PCES-8581-4S/4L/13S
PCIe-to-PCI Expansion Systems
Introduction
Harnessing the bandwidth potential of the PCI Express, these latest smart expansion systems enable compuers with
a PCI Express slot to remotely manage and control up to 13 PCI devices seven meters away, using the high-speed
PCI Express interface. Offering up to 13 (PCES-8581-13S) or four PCI slots (PCES-8581-4S/4L), these expan-
sion systems operate in 32-bit/33 MHz configuration and come with complete end-to-end hardware and
software transparency for the host system. Hardware devices installed in the expansion system behave and
work as if these are directly installed into the host system, requiring no additional drivers or software installation.
The host system may be separated from the expansion system at up to seven meters using high-quality
shielded twisted copper cables. The robust and reliable PCI expansion-to-PCI expansion systems are suited
for portable test and measurement applications with high-density I/O requirement and in hazardous industrial
control and automation environments.

Controlling PCI™ Remotely via the PCI Express
®
Interface
Most commercial desktop PCs of today are equipped with only one or two PCI slots. For users and applications
requiring control of multiple PCI devices from one PC system, this limitation causes great difficulty when
searching for and deciding on a suitable computer system. With the ADLINK PCES-8581-13S expansion
system, users can easily expand their system and conveniently accommodate 13 PCI devices or more.
For rugged applications where the PC system is subjected to a hazardous environment, valuable components
such as the CPU and hard disk drive are easily damaged. To protect these valuable IT investments, the
PCES-8581-13S and the PCES-8581-4S/4L PCI Express-to-PCI expansion system can be controlled remotely
at up to 7 meters from the host PC using a high-speed and well-shielded cable. While the host PC system is installed
at a safe distance from the rugged environment, the remote expansion system is designed to withstand
extreme temperatures or high vibration. On the other hand, if your PCI devices require less electromagnetic in-
terference, you may also use the PCI Express-to-PCI expansion system to isolate high frequency interferences
from the CPU, memory, or North/Southbridge chips. These expansion systems also allow close installation of
your DAQ and/or control cards with the DUT (Device Under Test) for a more compact and space-saving test
and measurement environment.
