The PCI Express-to-PXI/CompactPCI expansion kit provides control of PXI/CompactPCI modules installed in a PXI/CompactPCI expansion system using the high-bandwidth PCI Express technology. With comprehensive hardware and software transparency, the expansion kit enables fast and convenient detection of any installed PXI/CompactPCI cards in the expansion system, without requiring additional drivers or software installation. The PCIe-8560 and PXI-8565 are connected by a shielded twisted copper cable of up to seven meters for remote operating convenience. Suitable for remote industrial control or automation, the PCI Express-to- PXI/CompactPCI expansion kit is designed to withstand rugged environments and harsh operating conditions. .
Controlling 6U CompactPCI/PXI Modules: - Some applications require controlling 6U PXI or CompactPCI modules through PCI Express. For such applications, ADLINK provides the PXI-8565/6U, a 6U version of the PXI-8565. The PXI-8565/6U provides the exact same features as PXI-8565 but in a 6U CompactPCI/PXI form factor. The product package includes one PCIe-8560 to plug into a host PC, one PXI-8565/6U for the remote 6U CompactPCI/PXI chassis, and one ACL-EXPRESS-1/3/7 expansion cable.
