This unit
The Abaco Systems PCI-40A is a four-slot IndustryPack carrier board that integrates multiple IndustryPack modules directly into PCI-based systems. Built around a PLX PCI9080 controller and Altera FPGA, this standard PCI form factor card expands industrial and desktop I/O capabilities while maintaining full compliance with ANSI/VITA 4-1995 specifications.
Technical Specifications
Bus Interface & Control- PLX PCI9080 PCI controller
- Altera FPGA logic
- PCI local bus compliance: rev. 1.1 (March 28, 2005)
- PCI signaling: 5.0 V IndustryPack Architecture
- Four (4) IndustryPack slots with 50-pin keyed connectors
- Per-slot clock selection: 8 MHz to 32 MHz (software-configurable)
- 8 MB memory space per IndustryPack site
- Two interrupt requests per IP module
- Interrupt vector space fully configurable
- ID space formats: Type I and Type II support Data Transfer & Addressing
- 32-bit high-speed PCI host address space
- Slave mode: 32-bit, 16-bit, and 8-bit data transfers
- 32-bit read/write implemented as dual 16-bit transfers to IP modules
- I/O space: 128 bytes per IP module (16-bit and 8-bit access)
- ID space: Type I (32 bytes consecutive even addresses) and Type II (32 words via D16 transfers)
- Total memory allocation: 256 bytes for PCI configuration + 64 MB for IP module address space
Key Features
- Per-slot clock flexibility enables mixed-speed module populations
- Linear memory mapping and fixed address partitioning for each module
- Interrupt acknowledge cycles via IP INT space access
- Supports both 16-bit and 8-bit ID space access modes
Typical Applications Real-time data acquisition, embedded control systems, legacy IndustryPack module integration, industrial automation platforms, and distributed I/O expansion in PCI-based architectures.
Compatibility & Integration Meets or exceeds ANSI/VITA 4-1995 specifications for 8 MHz and 32 MHz operation. Backward compatible with existing IndustryPack modules using Type I and Type II ID formats. Operates in standard PCI memory space with configurable address partitioning for memory, I/O, and ID resources across all four slots.

Abaco Systems / SBS PCI-40A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Abaco Systems / SBS PCI-40A. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Abaco Systems / SBS PCI-40A faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
