How I/OBus Works
Introduction
I/OBus allows a Momentum CPU to assume bus master capabilities over as many
as 256 slave devices over an Interbus cable.
How Signals Are
Passed
I/OBus operates as a logical ring, with signals being passed by the master over a
remote bus cable to each slave device in series. The slaves return signals to the
master over the same cable.
How Data is
Transferred
The I/OBus functions as a logical shift register. The application's entire data
stream, originating at the master, is transferred serially from slave to slave down the
remote bus. Each slave regenerates the entire stream before passing it on. As a
slave handles the stream data, it extracts the portion that is assigned to it and adds
any output data to the stream.
