The B6 is obsolete and no longer available. There is no direct or similar replacement. Our
SNAP-PAC-R series family of controllers or
SNAP-PAC-EB series brains are often used as part of a redesign, but both the hardware and software interfaces for these are completely different from those for the B6.
Please contact Opto 22
Pre-Sales engineers with details about your specific application so they can help recommend parts for a redesign.
--------------------
The B6 brain board is an addressable processor that controls up to 16 analog input and output points using the Pamux protocol. For PC-based control, the B6 links to an Opto 22
PCI-AC51 adapter card in a host computer through a 50-pin header connector.
For stations on a Pamux bus to operate correctly, both ends of the bus must be terminated. Use part number
TERM 1 or
TERM 2 (shielded cable) for termination. See the
Pamux User's Guide for more details.
The
PAMUX Systems SDK is used to develop a control program for use with the B6.
NOTE: Older PCs with an ISA slot used the
AC28 adapter card and the
AC28 and PCI-AC48 Adapter Card Toolkit.
The B6 was designed for use with Standard (G1) analog I/O modules and the following Opto 22 I/O mounting racks:
PB4AH,
PB8AH, and
PB16AH.
