Selection Guidelines
-
When to choose: Applications requiring high-speed digital I/O with signal processing capabilities.
-
Configuration: Configure inputs for sourcing/sinking; outputs for sourcing/sinking.
-
Signal Processing: Use frequency measurement for speed sensors; PWM for analog output simulation; high-speed counters for pulse counting.
-
Compatibility: Fits all Mark VIe VME64x racks. Requires ControlST v6.0 or higher.
Operational Precautions
-
Wiring: Follow GE wiring diagrams—correct polarity for external field power.
-
Field Power: Properly size external 24 VDC supply.
-
Signal Processing: Test frequency/PWM/counter functions during commissioning.
-
LED Diagnostics: Green = input/output on; Amber = fault; Red = module fault.
-
Fault Log: Access 500-event log via Toolbox ST.
-
Hot-Swap: Remove/insert slowly under power.
-
Spare Stock: Maintain 1 spare per 3–4 racks.
-
ESD: Handle by edges with grounded wrist strap.
