The B3000 is connected to a SNAP B Series I/O rack,
which can hold either 8, 12, or 16 SNAP modules. Digital
modules (either input or output) contain four channels of I/
O. Analog input modules contain two channels and analog
output modules currently contain two channels. Both analog
and digital modules can be on the same rack.
A B3000 is capable of addressing a maximum of 32
channels of digital I/O and 32 channels of analog I/O.
However, the I/O mounting racks will not accommodate 32
channels of both digital and analog. The actual number of
channels available depend on the combination of modules
chosen. For example, the SNAP-B16M rack can mount 16
modules. Up to eight of these modules can be digital,
providing 32 channels of digital I/O. The remaining eight
module positions can be analog, providing up to 16 channels
of analog I/O. If all 16 modules are analog, up to 32 channels
of analog I/O are available.
I/O on the B3000 is divided into four addresses of I/O
(two digital I/O and two analog I/O). The digital addresses
are base+0 and base+1. The analog addresses are base+2
and base+3. Therefore, if a SNAP brain is configured at
address 12, the digital addresses would be 12 and 13 and
the analog would be 14 and 15.
B3000 I/O Mapping (Continued)
First Four Module Positions (0-3):
Each position can hold either a digital or an analog
module. They can be all analog, all digital, or any mix of both.
These four positions constitute the 16 digital channels of digital
address base + 0, and the first eight analog channels of
analog address base + 2.
Second Four Module Positions (4-7):
Each position can hold either a digital or an analog
module. They can be all analog, all digital or any mix of both.
These four positions constitute the 16 digital channels of digital
address base + 1, or the second eight analog channels of
analog address base + 2.
Third Four Module Positions (8-11):
These positions can hold analog modules only. These four
positions constitute the first eight analog channels of
analog address base + 3.
Fourth Four Module Positions (12-15):
These positions can hold analog modules only. These four
positions constitute the second eight analog channels of
analog address base + 3.
