (with J1
connector) in slots 5 to 15.
●
ROHDE & SCHWARZ- plug-in module only with J20 connectors in slots 5 to 16
(CAN module)
Star Trigger and the local bus of the PXI specification are not supported.

R&S®TS-PCA3
Commissioning
Installation
●
Run down and power off the R&S TS-PCA3.
●
Select a suitable slot (see Chapter 4.3.2, "Compatibility", on page 44).
●
Remove the appropriate front panel by slackening off the screws.
Damaged backplane due to bent pins
Bent pins may result in permanent damage to the backplane.
Check the backplane connector for bent pins!
Any pins that are bent must be straightened!
When module is connected, it must be guided with both hands and carefully pressed
into the backplane connector.
●
Push in the plug-in module using moderate pressure
●
The top snap pin on the module must locate in the right-hand and the bottom pin in
the left-hand hole on the TSVP chassis
●
The module is correctly located when a distinct 'stop' can be felt
When short and long modules are mounted into adjacent slots, the front panel of the
short module may cause short circuits on the long module, so please ensure adequate
clearance!
●
Tighten the top and bottom screws on the front panel of the plug-in module
Please observe the following instructions for installation of a Rear I/O module:
●
Rear I/O modules (for example R&S TS-PDC) must be inserted with extra caution,
making certain the connector is correctly guided into the socket opening in the
backplane. It must not be inserted at an angle or with incorrect alignment, etc. The
short circuit board guides alone do not ensure absolutely reliable guiding.
●
Multiple adjacent R&S TS-PDC modules should be inserted in order "from left to
right" and removed in the opposite order. Because the spaces are so narrow, care
must be taken not to damage any components on the solder side of the module.
4.3.4 Driver Installation
The drivers for R&S modules will be installed together with the R&S GTSL software.
The installation procedure is described in the manual Software Description GTSL.

4.5 Cabling
4.5.1 Concept
The Produktionstestplattform R&S TS-PCA3 offers comprehensive opportunities for
inner, internal and external cabling:
●
Inner cabling: Cabling by bus systems permanently installed in the R&S TSPCA3.
– PXI Trigger Bus
– CAN Bus
– Analog bus on separate backplane
●
Internal cabling: Cabling inside the case of the R&S TS-PCA3. Here, plug-in modules are connected with connectors used in the R&S TS-PCA3 case:
– Cabling of the analog bus
– Cabling of cPCI/PXI modules to the adapter interface
– Cabling of cPCI/PXI modules to rear connectors
– Cabling of special cPCI/PXI modules to each other

7 = Cross-wiring of short cPCI modules to each other at the front
These various cabling options provide a number of benefits:
●
Separating the adapter side (front) from the infeed of external devices (rear) creates a clear signal concept with no cross-wiring outside the case.
●
Wiring is kept safe from inadvertent changes.
●
The simple inner cabling concept means that modules can be quickly replaced during servicing. Bus connections are used instead of cable connections.

