Neuro units provide a means of combining up to 5 AXON boards into a single, compact rack-mount chassis. The NEURO uses a single processor board from the AXON family, to which it appends up to 5 AXON I/O boards. For example, a NEURO with 5 Analog Input boards would have 40 analog inputs, a NEURO with 5 Digital Input boards would have 40 digital inputs and a NEURO with 2 Relay Boards (the maximum allowable due to power supply considerations) would have 10 relay outputs. Boards can be mixed and matched (within the 2-Relay Board limitation) to produce various combinations that can satisfy diverse I/O requirements. Extra boards can be added later, as I/O requirements grow for the site.
NEURO Front panel
Front panel with an Analog Input board and a Digital Input board installed in slots 2 and 3 respectively. Note the configurations switches. These are the same switches as for the corresponding AXON units. Relay boards do not have configuration switches, so would not appear on the front panel.
NEURO Back panel
This photo of a NEURO unit shows Relay boards in positions 1 and 2. Digital boards in positions 3 and 4, as well as an Analog board in position 5. Note the slot identification numbers as well as the board-type (A, D or R) as well as the pinout labels.
The power and network connectors correspond to the equivalent connectors on the AXON units. In addition, the NEURO has a grounding terminal as well as a serial port to interface to specific two-way radios using proprietary manufacturer’s protocols.
