Computer Component Definitions The following sections provide an overview for various computer terms and components, as well as their application to RAC6000 computer products.

Passive Backplane Computers A computer platform consisting of a multi-slot backplane and a separate plug-in CPU card. Several years ago when computers were less reliable and changing rapidly, passive backplane computers were popular because it is easy to replace the CPU card for repairs or upgrades. Today passive backplane computers are popular because they can offer lots of add-in card slots, or can be designed to fit small enclosures. Passive backplane computers are primarily used in industrial and telecommunications applications, so their technology usually lags commercial PCs by at least 6 months. The 6155 and 6181 computers are passive back-plane designs.

Active Computers A computer platform with the processor, memory, I/O ports, and add-in card slots integrated onto a single circuit board. Almost all commercial PCs today contain active motherboards, because they are the most cost-effective design. Today’s trends are toward higher integration on the motherboard, such as embedded video and network interfaces. The most popular motherboard size is the ATX standard. The ATX standard defines the circuit board dimensions, the card slot and I/O connector locations, and the power supply voltage and current requirements. New PC technologies are first implemented on active motherboard designs for the commercial market. The 6155 and 6180 computers are ATX active motherboard designs, so can deliver these new technologies more quickly to the industrial PC market.

ISA Slots “Industry Standard Adapter.” This is an add-in card slot that connects the card to the computer processor over the 8MHz ISA , with either an 8-bit or 16-bit data path. ISA is a legacy bus originally developed for the IBM PC. Most ISA cards do not support “”, so the user must manually configure the system memory and interrupts according to each card’s requirements. ISA slots are no longer available in most commercial computers, and are no longer listed in PC standards. Because many industrial applications still use ISA cards, all RAC6000 computers provide at least 1 ISA slot.

PCI Slots “Peripheral Connect Interface.” This is an add-in card slot that connects the card to the computer processor over the 33MHz PCI bus. PCI cards support “Plug and Play”, which allows a computer’s BIOS to automatically assign resources to the cards. This makes it easy to install and configure PCI cards and their drivers. All RAC6000 computers provide at least 1 PCI slot.

Shared Slots This is a physical slot that can be used as either an ISA slot or a PCI slot, but not both simultaneously. It has two connectors to support either card type. Shared slots are useful when backplane space is limited, because they increase the available mix of ISA and PCI slots.

Card Slot Specification All RAC6000 literature defines computer slots by an “X / Y / Z” designation. The “X” denotes the number of PCI slots, the “Y” is the number of ISA slots, and “Z” is the number of shared slots. A computer with a 3/2/1 slot configuration has 3 PCI slots, 2 ISA slots, and 1 shared slot that can be used for either PCI or ISA. This computer can support up to 4 PCI and 2 ISA cards, or 3 PCI and 3 ISA cards.

Processor Packages has developed a variety of “standardized” electronic sockets for its , Pentium II, Pentium III, and processors. These packages are commonly referred to as , Slot 1, and .

Socket 7 The original Intel Pentium processor socket is often called a “Socket 7” design. Many other companies offer drop-in processors for Socket 7 motherboards. The 6155 and 6180 Pentium 166MHz options are a socket 7 design. The 6181 CPU card is a Socket 7 design, and supports Intel Pentium 166MHz, Intel Pentium MMX 233MHz, and AMD K6-2 366MHz processors. The Pentium 166 and MMX233 are on Intel’s long-life or embedded roadmap.

Slot 1 Intel changed to a “Slot 1” package with its Pentium II, Pentium III, and Celeron processors. The “Slot 1” package is a cartridge that plugs into the motherboard at a right angle. Some of the high-end Intel processors are still available in Slot 1. The 6155 and 6180 Pentium III options are currently Slot 1 designs, but will be migrating to Socket 370 with the next motherboard release. No Intel Slot 1 processors are on their long-life or embedded roadmap.

Socket 370 Intel is now offering a “Socket 370” design in its new Pentium III and Celeron processors. Socket 370 processors have a more traditional integrated circuit package. The 6155 Celeron 433MHz CPU card is a Socket 370 design. The upcoming 6155 and 6180 new motherboard will be a Socket 370 design. The Pentium III 600MHz processor in Socket 370 packaging is on Intel’s embedded roadmap.

RAM Computer random access memory (RAM) is packaged in either Single-Inline-Memory- Modules (SIMMs) or Dual-Inline-Memory-Modules (DIMMs). DIMMs are used today in most computers, because they offer a higher density. DIMMs are currently available in up to 256MB configurations. Computer motherboards and CPU cards have from 1 to 4 memory sockets. In older SIMM socket designs, 4 memory sockets are organized in 2 memory banks, 2 sockets to a bank. The SIMM devices in each bank must be the same size. Today’s computer boards with DIMM sockets to not have this restriction.

