The Abaco Systems VMIVME-1111-000 is a 64-channel high-voltage digital input board for VMEbus systems. It accepts input signals ranging from 1.25 VDC to 66 VDC with user-selectable thresholds, supporting contact closures, voltage sources, current sinking, and differential signals. The board delivers 8-, 16-, or 32-bit configurable data transfers across individually addressable ports.
