Product Description |
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, PXI, 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. |

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. PCB manufactured with a
flammability rating of 94V-0 by UL recognized manufacturers |
EMC |
Tested according to EN 55022 /
1999-05 (radio disturbance) and EN 55024 / 1999-05 (immunity) with regard to
CE conformity |
Software Support |

M-Modules with closed metal housings can only be used on
carrier cards without the 24-pin board-to-board M-Module connector, i.e. 6U
carrier cards without rear I/O connection (VME P2, CPCI J4/J5). Please order
your carrier cards accordingly! |
