MSS 16 is a peripheral card
that belong to the wide family of professional boards for Industrial
ABACO® BUS.
MSS 16 is a typical analog multiplexing card based on Solid State Multiplexer provided of 16 double input lines.
For each analog input lines are used two sifferent multiplexer allowing connection of either voltage or current signals.
A normalized 10 pins connector allows the connections of many multiplexer cards as other MSS 16 or MRR 16 and RCV 420.
The analog input signals are connected to a proper low profile connector while the single output analog signal is connected to normalized A/D connectors. So the number of analog signals acquired by any grifo® cards as LAD 02, LAD 12, LAD 13, LAD 15, GPC® 188F, GPC® 550, GPC® 150, GPC® 883, etc. can be increased by adding one or more multiplexer cards as MSS 16.
A series of LEDs shows the card status and let the user perform a visual check of the currently selected input channel.
It is really remarkable an original addressing tecnique used on the card, that joins the management of all the multiplexer cards (MSS 16, RCV 420, MRR 16) installed on the BUS, into a single address.
Moreover to avoid any possible conflict on the input channels when a write operation is performed on the mapping address the selected line is selected and the previously selected line is automatically deselected.
