● VXI-11.3 Compatible. Works with virtually any computer or test language. ● User-definable, 48-bit parallel interface with bit, byte or multi-byte data transfers. Fully configurable to the user's needs. ● High-current drivers and input pullup resistors. Drives more devices over longer lines and inputs CMOS signals or switch contacts. ● Device configuration, user's IDN message and network settings stored in Flash memory. Easily setup and change the configuration. ● Lock feature prevents loss of configuration settings. Protects your digital IO configuration. ● Configurable with a web browser, with a windows configuration program or RPC. Easy network configuration from any computer. ● Includes ICS's VXI-11 keyboard program. The easy way to test IO configurations before writing a test program.
ICS Ethernet-to-Digital Interface Box 8063 provides a user configurable, 48 line parallel interface. Connects to any TCP/IP 10/100 MHz network as an VXI-11.3 device and is easily controlled from any computer or operating system. An internal Web Server lets the user change the network settings from any web browser. Use ICS's VXI-11 Keyboard Controller program for instant control from a PC without writing a program. The ICS Ethernet-to-Digital Interface Box 8063 is command and interface compatible with ICS's 4863 GPIB and 2363 Serial-to-Digital Miniboxes™.
All VXI-11.3 functions including device read, write, local, remote, clear, trigger, readstb, lock and unlock.

Signal Characteristics
The 8063's paralle I/O signals have the following electrical characteristics. All time delays listed here are maximums, all pulse widths are minimums.
Lines
48 Digital I/O, 2 Status Lines
Input Logic Levels
High = > +2.0 V @ ±10 μA
Low = <0.8 V @ 250 μA
with 33 KΩ pullup to +5 Vdc for sensing contacts.
Max High = 5.5 V
Input Timing
External Data Inhibit line SETS within 1 μs of the active edge of the EDR Input signal and resets after data is loaded. Data loading time for 6 BCD/HEX characters is 0.15 ms (typ.) after the 8063 has been sent a read request.
Output Logic Levels
High = >3 V with 3 mA source
High =>2 V with 24 mA source
Low = 0.0 to +0.55 Vdc, 48 mA sink
Output Timing
Data is transferred to the output 2 to 3 ms after receipt of a message depending upon data transfer mode and command.
Pulse
10-30000 ms., 50 ms default.
Data Stb
Output pulse width, 5 μs
Trigger
Output pulse width, 5 μs
Remote
Output level asserted when in the remote state
Clear
Output pulse width, 30 μs when 8063 reset.
Reset
Output pulse widt, 2 ms when 8063 power turned on.
Stable
Output level asserted after I/O lines are configured, approximately 3.7 sec after power turn-on.
