CAMAC - 2962 Grand Interconnect PCI Host Adapter View Datasheet Request Ordering Information     ABOUT 2962 The Grand Interconnect (GI) connects multiple I/O chassis to a host computer, providing a high-throughput, deterministic data acquisition and control system. A complete GI system includes an Interconnect Highway Driver (IHD), up to 126 I/O nodes that may include VXI Slot-0 controllers and/or CAMAC (IEEE 583) crate controllers, and a fiber-optic highway. The system supports distances between nodes up to 2 km (6560 ft). The 2962 Interconnect Highway Driver is a single PCI (Peripheral Component Interface) card which provides the interface between the PCI bus and the Interconnect Highway. Communication between this IHD and the host computer is via a 32-bit data path that is used to configure the system and initiate highway operations. A DMA (direct memory access) mechanism is incorporated to transfer data over the Interconnect Highway using 32-bit data transfers. The 2962 IHD supports PCI DMA transfers, yielding a 15 Mbyte/s burst transfer rate.