Hard Drives Computer hard drives are mass storage devices to hold the operating system, application programs, and data files. Today’s hard drives are usually a single-platter device. The most popular size is a 3.5-inch platter for desktop systems. 2.5-inch platter hard drives are used in laptop computers. The hard drive connects back to the computer through either an EIDE or SCSI parallel bus. EIDE hard drives are the most popular because it is a less expensive interface. SCSI hard drives typically support faster data access times, but cost more than EIDE drives. Today’s 3.5-inch hard drive capacities start at around 10 Gigabytes, and are available up to hundreds of gigabytes.

Hard drives are the fastest-changing technology in a computer system. Vendors typically only support specific models for 3 to 6 months. RAC6000 computers buffer these rapid changes by offering memory size ranges instead of specific sizes. These ranges are current Medium (8-13GB), Large (13-30GB), and Extra Large (30+GB). All single hard- drive computers use EIDE hard drives. The RAID1 dual hard drive option uses SCSI hard drives.

Video cards A video interface takes digital information from the computer and converts it into video signals that drive the computer display. The speed of the interface between the video circuitry and processor influences the display’s update rates. Today’s most common interfaces are based on either a PCI bus interface or the newer AGP (Advanced Graphics Port) interface. The video interface can be either integrated into the motherboard or CPU card, or located on a separate video card. Most of today’s computer motherboards have a dedicated AGP slot.

The video interface uses very high-speed memory to storage the digital video information. The amount of video memory required is a function of the display resolution and color depth. For simple VGA (640x480 pixels) resolution and 256-bit (1 byte) color, only 307,200 bytes of video memory are needed. That is 1 byte for each pixel. For XGA (1024x480 pixels) resolution and true 32-bit (4 byte) color, 3,145,728 bytes of video memory as required. This simple formula applies to typical computer applications. Some newer video technologies such as 3D graphics require more memory. Next-generation Intel processor chipsets will use system memory instead of traditional video memory.

Allen-Bradley computers offer a variety of video interfaces. The 6181 computer and 6155 passive backplane computers have the video interface integrated into their CPU cards. These interfaces currently support 1-2MB video memory and PCI interfaces. No additional video card is required in these computers.

The 6155 active motherboard computer uses standard commercial video cards. The current options are a 4MB PCI video card or an 8MB AGP video card.

The 6180 active motherboard computers use custom-designed PCI and AGP video cards. The 6180 video cards are customized to provide internal connections to the integral LCD display, as well as support external video connections. The current options are a 4MB PCI video card or a 4MB AGP video card. The 4MB memory is sufficient to operate the highest resolution display option (15” LCD, 1024x768) in true-color depth.

LCD Displays The 6180 and 6181 computers have integrated LCD displays. These are either STN (Super Twist Numatic) or TFT (Thin Film Transistor) color LCD displays. STN LCD panels use a scanning type technology to control the liquid crystal pixels. The advantage of STN is lower cost. The disadvantages are reduced brightness and contrast, reduced viewing angles, and in some cases lower operating temperatures. TFT LCD panels use individual transistors to control each pixel. The advantages of TFT are high brightness and contrast, wide viewing angles, and higher operating temperatures. The disadvantage of TFT is higher cost.

Current sizes offered in RAC6000 computers are 10.4” 640x480 resolution, 10.4” 800x600 resolution, 12.1” 800x600 resolution, and 15” 1024x768 resolution. LCD displays differ from CRT displays, in that there is only 1 physical element for each display pixel. CRTs have a very fine pixel resolution, and can easily change between display resolutions. LCDs are best used with the native-mode resolution, and there are averaging errors when lower resolutions are used. Neither LCDs or CRTs can support resolutions higher than their maximum rating.

Touchscreens A touchscreen is a sensing device used as an operator interface option on computer monitors. It acts as a transparent switch, passing on the operator’s finger or stylus position when activated to the computer. The touchscreen driver interprets the physical activation into location data on the desktop, much like a mouse driver. There are many types of touchscreen technologies available: resistive, capacitive, infrared, SAW are among the most common. RAC6000 computers use analog resistive touchscreens exclusively.

Resistive Touchscreen This touchscreen technology uses two sheets of a thin, transparent overlay material that rests over the display surface. The two sheets are each coated with a conductive material, and held apart by small spacer dots. When depressed, the two sheets close like a switch. In matrix touchscreens, the sheets are screened with rows and columns, and the touch resolution depends upon the row and column sizes. In analog touchscreens, a voltage gradient is used so touch resolution is essentially infinite. The advantages of resistive touchscreens are high touch resolution, good durability, easy to panel seal for NEMA4 applications, and impervious to false activation from surface dirt and debris. The disadvantage of resistive touchscreens is reduced display brightness caused by the two overlay sheets.

