PAMUX COMPONENTS

This section describes and illustrates each of the components of the Pamux family.

AC28 ADAPTER CARD

Note:

Information on the AC28 applies to revision C or later. For revision B or earlier, refer to Opto 22 form 218.

The AC28 is a high-speed adapter card designed to link the Pamux bus to IBM PC/AT or compatible
computers. The AC28 is compatible with computers that feature a standard 8-MHz ISA bus.

Each AC28 can access up to 512 points of I/O. Four AC28s can be installed in one PC, supporting up to
2,048 points of I/O.