4.5.2 Analog Bus
Commissioning
Cabling
●
System-specific connectors (e.g. D-sub) can be installed at the rear, from where
signals are connected to the analog bus or the adapter interface. HF signals can
also be carried in this way because there is ample space for suitable connectors.
The analog bus is available at all slots of the R&S TS-PCA3 with its own backplane.
Access for plug-in modules is implemented by connectors X1 ... X16 at the various
slots and is described in Chapter 3.3, "Construction", on page 18. The following are
available
●
8 bus-structured lines for user-defined signal paths up to max. 125 VDC (1 A)
between ROHDE & SCHWARZ- specific plug-in modules.
Only the Rohde & Schwarz plug-in modules use the analog bus directly. However
external access to the analog bus is possible using the analog bus connector at the
back of the unit.
Connections via the analog bus are used by matrix and relay modules. Signal injection
is generally software controlled.
4.5.3 PXI Trigger Bus
Plug-in modules can be synchronized with the PXI trigger bus. The external output of
the signals is provided by the system module.
The following signals are available
●
Trigger bus with 8 lines (PXI_TRIG0 ...7)
4.5.4 Internal Cabling of Short cPCI Modules
Either short or long plug-in modules can be fitted to the front of the R&S TS-PCA3. The
long modules (manufacturer: ROHDE & SCHWARZ) use the entire space between the
backplane and the adapter interface and finish flush with the R&S TS-PCA3 front. The
short modules leave space for wiring free up to the front panel.
The wiring space can be used as follows:
●
Cabling between short cPCI modules
●
Adapting the signals of a short cPCI module to the standard connector of the
adapter interface (e.g. a DIN rail) in the same slot. This can be done using either
loose wiring or an adapter board.
●
Transition cables or plugs from short cPCI plug-in modules with unsuitable plugs to
interfaces suitable for testing.
Figure 4-4 shows the adaption of a short PXI module to the DIN rail of the adapter
interface using loose wiring.

4.5.5 External Cabling
External cabling is used to connect measuring and stimuli devices as well as the UUT
to the R&S TS-PCA3.
Implementing the following concept should ensure the clarity of external cabling
design:
●
The cabling to UUT is at the front of the R&S TS-PCA3.
The UUT adapter is located here; an adapter interface can also be flange mounted
if required.
●
The cabling to measuring and stimuli devices is at the rear of the TSVP.
System and user-specific terminals and plug and socket connectors can be fitted in
the back for this purpose (see Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2).
This concept ensures a high degree of clarity, rapid adaption to different test tasks and
allows the simple replacement of plug-in modules.

The R&S TS-PCA3 does not have any controls - all operation is performed by the software.
Please refer to the appropriate documentation for details of software operation.
The R&S TS-PCA3 is powered on and off with the power switch at the rear.
When the R&S TS-PCA3 is powered up and before the software is launched, the PCI
segments built into the TSVP are initialized with their links and plug-in modules. This
task is performed by the BIOS on the system controller.
5.3 Self-Test
As part of the TSVP self test, an extensive test of the module is performed and an
exhaustive protocol generated. This is done with the "Self-Test Support Library".
The R&S TS-PSAM module is used as a measurement unit in the TSVP self-test. The
functionality of the modules in the system is ensured by measurements via the analog
measurement bus.
For information on starting the self-test and the order of the work steps required as well
as for a detailed description of the tested parameters and procedures, refer to the Ser-
vice Manual R&S CompactTSVP / R&S PowerTSVP.

6.3 Fuse Replacement
Maintenance
Fuse Replacement
The power supply to the R&S TS-PCA3 is protected by fuses. These are located in the
built-in plug at the rear of the R&S TS-PCA3.
Figure 6-1: R&S TS-PCA3 Rear View
1 = Built-in plug with fuses (2 x IEC 127-T6.3H/250V)
A blown fuse is replaced as follows:
1. Power off the R&S TS-PCA3.
2. Isolate the R&S TS-PCA3 from the power supply (built-in plug).
3. Remove the fuseholder from the built-in plug.
4. Replace the blown fuses.
You should identify the cause of the problem and rectify it before replacing the fuse.
You may be able to tell a blown fuse just by looking at it. In case of doubt, test the fuse
with a multimeter.
Risk of electric shock
The fuse is part of the main power supply. Therefore, handling the fuse while power is
on can lead to electric shock. Before opening the fuse holder, make sure that the
instrument is switched off and disconnected from all power supplies.
Always use fuses supplied by Rohde & Schwarz as spare parts, or fuses of the same
type and rating.
Fuses are fitted in reverse order of removal.

