Abaco Systems / SBS 212-2 cPCI to PCI Backplane Controller Card (cPCI Card Only)

The Abaco Systems / SBS 212-2 is a CompactPCI (cPCI) to Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) backplane controller card designed to enable PCI cards to interface with a cPCI backplane. This card is intended for applications requiring PCI to cPCI connectivity and is compatible with any standard cPCI backplane and cPCI enclosure. The 212-2 requires a GE Fanuc / SBS 210-2 or 210-2A PCI host card for full PCI to cPCI connectivity.

### Compatibility and System Integration

* **cPCI Backplane Compatibility:** The SBS 212-2 is designed to be compatible with any standard cPCI backplane and can be used within any cPCI enclosure.
* **Host Card Requirement:** For complete PCI to cPCI interoperability, the 212-2 card necessitates the use of a GE Fanuc / SBS 210-2 or 210-2A PCI host card.
* **Host Card Compatibility:** The 210-2 / 212-2 controller cards can be utilized with any GE Fanuc / SBS 32-bit PCI 20x-2 host card.
* **PCI Backplane Compatibility (Host Card):** The companion 210-2 PCI card is compatible with any non-ATX backplane.
* **PCI 210-2A Specifics:** The PCI 210-2A host card is exclusively for use with remote power-up host cards and backplanes or rackmount enclosures.
* **RoHS Version:** The 56040-102 PCI is noted as the RoHS compliant version of the 210-2 PCI.
* **PCI Standards:** SBS PCI adapter cards conform to PCI Local Bus Specification 2.0, and cPCI adapter cards meet PICMG 2.0 specifications, with the latter limited to PCI 2.0 compliance.

### Supported Features and Functionality

* **32-Bit PCI Connectivity:** The card facilitates 32-bit PCI connectivity within a cPCI environment.
* **Inter-System Communication:** Supports communication through memory mapping (PIO transfers) and Direct Memory Access (DMA). Memory mapping allows random access transfers between local and remote buses.
* **DMA Performance:** Controller Mode DMA transfers are supported at sustained rates up to 45 MBytes/sec.
* **Software Support:** Includes loadable device drivers, example programs, and installation tools for device driver installation. Drivers are available for Windows NT, Solaris, and IRIX.

### Physical and Environmental

* **Card Type:** This is the cPCI card component of a PCI to cPCI connectivity solution.
* **Form Factor:** While specific physical dimensions for the 212-2 card itself are not detailed in the provided snippets, related PCI cards (ABI-PCI) come in 1/2 length (single channel) or 3/4 length (dual channel) formats. CompactPCI itself is defined for 3U (100mm x 160mm) and 6U (160mm x 233mm) card sizes, adhering to IEEE 1101.1 mechanical standards.

### Documentation and Support

* **Manuals and Datasheets:** Manuals, datasheets, and drivers for the SBS 212-2 are available. Specific documents mentioned include the “GE Fanuc / SBS 32-Bit PCI Expansion System Datasheet” and the “GE Fanuc / SBS 212-2 CPCI Manual”.
* **End-of-Life (EOL):** The product may still be available for purchase and support from third-party vendors like Artisan Technology Group beyond its End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer.
