17.1.3 System Requirements
Hardware
The RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 board is a PCIe/104 module with
a corresponding form factor. The dimensions of the
RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 board are shown in figure 71 on
page 601 (note that the 100-pin MULTI connector
projects slightly beyond the RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 board’s
PCB edge). The RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 board provides PCI-
Express connectors and can be directly or indirectly
(in a stack of several PCIe/104 modules) connected to
a PCIe/104 CPU board.
Data transfer is via the board’s PCI-Express bus in
compliance with PCI-Express Base Specification
Revision 2.0 and with PCI Local Bus Specification
Revision 2.3. Stacks of up to four PCIe/104 modules
(plus the PCIe/104 CPU board) can be created.
RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 boards intended for master/slave
synchronization must be stacked adjacently.
To supply power for the RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 board, the
CPU board must provide at least +5 V at the PCI-
Express bus.
Software
The RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 board can use the same
software drivers and DLL files as the
RTC
®
5 PC interface board. Additionally to the oper-
ating systems listed in section 2.2.2 on page 26 for
the RTC
®
5 PC interface board, the RTC
®
5 software
drivers and RTC
®
5 DLL files also support Microsoft’s
WINDOWS XP Embedded operating system (i.e. the
32-bit and 64-bit versions of
WINDOWS XP Embedded SP2 or higher together
with RTC
®
5-software-package version 2011_09_29
or higher or DLL version DLL 528 or higher). Up to
four RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 boards can be operated via a
CPU board.
17.1.4 Optional Functionality
The RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 board can be configured for the
same functionality as the RTC
®
5 PC interface board
(see page 27). Optional functionality must be
enabled by SCANLAB or installed.
17.1.5 Optional Connector
The RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 board can be optionally
equipped with an additional MARKING ON THE FLY
connector (not included in the standard version).
17.1.6 Identification
The serial number of the RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 board is
printed on a white label attached to the board
(format: “RTC SN…”).
The board’s ID number and configuration are
described in the packaging list (also see "Optional
Accessories", page 29 and "Type Identification", page
600).
Caution!
•The RTC
®
5 PCIe/104 board does not support
power-saving modes, which switch off the
power supplies of the PCI-Express bus.
According standby or sleep modes of the
operating system must be deactivated.
