PCI Express - PCIe in industrial use
PCI Express is a versatile and powerful memory bus standard that has revolutionized the way peripheral devices are connected to computers. With its high data transfer rates, efficient power supply and hot-swap capability, PCI Express has become an essential part of the industrial PC.
PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), also known as PCIe or PCI-e, is a high-speed memory bus standard that was developed to replace the older PCI, PCI-X and AGP bus standards. It was introduced by Intel in 2003 and has since become the dominant memory bus standard for high-performance PCs in the industry.
Main features of PCI Express
Serial communication: PCI Express uses a serial communication protocol that enables much higher data transfer rates than the parallel communication of older bus standards such as PCI.
Point-to-point connections: Each PCI Express device is connected to the computer's motherboard or other expansion devices via a dedicated point-to-point connection. This eliminates the competition for bandwidth that can occur with shared bus systems.
Hot-swap capability: PCI Express devices can be hot-plugged, meaning they can be inserted or removed while the computer is running.
Efficient power supply: PCI Express supports efficient power saving features that can help reduce power consumption and improve the battery life of mobile devices.