With adapters, remember that the count sequence at connectors P1 and P20 on the
back of the cPCI backplane is the mirror image of the front.
The plug-in modules used in the R&S TS-PCA3 are described in separate documents.
●
When mixing short and long modules, if possible the shorter ones should be configured in the vicinity of the controller and the longer ones further to the right
●
Care must be taken to observe EMC regulations. Sufficient shielding can only be
achieved with sectional front plates and shield springs on the inner and outer fastening level. The two levels can be connected with option R&S TS-PSK1 (HF
shield wall kit). One slot is lost in this process.
●
If long cards are plugged in next to short ones, care must be taken to ensure the
sectional front plate of the short card cannot touch the lines of the adjacent module
(risk of short circuit).
●
The in-circuit measuring unit, consisting of R&S TS-PSAM and TS-PICT, should
preferably be connected to slots 8 and 9. This is the only way to achieve even residues.
●
To achieve even dissipation of heat, modules with R&S TS-PDC should not be fitted immediately next to each other if possible. This makes it easier to cool the R&S
TS-PDCs, which can become quite hot. The optionally available rear I/O fan unit
R&S TS-RFAN provides for enhanced cooling of the R&S TS-PDC and is required
especially when the installation position is not horizontal.
●
R&S TS-PSM1, R&S TS-PSM3, R&S TS-PSM4, and R&S TS-PSM5 should be
connected to slot 16 so that signals from the power plug can be better directed to
the back.
For this purpose, the optional cabling kit R&S TS-PK04 (No. 1157.9104.02) can be
used.
If an additional R&S TS-PSM1 or R&S TS-PSM4 is required, it should be connected to slot 15.
For more details, refer to the documentation of the individual modules.

Shock Hazard
The production test platforms R&S CompactTSVP and R&S PowerTSVP are designed
for operating voltages up to 125 V. When working with high voltages, this voltage can
apply to the analog bus connector X2. Therefore, the cable TS-PK01 must be always
connected on both sides with the test systems R&S CompactTSVP and R&S PowerTSVP.
Test applications using hazardous active voltages (above 30 V r.m.s and 42,4 V peak
or 60 V d.c) must be operated by a skilled person only. The appropriate regulations
governing work carried out on electrical equipment must be complied with.

V1.x Basic version; has some local bus connections, bussed 10-MHz clock.
V2.x
V2.1
V3.1
V4.0
Improved 10-MHz clocking (single driver), local bus connections isolated;
R&S TS-PSC0 can be used.
±12-V pins and some 5-V pins on front of X20 isolated because of incompatibility with some third-party modules.
Improved EMC. clocking, PSC4 undertone eliminated, ±12-V pins and some
5-V pins on the front of X20 eliminated as for V2.1; backplane has serial
number;
serial No. TS-PCA3 100063 and 100077 to 100108
Full compatibility with additional purchase modules for X20 by isolating ±12
V, +5 V front, on the rear no more ±12 V; +5 V on other non-critical pins on
the rear side; CAN bus can only be switched for CAN modules, external
modules can no longer block CAN bus on other slots; AUX signals isolated;
local bus pins completely free; slots 3 and 4 can also be used for CAN/R&S
TS-PMB V3;
starting at serial No. TS-PCA3 100109.
The results are related mostly to connector X20, which is designated as J2 or X20
depending on the standard or document.
A.1.2 Effects of the TS-PCA3 backplane redesign V4.0
A.1.2.1 Reason
Incompatibilities with some new PXI modules from third-party suppliers with PXI local
bus were eliminated.
Deviations from the PXI regulations for third-party modules as well as for the CompactTSVP presented a possibility for damage to third-part modules as well as a fault in
CAN communication between the modules CompactTSVP modules built into the
frame.

