The Acromag/Xembedded/Xycom XVME-202 is a PAMUX Controller Module that interfaces VMEbus masters with OPTO 22 PAMUX I/O subsystems, enabling distributed data acquisition and control across extended network distances. Operating as an IEEE 1014-compliant A16:D08(0) DTB Slave, this single-height 6U card delivers high-speed access to remote I/O infrastructure while supporting up to 500 distributed I/O points via daisy-chained Intelligent Brain Boards located up to 500 feet from the VMEbus controller.
