The Abaco Systems VMIVME-1111-020 is a 64-bit high-voltage digital input board for VMEbus systems operating per ANSI/IEEE STD 1014-1987, IEC 821, and IEC 297. The board accepts 64 input channels across differential, electronic switching circuits, standard logic circuits, mechanical switch contacts, relay contacts, and Opto22-compatible signal conditioning modules. Each group of 32 inputs is jumper-selectable for contact closure, voltage sourcing, current sinking, or differential signal monitoring.
Technical Specifications
