Introduction 1
Protocol Compatibility:
The BASIC I/O AD instruction set core complies 100% with that of the OPTO- 22 Optomux
™. With this ASCII character,
Originally the protocol only allowed for all analog or all digital I/O chassis. Depending on application requirements, each BASIC I/O AD can respond to pup to three different function addresses. With their abbreviations they are:
MC Master Unit Control function address
MD Master Unit Digital I/O function address
MA Master Unit Analog I/O function address
It is this multiple function addressing capability of BASIC I/O ADs that allows them to utilize, without modification, software developed for competitive products. Similarly BASIC I/O ADs can operate simultaneously on the same network with these products.
