VME-5504L

D32/A16 RS-485 VMEbus Repeater Lin

Overview

The VME-5504L is designed to use a single master repeater board which may be connected to as many as 16 slave repeater boards using a single pair of cable assemblies with cable taps. This configuration allows VMEbus slave I/O boards residing in one VMEbus chassis to be controlled by a VMEbus master residing in another chassis. The VMEbus chassis in which VMEbus masters reside is referred to as a master chassis, while the VMEbus slave boards reside in a slave chassis (no master in slave chassis).
