Pamux User’s Guide 11
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS PAMUX?
Pamux is a high-speed, high-density distributed I/O system that accommodates both digital and analog
brain boards and I/O modules. A Pamux bus can extend up to 500 feet from a host computer or other
programming device.
Pamux supports up to 32 distributable stations containing up to 512 I/O points. Each station is composed
of a Pamux brain board and an I/O mounting rack; the final station on the Pamux bus must also include a
terminator board. Digital (B4 and B5) and analog (B6) stations may be mixed on a single bus.
All Pamux stations within a system are daisy-chained via a 50-pin flat-ribbon cable, as shown in Figure 1-1.