Capacitive Touchscreen This touchscreen technology uses a single sheet of thin, transparent overlay material that rests over the display surface. The single sheet is coated with a conductive material, and driving by an oscillating voltage gradient. When a human figure comes in contact with the material, water in the skin disrupts the voltage field, and the contact position is decoded by the interface electronics. The resolution is essentially infinite. The advantages of capacitive touchscreens are increased display brightness with only a single overlay sheet, and easy to panel seal for NEMA4 applications. The disadvantage is that a bare human finger is needed to activate the touchscreen. Gloves or stylus devices cannot be used.

Infrared Touchscreen This touchscreen technology uses a border of infrared LEDs and sensors around the display surface. The IR beams are broken when the display surface is touched, and the position then decoded by the interface electronics. The advantages of infrared touchscreens are the display brightness not affected by any overlay material, and there is no overlay that can be damaged by cutting or abrasions. The disadvantages of infrared touchscreens are limited touch resolution, difficult to panel seal, and sensitivity to false activation from surface dirt, water, and debris.

SAW Touchscreen “Surface Acoustic Wave”. This touchscreen technology uses an overlay material with micro channels that carry sound waves across the display surface. When touched, the sound waves are disrupted and the touch position is decoded by the interface electronics. The advantages of SAW touchscreens are increased display brightness with only a single overlay sheet, and easy to panel seal for NEMA4 applications. The disadvantages of SAW touchscreens are limited touch resolution and sensitivity to false activation from surface dirt, water, and debris.

Reliability Information

Calculated MTBF Mean-Time-Before-Failure calculations are not an accurate representation of an industrial computer or monitor product’s expected life cycle in a factory environment. Commercial high technology suppliers change their products so rapidly that very little statistical information available for realistic MTBF estimates. It is also a highly competitive market, so calculated MTBF numbers are often highly overstated. For example, some hard drive manufacturers claim up to 1 million hours MTBF. While this may be theoretically possible in a laboratory environment, most hard drives will not last 100 years in everyday operation. Because of the inaccuracy and variability involved with calculated MTBF numbers, Allen-Bradley does not promote the use of calculated MTBF for product comparisons, unless the calculations are performed with the same methodology and input criteria.

Demonstrated MTBF A more accurate means to gauge a product’s reliability is through accelerated life testing. This demonstrated MTBF method provides a more realistic gauge for the product’s expected MTBF. Allen-Bradley performs demonstrated MTBF testing on its 6180 and 6181 computer products. The 6180 testing has been ongoing for over 4 years, and has achieved in excess of 75,000 hours “demonstrated MTBF”. The 6181 testing was started in August 1999.

Other Reliability Factors All RAC6000 flat panel computer and monitor products have LCD panels with CCT backlights. The backlight tubes are rated in terms of time to half brightness. So if a product’s backlight states 50,000 MTBF, that means 50,000 hours until the backlight tubes are half as bright as when they were new. Allen-Bradley RAC6000 products use the highest quality displays available, and try to maximum the backlight tube life to reduce customer downtime. All RAC6000 backlight tubes are field replaceable.

RAC6000 Product Support All RAC6000 computer and monitor products are built-to-order. As a result, it is not economical or logistically feasible to provide a repair parts inventory of finished products for exchange. All RAC6000 products are modularly designed for field replacement of component items. Because of the variability of computer components, some items may be functional instead of identical replacements. For example, the current replacement to a 1GB hard drive sold three years ago is an 8GB hard drive.

There is a complete list of the RAC6000 replacement parts on the Allen-Bradley CST Website and Distributor Extranet Website. This document contains not only a summary list, but also shows replacement parts by option letter including functional replacement suggestions. A large portion of the RAC6000 replacement parts is in the GTS Repair Parts inventories. The parts can also be ordered directly through Passport for non- warranty repairs or upgrades.

Starting in the summer 2000, all RAC6000 computers will ship with the AMIDIAG hardware diagnostic utility. This software tool provides basic hardware testing capability to verify that all the computer’s features are operational. The purpose of this tool is so that customer can work in conjunction with Allen-Bradley Technical Support to quickly diagnose computer hardware and software problems.

In addition to the AMIDIAG hardware diagnostic utility, Allen-Bradley can also make available the Western Digital WDDIAG hard drive test utility. WDDIAG allows a user to verify the health of a hard drive, as well as perform vendor-specific diagnostics on the unit.
