Overview

The XVME-244 Digital I/O Module is an isolated 64-channel, digital I/O module designed for use in

VMEbus systems.

Thirty-two input channels and thirty-two output channels are provided, arranged in groups of eight, optically-isolated from the others and from the VMEbus circuitry.

The 64 I/O channels are arranged to form eight, byte wide I/O registers. The I/O registers are addressed consecutively, allowing the input and output channels to be accessed as either bytes or words.

To add to the integrity of the system, default initialization disables all outputs both during system power-up and during a software reset or SYSFAIL.

This module is ideally suited for interfacing to pushbutton or relay contacts. 

It contains input debouncing circuitry which eliminates the effects of contact bounce from such inputs.

The XVME-244 provides four filtered inputs for those applications where filtering is desired for a particular input. 

One filtered input is provided for each input group as a read-only register containing  the state of

the filtered input. 

These registers may be accessed as bytes or as 16-bit words.
