Digital Input Circuit:

The digital input circuits have a 10 KOhm pull up resistor to 3.3 Volt, as illustrated in the figure below. This forces the digital
inputs to be normally high, and allows contact closures to be connected directly between the digital input channels and
GND which will pull the channel low when contacts are closed.
Digital Inputs are reverse voltage protected, and protected against over voltage with internal CLAMP DIODES

Flow Board can assume both MASTER or SLAVE rule in a MASTER/SLAVE environment.
Proprietary BUS protocol provides fast and secure communication between each MCQ Instruments device. Flow Boards,
Acquisition Boards and Gas Blenders can be connected togheter with a maximum number on each bus of 64 devices.
One MASTER is required on each BUS.
MASTER device provides with BUS setup function a scan of the BUS network searching for connected SLAVE devices
(each SLAVE device must have a unique address in the range 11-74, Address 10 is reserved to MASTER device).
Once scan is complete, MASTER device stores in non-volatile memory the bus configuration with addressed and rules. On
restart MASTER will provide BUS monitoring and it will be able to detect a failure of each of the SLAVE device, reporting it
as an alarm. In this case MASTER will continue to communicate with all other remaining devices.
