1 DESCRIPTION
The one-wide CAMAC 183 module provides basic digital
output control facilities. This module is exactly
equivalent to the CAMAC 182 module except for the control
line drivers being active low rather than active high
output. Thirty-two individual control lines are provided,
each being sourced from a 75446 peripheral driver. These
control lines are well suited as relay drivers, each being
capable of sinking up to 400 ma loads. Each output is diode
clamped to +24 volts for transient suppression. Each output
is also pulled-up to +24 volts with a 100K ohm resistor.
The diode clamps and pull-up resistors may be connected to
+5 volts rather than to +24 volts by means of a soldered
wire option. Modules are normally supplied with the +24
volt option.
The control lines are addressable as two separate 16 bit
words for monitor and control. The setting of one or more
output bits within one or the other control words is a two
step process. The first part of the process is the writing
of a 16 bit clock enable mask which defines the control bits
that may be altered. The data contained in the second
operation of writing the control word effect only those bits
selected by the previous mask. The read/modify/write
operation is thereby avoided. The two step setting process
easily accommodates bit, selected bits, nibble, and byte
control in applications where separate devices or parameters
are controlled from a single module.
Upon clear command or powering-up, all control lines are
set to the off state - non-conducting and high. The clock
enable masks are also set off.

4 CAMAC 183 MODULE - FRONT PANEL
The CAMAC 183 module has only a N led (Red, stretched) on
the front panel to indicate addressing from the CAMAC
dataway.
5 SPARES
A supply of CAMAC 183 operational spares is maintained on
the second floor of the Linac Annex. Modules are normally
supplied with the outputs diode-clamped and pulled-up to +24
volts.
