short-to-battery
A fault state that occurs when an input or output pin is connected to battery
power, potentially resulting in high current flow.
short-to-ground
A fault state that occurs when an input or output pin is connected to system
ground, potentially resulting in high current flow.
switch outputs
An output that is digital in nature. It switches to battery and/or ground levels.
system noise
Electrical interference generated from external devices that affect the behavior of
inputs, outputs, and sensors. System noise can be generated from things like the
vehicle alternator, engine, transmission, etc.
trip time
The amount of time it takes a circuit to protect itself after a fault occurs.
VMM
Vansco Multiplexing Module
VMM system
A collection of multiplexing products that function together in a system through
software.
VMMS
Vansco Multiplexing Module Software.
wetting current
The minimum current needed to flow through a mechanical switch to break
through any film of oxidation that may be on the switch contacts.
