This unit
The Abaco Systems PCI-60A-8/32 is a six-slot IndustryPack carrier board for PCI bus applications, designed to interface industrial I/O modules with host systems. Built around the PLX PCI9080 controller and Altera FPGA logic, this card delivers software-selectable clock rates and flexible memory addressing across all installed modules.
Technical Specifications
- IndustryPack Slots: 6 sites
- Host Interface: PCI Bus (32-bit address space)
- PCI Controller: PLX PCI9080
- FPGA Logic: Altera
- IndustryPack Bus Clock: Software-selectable, 8 MHz or 32 MHz per slot
- Memory Space per IP Site: 8 MB standard
- PCI Signaling Levels: 3.3V and 5.0V
- IndustryPack Connectors: Six 50-pin keyed, shrouded ribbon cable headers
- Rear Panel I/O: One 50-pin connector
- Indicators: LEDs for CPU access and power monitor per slot
- Power Management: Filtered power rails and resettable fuses
- Interrupt Vector Space: Fully configurable
Key Features
- Linear PCI memory mapping with fixed partitions for memory, I/O, and ID spaces per module
- Per-slot clock selection optimizes performance for different IndustryPack types
- Interrupt acknowledge space retrieves IndustryPack vectors directly
- Keyed 50-pin connectors ensure correct module orientation and prevent installation errors
- Single rear-panel connector provides accessible I/O without internal routing constraints
Typical Applications Data acquisition systems, real-time control platforms, signal processing, and industrial automation requiring modular I/O expansion via standard IndustryPack interfaces.
Compatibility & Integration Fully compliant with VITA-4 IndustryPack Logic Interface Specification, supporting a broad range of third-party IndustryPack modules. Backward compatible with the PCI-40A. Standard 50-pin connectors permit integration with SBS transition modules and terminal blocks.

Abaco Systems / SBS / Greenspring PCI-60A-8/32 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Abaco Systems / SBS / Greenspring PCI-60A-8/32. 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 / Greenspring PCI-60A-8/32 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.