R&S®TS-PCA3
A.1.2.2 Steps taken
A.1.2.3 Effects
Appendix
R&S TS-PCA3 Backplane Versions
Since the CompactTSVP explicitly does not the PXI local bus and third-party modules
are only permitted to enable the outputs of the PXI local bus if support is provided, the
free pins were used in the old backplane versions for supply voltages (+5 V or ±12 V)
of intelligent rear/IO modules. Deviations of other manufacturers from guidelines resulting in a possibility of damage to third-party modules. A third-party module was also
able to block the CAN bus.
To eliminate the incompatibility described above, the backplane the pins used for the
local bus were completely isolated forward for all available PXI slots of the CompactTSVP. This will prevent any further damage from occurring to third-party modules
due to power supply voltages. To secure CAN communication of CompactTSVP modules, the CAN bus is now only activated on the PXI slots if a control signal (pull-up
resistor, 330 W) enables it on pin X20/D18 on the module.
General effects
Slot 1 and 2
●
Still no support for the PXI local bus
●
No more ±12-V voltage on connector X20
(for details see pin assignment)
●
No more +5-V voltage on the front of the X20
connector, only on the back
(for details see pin assignment)
●
The old R&S TS-PDC V1.0 (serial No.100000
to 100192) must be brought up to the level of
V1.1 manually to work with the new backplane
V4.0 by rewiring to V1.1 state, since the +5-V
power supply on the back of the backplane was
moved to another pin.
●
The AUX signals present on the backplane
were broken down into individual signals. Now
they can be used individually or in pairs to
increase current carrying capacity. When paired
connected AUX signals are used (AUX1L with
AUX1R and AUX2L with AUX2R), there is no
difference compared to older backplane versions. The connection can be made on the pins
of the interface and in connection with a screw
on the backplane with which the current rails
are applied to AUX.
●
CAN bus only enabled via pull-up on X20/D18.
●
Slot 1 and covered slot 2 are still suitable for
standard CPUs with RIO module. Conversion
of old CPUs because of color errors ("yellow
undertone" display) is no longer necessary.
●
A R&S TS-PSC0 (RIO module) can be used on
the back of slot 1; if it is, the computer on the
front must be removed.
Slot 3 and 4
●
All CAN modules can be operated in slots 3
and with the exception of R&S TS-PSM1.
(please note: danger of touching the shield
springs of the embedded CPU with the module
circuit board in slot 3).

R&S TS-PCA3 Backplane Versions
●
All PXI modules can operate in slots 5 to 14
without any limitations. All TSVP-CPCI modules
can also be used with no restrictions. There are
some restrictions for CAN modules TS-PMB
and TS-PSM1 (see description of modules).
●
The change described above was not performed for slot 15. As a result +5 V and ±12 V
as well as the CAN bus are still wired on the
pins of the PXI local bus. Therefore only R&S
modules may be operated here. For mechanical reasons, only modules that do not require
any rear I/O module can be considered.
●
Slot 16 is still only suitable for use of R&S
switching modules with CAN control (R&S TSPMB, R&S TS-PSM1, R&S TS-PSM2, R&S TSPSM3, R&S TS-PSM4, R&S TS-PSM5). R&S
TS-PIO2 and R&S TS-PSU cannot be used in
this slot, since a rear I/O module is required,
and for mechanical reasons it cannot be operated in this slot.

