CONNECTING AND POWERING A SYSTEM
Pamux stations are linked to each other and to a host computer or other device via a 50-pin flat-ribbon
cable. Opto 22 provides a number of pre-made cables, and other vendors also offer compatible cables
and connectors. Refer to Appendix B for a list of approved cables and connectors.
The minimum power requirements for each Pamux station are 5 VDC at 0.5 A. The final Pamux station
on a bus requires an additional 1 A for the terminator board. In addition, B6 analog Pamux stations
r15 VDC and -15 VDC power supplies with current requirements that depend on the modules
installed.
Make sure the 5V power supply is floating (not earth-grounded). Also, to benefit from optical isolation,
make sure the 5V common is not tied to the ±15V common.
Appendix B details all power requirements for digital and analog Pamux stations along with a list of the
current requirements for analog modules. Refer to this appendix for these requirements and for a list of
vendors that provide compatible power supplies.
NOTE: Always check all power supply polarities before powering up any system.
CONNECTING TO AN ADAPTER CARD
A Pamux system must be programmed through a host computer or similar device connected to the
Pamux bus via an interface card.
The most commonly used Pamux adapter card is the AC28, designed for IBM PC/AT systems. Up to four
of these Opto 22 cards may be installed in a host computer, enabling control of up to four Pamux buses
with a total of up to 2,048 points of I/O.
Other Opto 22 adapter cards include the AC36, used to connect a Pamux bus to a TTL parallel port, and
the UCA4, a universal Pamux bus adapter card. These adapter cards are described and illustrated in
Chapter 1.
Appendix B provides specifications on these and other Pamux components.
SETTING AC28 JUMPERS
The AC28 includes six jumpers. Jumpers J6, J7, J8, and J9 are used to set the AC28 base address.
Jumpers R8 and R9 are used to set the reset port address. Tables 2-12 and 2-13 show the jumper
configurations for these addresses.
