ADLINK Technology 51-37111-0C1 PCB Interface Card

ADLINK Technology 51-37111-0C1 PCB Interface Card

Product Introduction / Overview

The ADLINK 51-37111-0C1 is an industrial-grade 3U CompactPCI Rear Transition Module (RTM) / Interface Board. 

Designed to work in tandem with ADLINK's 3U CompactPCI master CPU blades (such as the cPCI-3700A Series) and display modules (such as the cPCI-8217 / cPCI-8217R), this interface card routes internal I/O bus signals through the backplane.

By shifting cable management and peripheral connections (VGA, LCD, Ethernet, COM, USB) to the rear panel, it preserves front-panel space, protects wiring inside industrial enclosures, and enables hot-swappable, high-reliability architecture in mission-critical applications.

Technical Parameter List

Product Features / Core Advantages

Streamlined Rear Wiring Architecture: Eliminates clutter on the front rack by routing display and communication signals out through the rear transition slot.

High Interoperability: Custom-engineered PCB trace layout (51-37111-0C1) for seamlessly pairing with ADLINK 3U SBCs like the cPCI-3700A and display modules like cPCI-8217.

Industrial Noise Immunity: Features heavy grounding, EMI shielding, and solid-state pass-through trace designs to ensure uninterrupted operation in high-interference environments.

High-Density Connector Design: Incorporates robust DIN-style CompactPCI connectors to resist physical vibration and shock.

Model Classification

cPCI-R8217 (51-37111-0C1 Variant): Function-tailored rear transition board optimized for graphics and video signal routing (VGA, TFT/DSTN LCD interfaces, and display power control).

cPCI-R3700A (51-37111-0C1 Variant): Function-tailored rear transition board serving system host CPU blades (cPCI-3700A series), extending serial ports, USB, LAN, and display outputs to the back.

Environmental Tolerance Conditions

Operating Temperature: 0°C to +60°C (Standard) / -20°C to +70°C (Extended/Rugged Option)

Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C

Relative Humidity: 5% to 95% (Non-condensing)

Vibration Resistance: 0.5 Grms, 5 to 500 Hz (Operating)

Shock Tolerance: 15 G peak acceleration, 11 ms duration (Non-operating)

Installation Method

Power Isolation: Ensure the 3U CompactPCI chassis power supply is completely turned off before installation.

Align Rear Slot: Locate the corresponding Rear Transition Slot on the back panel aligned with the front master CPU/display blade.

Insert RTM Module: Slide the 51-37111-0C1 card along the chassis guide rails until the backplane J2 pin header is fully mated.

Secure Fasteners: Tighten the top and bottom retaining screws on the front/rear faceplate to prevent loosening from vibration.

Connect Cables: Attach VGA cables, LCD ribbon harnesses, or RJ-45 Ethernet network leads to the rear I/O connectors.

Operating Instructions

Pin / Jumper Checks: Prior to initial powering, inspect onboard jumper configurations (e.g., panel voltage selection 3.3V / 5V) to match your connected display or peripheral hardware specifications.

Dual-Display Routing: When utilized with cPCI-8217 modules, verify BIOS setting defaults for proper dual-display signal cloning (VGA + LCD panel).

Hot-Swap Caution: Do not physically disconnect internal LCD panel ribbons while main power is applied to prevent overcurrent trip hazards.
