12 Pamux User’s Guide
A host computer with a standard 8-MHz I/O bus linked to a Pamux system can
access eight digital I/O points in under three microseconds and 512 digital I/O points
in under 200 microseconds. The host computer can also access 16 analog input
points in under six milliseconds and 16 analog output points in about 15 milliseconds.
The Pamux product line is ideal for low-noise applications, such as:
• Robotics
• Numerical control
• Conveyor line control
• Sequence-of-events fault detection
Because it is an external high-speed parallel I/O system, Pamux is better suited to environments with
low electromagnetic or radio frequency interference. Noisy applications are better suited to I/O systems
that offer greater noise immunity, such as Opto 22’s Mistic and Optomux systems.
