Introduction
Harnessing the bandwidth potential of PCI Express, these smart expansion systems enable computers with a PCI
Express slot to remotely manage and control up to 13 PCI devices seven meters away. Offering up to 13 (PCES-
8581-13S) or four PCI slots (PCES-8581-4S), these expansion systems operate in 32-bit/33 MHz configuration
and come with complete end-to-end hardware and software transparency for the host system. Hardware devices
installed in the expansion system function as if directly installed into the host system, requiring no additional
drivers or software installation.The host system may be separated from the expansion system at up to
seven meters using high-quality shielded twisted copper cables. The robust and reliable PCI expansion-
to-PCI expansion systems are suited for portable test and measurement applications with high-density I/O
requirement and in hazardous industrial control and automation environments.
Controlling PCI™ Remotely via the PCI Express® Interface
Most commercial desktop PCs are equipped with only one or two PCI slots. For systems requiring control
of multiple PCI devices from one PC system, this limitation causes great difficulty when searching for and
deciding on a suitable computer system. With the ADLINK PCES-8581-13S expansion system, users can easily
expand their system and conveniently accommodate 13 PCI devices or more.
For rugged applications where the PC system is subjected to a hazardous environment, valuable components
such as the CPU and hard disk drive are easily damaged. To protect these valuable IT investments, the
PCES-8581-13S and the PCES-8581-4S PCI Express-to-PCI expansion system can be controlled remotely at
up to 7 meters from the host PC using a high-speed and well-shielded cable. While the host PC system is installed at
a safe distance from the rugged environment, the remote expansion system is designed to withstand extreme
temperatures or high vibration. If the PCI devices require less electromagnetic interference, you may also use the
PCI Express-to-PCI expansion system to isolate high frequency interferences from the CPU, memory, or
North/Southbridge chips. These expansion systems also allow close installation of your DAQ and/or control
cards with the DUT (Device Under Test) for a more compact and space-saving test and measurement
environment.
