Description
The B3000 is a high-performance brain used to remotely control a mix of both analog and digital I/O modules using Opto 22’s
Snap
“B Series”I/O mounting racks. The B3000 can be used with either an Opto 22 controller or a host computer. On-board
intelligence enables many distributed control functions. Since SNAP analog and digital modules have the same footprint, the
B3000 brain can be combined with Snap “B Series” racks to provide the world’s most powerful and sophisticated I/O handling
systems.
The B3000 communicates with a host processor serially over RS485 twisted pair wiring and supports both the advanced
Mistic
protocol and the industry-standard Optomux
protocol. Both protocols can support high-speed communication (115 Kbaud).
Utilizing the Mistic protocol, advanced I/O processing — including PID calculations (100 millisecond update), pulse width duration
measurements (100 microsecond resolution), and high-speed counting (20,000 Hz) — can all be accomplished on separate channels
of the same I/O mounting rack. See page 3 for a complete list of mistic functions.
