Introduction

The M97 is based on the M-Module™ ANSI mezzanine standard. It can be used as an I/O extension in any type of bus system, i.e. CPCI, VME or on any type of stand-alone SBC. Appropriate M-Module™ carrier cards in 3U, 6U and other formats are available from MEN or other manufacturers.

The M97 is a universal counter that is perfectly suited for automated testing systems. Its extremely accurate time base together with the 100-MHz counter technology guarantee the highest precision. The switching points and hysteresis of the input signals can be programmed in a broad range. Optical isolation permits usage of the M-Module™ even in critical applications.

Safety:

THE M97 DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EN60950 STANDARD. THE MAXIMUM INPUT VOLTAGES ARE 60V DC AND 42V AC. HOWEVER, THE M97 WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HIGH-VOLTAGE FUNCTIONALITY. IF YOU NEED TO APPLY VOLTAGES HIGHER THAN 60V DC AND 42V AC, TAKE APPROPRIATE MEASURES TO KEEP THE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS OF EN60950.
