Industrial Automation Solution – GERMAN POWER CPCI106-3512 | CompactPCI CPU Series
Where This Product Is Used
The GERMAN POWER CPCI106-3512 is a CompactPCI (cPCI) CPU module with an integrated 24V DC/DC converter, purpose-built for demanding embedded computing environments. Engineers specify this module across the following verticals:
- Railway & Transportation: Onboard train control units, passenger information systems, and trackside signaling controllers requiring EN 50155-compliant hardware.
- Defense & Aerospace: Ruggedized mission computers, radar signal processing, and avionics data acquisition systems operating in wide-temperature environments.
- Industrial Process Control: SCADA front-end processors, distributed control system (DCS) nodes, and high-availability PLC gateway controllers.
- Power Utilities & Substations: IEC 61850 communication gateways and protection relay management systems powered from 24V DC station batteries.
- Medical Imaging & Diagnostics: Embedded computing platforms inside CT/MRI control cabinets where compact form factor and stable DC power are critical.
- Telecommunications Infrastructure: CompactPCI chassis-based telecom platforms (PICMG 2.0) for carrier-grade switching and protocol processing.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the CPCI106-3512 compatible with 48V DC input systems?
A: The onboard DC/DC converter is rated for 24V DC nominal input. For 48V DC systems, an external DC/DC pre-regulator is required. Contact us for a recommended solution.
Q: Can this module run as a System Slot 1 controller in a cPCI chassis?
A: Yes, the CPCI106 series is designed to operate as the system controller in PICMG 2.0-compliant backplanes. Confirm slot 1 arbitration support with your backplane vendor.
Q: What OS/BSP is supported?
A: GERMAN POWER provides BSP support for VxWorks and Linux. Contact your regional GERMAN POWER representative or Konmask for BSP licensing details.
Q: Is a refurbished option available?
A: Yes. Refurbished units are available at a reduced price point and carry the same 12-month warranty after our full functional test process.
Q: Do you provide an IEC 61850 communication stack with this module?
A: The hardware supports IEC 61850 implementations via third-party software stacks. Konmask can recommend integration partners upon request.
