1.1
Features
The ES1650.1 Piggyback Carrier Board is used in VMEbus systems as a carrier
board for piggybacks. The board can hold two piggybacks. There are piggy-
backs for a variety of tasks, such as digital and analog input and output mod-
ules as well as relay modules with switching capability.
The piggybacks are connected to the carrier board via connector sockets. The
ports of the piggybacks are provided on the front panel via a 50-pin connector.
The signal pins of the front panel connector are electrically isolated from the
VMEbus.
The carrier board has a VMEbus slave interface - the board can be configured
for different address ranges using jumpers.
note
Some components of the board may be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic
discharges. Please keep the board in its storage package until it is installed.
The board should only be taken from its storage package, configured and
installed at a work place that is protected against static discharge.
note
The components, connectors, and printed lines of the board may carry danger-
ous high voltages.
These voltages may even exist when the board is not installed in the VME system
or when the VME system is powered off. Make sure that the board is protected
against contact during its operation.
Disconnect all connections to the ES1650.1 Piggyback Carrier Board before
removing the board from the VME system.