R&S TS-PDC Can only be fitted to rear slots of modules designed
for the use of a R&S TS-PDC.
The old R&S TS-PDC V1.0 (serial No.100001 to
100192) must be brought up to the level of V1.1
manually to work with the new backplane V4.x by
rewiring to V1.1 state, since the +5-V power supply
on the back of the backplane was moved to another
pin.
CAN bus is disabled in backplane V4.x, although
this can only affect a special application.
R&S TS-PMB V2.x (has only one cPCI connector,
X20), serial No. to 100182
R&S TS-PMB V3.x (has 2 cPCI connector), serial
No. starting at 100183
R&S TS-PSM1 Can be used in backplane V1.x to V3.x on slots 3 to
R&S TS-PIO1 Can be used in backplane V1.x to V3.x on slots 5 to
Can be connected up to backplane V3.x in slots 5 to
16.
In V4.0 can only be plugged directly into slots 15
and 16. Modules must be upgraded to revision index
2.14 in order to be operated in slots 5 to 14, and a
R&S TS-PRIO module must be connected on the
rear side.
Only V3.x is delivered in new deliveries.
Can be connected to slots 5 through 16 in all versions, and in slots 3 and 4 as well for V4.x (higher
pin configurations possible with ICT).
Can also be used in slots 3 and 4 in backplane V4.x;
(caution: danger of slot 3 touching the shield springs
of the embedded CPU with the module circuit board
in slot 3)
16.
Starting with V4.x, can only be used in slots 15 and
16.
Because external signals can be supplied from the
rear, we recommend operating R&S TS-PSM1 in
slot 16 or possibly in slot 15.
16. Starting with V2.1, ±12 V is no longer available.
Starting with V4.x, can only be used in slots 15 and
16. Starting with serial No. 100160 can also be used
in slots 5 to 14 if R&S TS-PRIO is connected to the
rear side; provided no ±12 V is present.
PXI third-party modules In backplane version V2.0 there are power supply
voltages on some local bus leads. There is a potential danger of destroying the third-party module here.
±12 V and some +5-V pins have been removed on
local bus.
Can be used starting with V4.0 on all PXI slots 5
through 14 without any restrictions; no power supply
voltages in the X20 connector.
R&S TS-PSC0 Can be used starting with V2.0; must be connected
in the rear to slot 1; slot in front must remain free, so
no controller must be fitted in the front slots.

module associated with CP306 must only be connected to slot 1 in the rear. RIO modules of CP304
and 306 are not interchangeable.
R&S TS-PSC5 Can be used starting with V4.0 (RIO modules of an
older system controller cannot be used together with
the R&S TS-PSC5).
R&S TS-PSC6 Can be used starting with V4.0 (RIO modules of an
older system controller cannot be used together with
the R&S TS-PSC6).
R&S TS-PIO2 Can be used in all versions on slots 5 to 14, in back-
plane V4.x also in slots 3 and 4.
NOTICE: Danger of making contact with front plate
slot 2.
R&S TS-PSU Can be used in all versions on slots 5 to 14, in back-
plane V4.x also in slots 3 and 4.
NOTICE: Danger of making contact with front plate
slot 2. Because of cooling considerations, do not
place more than one R&S TS-PSU next to each
other or next to other temperature-sensitive modules.
R&S TS-PSM2 Can be used in all versions on slots 5 to 16, in back-
plane V4.x also in slots 3 and 4.
NOTICE: Danger of making contact with front plate
slot 2.
R&S TS-PSM3 Can be used in all versions on slots 5 to 16.
To operate the module in slot 5 to 14 a R&S TSPRIO module must be connected on the rear side.
R&S TS-PSM4 Can be used in all versions on slots 5 to 16.
To operate the module in slot 5 to 14 a R&S TSPRIO module must be connected on the rear side.
R&S TS-PSM5 Can be used in all versions on slots 5 to 16.

R&S TS-PCA3 Backplane Versions
Rear I/O and customer-specific adjustments:
Backplane versions up to 3.x have power supply
voltages +5 V and ±12 V on the rear of the PXI bus
(connector X2 or X20) on slots 3 through 14 in the
area of the local bus, which introduce the danger of
conflicts/damage to PXI modules. On the other
hand, it was possible to use the voltages to supply
power to the modules. Starting with V2.1, ±12 V and
part of the 5-V pins are isolated on the front.
Starting with V4.0 these voltages are completely
lacking on the front of the X20. +5 V is still available
on the rear on other pins non-critical pins from PXI.
Customer-specific modules may have a problem
here if the access the +5 V or ±12 V power supply.
+5 V is possible in the rear with additional wiring on
the RIO module to the new pins. ±12 V is no longer
available on X20 for safety reasons. They can be
moved to the back, however, in a bridge is welded
on the front module between connectors X1 and
X20 to the earlier ±12-V pins.
