The Abaco Systems CPCI-200B-BP is a 6U CompactPCI carrier board that integrates up to four ANSI/VITA 4 compliant IndustryPack (IP) modules into cPCI systems. It bridges specialized I/O and processing functions through a high-speed 32-bit PCI interface, delivering flexible expansion for embedded and industrial applications. The board features a PLX PCI9080 controller and Altera FPGA logic for configurable interrupt mapping, making it ideal for system integrators and OEMs deploying modular I/O solutions in space-constrained environments.
