GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The M218 provides 16 one-wire switches on a single wide M-Module adhering to the
ANSI/VITA 12-1996 specification for M-Modules. The M218 may be installed on any carrier
board supporting the M-Module specification. Carriers are available that allow the M218 to be
used in Ethernet, VXI, VME, PCI, cPCI and other system architectures.
1.1
PURPOSE OF EQUIPMENT
The M218 is a general purpose relay switch that can be used to connect test points on a device
under test to instrumentation or to switch factory automation and fixturing.
CAUTION:
This module uses latching relays that retain their last programmed
state whenever power is removed (closed relays will remain closed
until opened via your test program).
CAUTION:
This module DOES NOT have provisions for on-board current
limiting components (if input current can exceed 2A DC or 2A
AC, you must install external current limiting circuitry)
