1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section is intended to provide quick and easy
reference to the cabling requirements, configuration,
operation and supported commands of the BayTech M
Series Data Acquisition and Control (DAC) models. This
section describes operation from a V71 host
communications module.
The BayTech M Series Data Acquisition and Control
(DAC) models are versatile multifunction units used in
data collection and process control. Typical applications
include security alarm monitoring, HVAC systems,
medical data systems control, manufacturing, and
environmental data control. An M Series system
consists of a base unit, host communication module(s),
and various I/O modules.
The base unit is comprised of 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, or 16 card
slots, activity LEDs, service port, time-of-day clock,
power supply, and an internal high speed data bus. The
service port and optional service modem allow menu-
driven configuration of the main unit and installed
modules from a local or remote terminal.
The host communication module is the primary user
interface to the M-Series DAC system. This module
allows the user to connect to the main unit or I/O
modules and change configuration, send and receive
data, and issue data commands. The I/O modules are
used to interface directly to various peripheral devices
such as security/alarm systems, process control
systems, medical data systems, and environmental
control systems. The I/O module types include a 16 or
