Performance real-time target machine - I/O expansion

Supported I/O modules
Most Speedgoat I/O modules come in the PMC form factor and can be used in all Speedgoat real-time target machines using PMC-to-PCI, PMC-to-PCIe, or PMC-to-cPCI adapters. Adapters for your selected target machine are included with each delivery. In the case of existing legacy PCI I/O hardware or proprietary designs native PCI I/O cards can be installed into the Performance real-time target machine as well.

For a complete overview to all available Speedgoat I/O modules for the Performance real-time target machine visit our I/O modules product section.

I/O expansion PMC-to-PCIe carrier cards
In its standard version the Performance real-time machine has free PCI slots for up to 5 I/O modules whereas the industrial mainboard provided for the faster CPU options (starting at 3.16GHz) also include up to two PCIe I/O slots. To leverage these I/O slots to install PMC I/O modules Speedgoat also PMC-to-PCIe carrier boards.

In case you even need to install more I/O modules Speedgoat offers the following additional expansion option:

I/O expansion chassis for up to 17 PCI slots
Expands the Performance real-time target machine with up to two additional chassis each including support for six additional PCI I/O slots. The I/O modules in the Performance-IOExpansion unit are detected and usable as having been plugged into the Performance real-time target machine itself. The bus performance supported is up to 64bit/66MHz.

Wiring between the Performance real-time target machine and the Performance-IOExpansion unit is established via a 1m long flexible small-diameer copper cable supporting a high-bandwith low latency Infiniband® connection. I/O module access latency is therefore increased by only 10% compared to access of I/O modules directly plugged into the Performance real-time target machine itself.

Each Performance-IOExpansion chassis requires one PCIe I/O slot of the Performance real-time target machine. Therefore the total number of supported I/O slots is 17 (5 PCI slots in target machine + 6 + 6).

In case you even need to install more I/O modules such as because you need more than 1000 I/O channels please contact Speedgoat to discuss further expansion options.
