Connection Options
For the connection of the ME-63Xtend series to the ME-1000,
ME-1400, ME-630, ME-4600 series and ME-6000 series ready-ma-
de cables are available as accessories from Meilhaus Electronic
(see the following chapters).
Using individual connection cables the ME-63Xtend series can
also be connected to many multi-I/O and digital-I/O boards. The
I/O board requires at least two 8 bit TTL input resp. output ports.
2.6.1
Connection to ME-1000
By a special connection cable of type ME AK-D78/1000 two
ME-63Xtend boards can be connected to a ME-1000/64 directly.
If you are using a ME-1000/128: with one more connection cable
of type ME AK-D78/1000 two additional ME-63Xtend boards can
be connected to the ME-1001.
With up to 4 special connection cables ME AK-D2578/1000 you
can connect one more ME-63Xtend board to the previous
ME-63Xtend board (ST2) in daisy-chain operation. (Note: Only
one additional board can be connected).
With that you can control up to four ME-63Xtend boards
(64 channels) with one ME-1000/64 and up to eight ME-63Xtend
boards (128 channels) with one ME-1000/128. Of course smaller
extension boards are also possible.
Please note, that the digital I/O lines of the ME-1000 are organi-
zed in 32 bit wide ports, which can be configured for input or
output by port only. Because of this the ME-634 can not be used
in combination with the ME-1000. ME-X63tend boards used in
daisy chain configuration must be of type input (ME-632) or out-
put (ME-631/633/635).
