2. Electrical Characteristics

  • Input Specifications:
    • Voltage Ranges: Selectable per byte boundary: 5V, 12V, 24–28V, 48V, or 125V DC (voltage sensing only) .
    • Input Impedance: ≥10 MΩ .
    • Debounce: Programmable (0–16.384 ms) .
  • Output Specifications:
    • Max Output Voltage: 50V DC .
    • Leakage Current: ≤500 μA at 50V .
    • Pull-Up Resistors: Configurable via jumpers (external or VME +5V) .

3. Data Handling & Addressing

  • Data Transfer: 8/16/32-bit modes .
  • Addressing Schemes: A16 (short I/O) or A24 (standard) .
  • Control Registers:
    • CSR (Control/Status Register): Manages built-in test (BIT), debounce, and test modes .

Functional Features

1. Built-in Test (BIT)

  • Online/Offline Testing:
    • Inputs/outputs can be switched to test mode via CSR, enabling self-diagnosis without affecting field operations .
    • Test registers mirror input/output addresses for direct read/write validation .
  • Fault Tolerance: Automatic isolation during faults; watchdog timer support .

2. Optical Isolation & Safety

  • High-Noise Immunity: Optocouplers eliminate ground loops in industrial environments .
  • Compliance: CE Mark, RoHS, CISPR 22 EMC .

3. Configuration Flexibility

  • Byte-Level Customization: Input sensing mode (voltage/contact) and output pull-up voltage configurable per 8-channel group .
  • Contact Sensing: Requires user-installed SIP resistors; supports 5–125V DC .

4. Environmental Resilience

  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to +60°C (storage: -55°C to +85°C) .
  • Humidity Tolerance: 20–80% non-condensing .
  • MTBF: 463,909 hours (Bellcore standard) .
