ADLINK cPCI-R6200 high-performance 6U CompactPCI Rear Transition Module (RTM)
The ADLINK cPCI-R6200 is a high-performance 6U CompactPCI Rear Transition Module (RTM) designed for industrial computing, telecommunications, sub-station automation, and transportation control systems. Installed in the rear slot of a CompactPCI chassis, it directly routes rear I/O signals from primary 6U host processor blades (such as the ADLINK cPCI-6510/6930 series or compatible Hirschmann control hardware).
Product Introduction / Overview
The cPCI-R6200 acts as an interface expansion board that eliminates front-panel cabling congestion by routing high-speed storage, networking, display, and peripheral signals directly to the back of the rack. Built to meet standard PICMG 2.0 / PICMG 2.3 CompactPCI specifications, it supports rich high-density I/O including Gigabit Ethernet, multiple SATA interfaces, USB 2.0 ports, audio, and optional CompactFlash expansion adapters.

Environmental Tolerance Conditions
Installation Method
Power Down Chassis
Safety Precaution
1.Power Down Chassis：Safety Precaution。
Disconnect main AC/DC power from the 6U CompactPCI enclosure before inserting or removing the rear module.
Align Board Guide Rails
Mechanical Alignment
2.Align Board Guide Rails：Mechanical Alignment。
Locate the exact rear slot corresponding to the host processor blade on the front. Slide the cPCI-R6200 card edges gently into the card guide rails.
Engage Backplane Connectors
| Condition | Operating Limit | Storage Limit |
| Temperature | 0°C to +60°C (Standard) / -20°C to +70°C (Extended) | -40°C to +85°C |
| Relative Humidity | 5% to 95% (Non-condensing) | 5% to 95% (Non-condensing) |
| Vibration | 1.5 Grms, 5–500 Hz (Random) | 3.0 Grms, 5–500 Hz |
| Shock | 15 G peak acceleration, 11 ms duration | 30 G peak acceleration, 11 ms |
Slot Insertion
3.Engage Backplane Connectors：Slot Insertion。
Push the module inward until the rear backplane connectors make contact. Press the top and bottom ejector handles simultaneously until they lock into place.
Secure Retaining Screws
Vibration Protection
4.Secure Retaining Screws：Vibration Protection。
Tighten the top and bottom front-panel captive screws using a Phillips screwdriver to prevent loose connections under industrial vibration.
Operating Instructions
BIOS / Host Configuration: The cPCI-R6200 does not require independent firmware setup; I/O controllers are recognized automatically by the host 6U CompactPCI single-board computer (SBC) BIOS.
Gigabit Ethernet Routing: Ensure network cables are connected to the RJ-45 jacks on the rear panel. Check status LEDs for link activity (Green = 1000 Mbps, Amber = 10/100 Mbps).
Storage Connection: Connect internal SATA drives directly to onboard 7-pin SATA headers prior to sliding the board into the rack enclosure.
