Even more convenience at a rack-mounted PC price
XL-Pocket/6500-V for 6U devices is, after the 3U CP-Pocket/303-V, the second system design that offers CompactPCI convenience at a rack-mounted price. The system is designed for wall-mounting and equipped with a cost-effective 400-MHz (ULV) or 1GHz (LV) Intel® Celeron® Processor. With three front CompactPCI slots, the system is ideal for configurable machine controls or for the construction of compact servers. At the same time, it is also interesting that the standard design of the third expansion slot is not 6U but 3U. This makes the solution very flexible. Optionally, all 3U-6U combinations are feasible. The system is an alternative to compact rack-mounted computers, whose market segment is very price-competitive. The CompactPCI's assemblies that are front-replaceable completely accommodate the needs of the systems integrator and maintenance personnel. Furthermore, due to the CompactPCI feature set, the system solution offers more convenience at a base price of under 1,000 EUR.
The Ultra Low Voltage variant, with a maximum 10 watt power dissipation at 400 MHz, is also operated without an active fan. For network communication, two front Ethernet ports are available on the CPU assembly. Additionally there are two serial interfaces and the normal connections for keyboard, floppy and graphics (VGA CRT with a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels). Two EIDE ports facilitate the connection of mass-storage devices; one of these interfaces is designed for an on-board HDD. In addition, the CPU board includes a CompactFlash socket. The CP6500-V can also be expanded as needed with customized mezzanine cards over a 32-bit/33-MHz PMC slot with rear I/O support. Additional I/O can be connected via the LPC interface or the rear I/O or CompactPCI expansion assemblies.
The CP6500-V works in both system- and peripheral slots. In the former case it communicates with all peripheral boards by CompactPCI protocol or Ethernet over the backplane; in the latter, only over Ethernet according to PICMG 2.16.
The CPUs are socketless and thus securely mounted. Up to 512 MB of main memory can be used in the 144-pin SODIMM socket. The extensive range of optimal front-mountable I/O assemblies from Kontron rounds out the versatile array and offers the appropriate configuration for each OEM or systems integrator.
Software support is offered for Windows XP, XP Embedded, and 2000, as well as Linux and VxWorks, among others.
Among the uses of the XL-Pocket/6500-V are all standard industrial applications such as Soft-SPSen or IPC-control in machine and equipment construction, as well as compact server systems for industrial Ethernet communication. Equipped with field bus cards, they are exceptionally well-qualified as head- and master stations for field bus solutions. The use of visualization solutions is always possible due to the PC feature set.
The XL-Pocket costs under 1,000 Euro including CPU board CP6500-V with a 400-MHz ULV Celeron Processor and 128 MB RAM as well as a fanless 75-watt AC or DC power supply and is available now.
The advantages of Pocket systems
What is new about the Pocket systems is that they are not equipped with ISA- or PCI-based expansion assemblies as are classic box PCs, but rather with CompactPCI assemblies that are easily front-exchangeable without unscrewing the whole system. This significantly simplifies and accelerates configuration and maintenance. With three expansion slots, Pockets offer enough flexibility for customer-specific expansion of the system. Kontron offers the appropriate I/O boards for all standard interface requirements, including all standard field bus interfaces (which are significantly more convenient to handle mechanically), at a price comparable to that of any standard ISA- or PCI-card.
CompactPCI boards and systems are often found in high-end applications with high requirements. Broken down into performance ranges for classic industrial application, Pocket systems offer for the first time the most convenience possible at standard prices and a high level of investment security, since processor performance and I/O design can be matched to any of the actual requirements. In addition to the existing Ethernet interfaces already on the processor card provided as standard, an additional Ethernet switch from Kontron can be integrated. For this reason the Kontron Pocket systems are already optimally prepared for (industrial) Ethernet communication. Only the appropriate assemblies need be deployed, using the same housing. This makes the investment particularly attractive over the entire life cycle.
