The Acromag AVME9660 is a non-intelligent slave board designed for VMEbus systems, functioning as a carrier for Industry Pack (IP) modules. This cost-effective solution expands I/O capabilities within VME environments and supports remote data acquisition and control applications. The board provides full data access to IP module I/O, ID, and memory spaces through programmable registers, enabling direct configuration and control from the VMEbus.
