The Pamux B5 is an addressable digital brain board that can control up to 16 input or output points in distributed I/O applications. The B6 uses a 50-pin ribbon cable and the Pamux protocol.

The B5 is designed for use with a variety of Opto 22 I/O mounting racks, including racks that accept single-point digital I/O or quad pak digital I/O as well as racks with integrated digital I/O circuitry.

For stations on a Pamux bus to operate correctly, both ends of the bus must be terminated. Use part number TERM 1 or TERM 2 (shielded cable) for termination. See the Pamux User's Guide for more details.

Use the PAMUX Systems SDK to create a custom control program for PC-based control of the B5 and its I/O.
