Introduction
The Digital Input / Output Module (DIOM) enables the
'Orbit Network' to interface with the outside world. The
module provides 8 general-purpose input / output lines,
housed in the standard Orbit Module case. Each line
can be individually configured to Input or Output.
Input / Output line are connected via a 0.5-meter flying
lead and a 15-way D-type connector.
This Manual
The manual describes the technical specification of the
product enabling you to connect to the DIOM. All
communication with the DIOM, including configuration
of the unit, is carried out using the 'Orbit Command'
language, which is described in detail in this manual.
