AVME9510 Acromag Multifunction Analog and Digital I/O Board

This board economically interfaces both digital and analog I/O signals to the VMEbus. It offers an ideal solution for a wide variety of measurement and control applications where card cage space is limited. The isolation safety feature isolates all the analog and digital I/O channels as a group from the VMEbus to eliminate ground loop errors and provide protection from transient signals.

Digital points are configured as four 8-bit data ports. Each point is individually programmable as either an input or an output. The input points provide the ability to read back the output states.

Nine unique analog input ranges allow a wide variety of signal inputs. Three input ranges are jumper-selectable for all channels. Four programmable gains, selectable on an individual channel basis, enable configuration for additional ranges. Three data format options provide versatile host computer data handling.

Two input selection schemes offer single channel conversion or scanning of a group of consecutive channels. Conversions may be initiated in three different ways. A software trigger provides host computer control while an internal timer can be programmed for precision timing intervals to generate periodic triggers. The BNC connector on the front panel allows triggering synchronized to external events. Completed conversions are reported through a status register and/or interrupts, if enabled.

Two output channels generate high-level voltage signals for control applications. Each channel has its own 12-bit D/A converter and jumper selectable output ranges. Several format options for the data written to the converters provide user-flexibility. Analog inputs and outputs are connected to the boards via Connector P2.
