PCIe-8560/PXI-8565
PCI Express-to-PXI/CompactPCI Expansion Kits
Introduction
The PCI Express-to-PXI/CompactPCI expansion kit provides
control of PXI/CompactPCI modules installed in a PXI/CompactPCI
expansion system using the high-bandwidth PCI Express technology.
With comprehensive hardware and software transparency, the
expansion kit enables fast and convenient detection of any installed
PXI/CompactPCI cards in the expansion system, without requiring
additional drivers or software installation.

PCI Express®
PCIe-8560
The PCIe-8560 and PXI-8565 PCI Express-to-PXI/CompactPCI expansion kit provides additional PXI slots
to the host computer by implementing a PCI Express-based control of PXI/CompactPCI modules.
The technology consists of a PCIe-8560 card installed in the host computer, a shielded cable, and the
expansion system with the 3U (Eurocard) PXI-8565 expansion module. The PCIe-8560 comes in a PCI
Express x1 footprint and converts PCI Express signals to a PCI bridge that supports seven 32-bit/66 MHz
PXI/CompactPCI modules.
PXI-8565
Controlling 6U CompactPCI®/PXI™ Modules
Features
For applications require controlling 6U PXI or CompactPCI modules through PCI Express, ADLINK
provides the PXI-8565/6U, the 6U version of PXI-8565. The PXI-8565/6U provides the exact same
features as PXI-8565 but in a 6U CompactPCI/PXI form factor. The product package includes one
PCIe-8560 to plug into a host PC, one PXI-8565/6U for the remote 6U CompactPCI/PXI chassis,
and one ACL-EXPRESS-1/3/7 expansion cable.
