- Provides a Dedicated PC/AT Interfaces
- Used with 3922 Crate Controllers
- Up to Eight Crate Controllers Addressed on a Single Bus
The Kinetic Systems 2927-Z1A 16-bit Interface for IBM PC/AT7 is a computer bus adapter for use with the IBM
PC/AT, Compaq 386, or other fully compatible computer. It mounts
in any available 16-bit expansion slot within the computer, and communicates with the host using a 16-bit data path.
This interface supports up to eight 3922 crate controllers via a
5843-Txyz 40-conductor, twisted-pair ribbon cable. Signaling on this bus is accomplished with RS-485
balanced-line drivers and receivers, giving high noise immunity and
allowing an overall cable distance between the computer interface
and the last 3922 of up to 90 meters (300 feet). The last 3922 on
the Parallel Bus is terminated with a termination card.
Program transfers as well as DMA data blocks are supported by this
interface. The DMA channel provides speed-efficient block transfers
with the following modes of operation: Q-Scan, Q-Stop, Wait Until
Q, and Stop on Word Count. Interrupt capability is provided. An
interrupt can be generated by "DMA Done" or by a pending LAM. In
response to a LAM interrupt, the host computer performs a parallel poll of the 3922s via the 2927. In response to the parallel poll,
each 3922 requesting service asserts one of the eight data lines (i.e.,
Crate 5 asserts Data Line 5). This method increases the efficiency of
the interrupt service routing in multicrate systems.
An on-board switch on the 2927 is used to select the base address in
the PC's I/O page. Strap options on the module select the DMA channel number as well as the interrupt request level for both the Done
and LAM interrupts.
The 2927-Z1A Kinetic Systems 16-bit Interface for IBM PC/AT may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
