• I/O Channels: 32 digital inputs and 32 digital outputs, independently configurable for diverse signal requirements.
• Input Characteristics:
  • Voltage range: 24V DC (nominal), with overvoltage protection up to 60V DC.
  • Input current: 3mA typical at 24V; compatible with dry contacts and solid-state switches.
  • Response time: ≤1ms for input state changes, ensuring rapid signal detection.
• Output Characteristics:
  • Voltage range: 24V DC (nominal), with maximum current per channel: 500mA (sustained), 1A peak (100ms).
  • Short-circuit protection: Automatic current limiting with thermal shutdown to prevent damage during faults.
  • Output type: Open-collector with external pull-up support, enabling direct control of relays, solenoids, and indicators.
• Isolation: 2500V DC galvanic isolation between I/O signals and the VME bus, reducing noise and protecting sensitive components from ground loops.
• Bus Interface: VME64 compatible (32-bit address/data bus, 40MHz clock), supporting standard VMEbus protocols for seamless integration with host controllers.
• Power: Requires +5V DC (2.5A max) and +24V DC (1.5A max) inputs; typical power consumption ≤15W under full load.
• Environmental:
  • Operating temperature: -40°C to 85°C (extended industrial range).
  • Mechanical: Withstands shock (50g, 11ms half-sine) and vibration (10g, 10–2000Hz).
  • Compliance: Meets EMI/EMC standards (EN 61000-6-2/3) and safety certifications (UL 60950).

• Software Configurability: Inputs and outputs can be individually mapped via software, with programmable edge detection (rising/falling) for input interrupts, enabling custom trigger logic without hardware modifications.
• Diagnostics: Onboard LED indicators for power, bus activity, and channel status; register-based fault reporting (overcurrent, overvoltage) allows remote monitoring of module health.
• Real-Time Performance: Direct memory access (DMA) support reduces CPU overhead, ensuring deterministic response times for time-critical control loops.
• Redundancy Support: Compatible with hot-swap backplanes, allowing module replacement without system shutdown in redundant configurations.
• OS Compatibility: Drivers available for VxWorks, Linux, and QNX, facilitating integration with real-time operating systems for low-latency control applications.
• Watchdog Timer: Programmable 1–255s watchdog with reset capability, preventing system lockups by rebooting unresponsive modules.

• Industrial Automation: Controls and monitors assembly lines, conveyor systems, and robotic cells, managing sensors (proximity, limit switches) and actuators (motors, valves) in smart factories.
• Aerospace and Defense: Integrates with avionics test rigs and ground control systems, processing discrete signals from aircraft components (landing gear, flaps) and triggering safety interlocks.
• Energy Sector: Monitors and controls circuit breakers, pumps, and valves in power distribution plants and renewable energy facilities (solar, wind), ensuring reliable grid operation.
• Transportation: Manages signaling systems in railways and metro networks, processing track occupancy sensors and activating warning lights or barriers.
• Marine Systems: Controls onboard equipment (thrusters, navigation lights) on ships and offshore platforms, with rugged design resisting salt spray and extreme temperature fluctuations.
