Using This Manual
This manual describes how to install and use the VMEbus remote I/O
scanners (catalog numbers 6008-SV1R and 6008-SV2R).
You should have experience in system development and integration and in
writing software for VMEbus master processors. You should also have a
working knowledge of the C programming language, including the concepts
of structures and pointers. Knowledge of Allen-Bradley 1771 I/O products
is helpful but not essential.
You need a VMEbus-compatible VME master processor to set up and
control the VMEbus remote I/O scanner. You install the scanner in a
standard 6U, full-height VME rack.
The 1771 I/O modules that the scanner monitors and controls depend on
your application. You also need an adapter in the 1771 chassis to allow
communication between the scanner and the I/O modules. You can use any
A-B adapter module or a PLC-5 processor that operates in adapter mode.
