observing the necessary safety precautions. All accessories and equipment
used with the product must be supplied or approved by AVL. The operating prin-
ciple of this product is such that the accuracy of the measurement results
depends not only on the correct operation and functioning of the product, but
also on a variety of peripheral conditions beyond the control of the manufacturer.
The results obtained from this product therefore must be examined by an expert
(e.g. for plausibility) before any action is taken that is based on the results.
All adjustment and maintenance work necessary on instruments when open and
under voltage must be carried out by a professional technician who is aware of
the dangers.
All repairs to the product are to be carried out by the manufacturer or qualified
service personnel only.
When the product is in use,an expert must ensure that neither the test object nor
the testing equipment is operated under conditions that could lead to damage or
injury.

NOTICE
Only shielded cables may be used with appropriately shielded connectors in
order to comply with the 2004/108/EC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive.
Power supply connections with standardized connectors and the exceptions
mentioned do not need to be shielded.
WARNING
Danger of explosion and injury
This device must not be used in any environment where there is a danger of
explosion.
CAUTION
Fire hazard: danger of injury and/or device damage
Note the device's degree of protection.
The device may only be opened by qualified staff.
If a foreign body or liquid gets inside the device, disconnect the device from the
power supply and have an expert check it before using it again.
Make sure that the device is supplied with the correct supply voltage and safe
power isolation of the supply voltage is guaranteed.
NOTICE
Always place the device in a position that allows air to circulate freely through
the device’s venting aperture.
CAUTION
Danger of injury
The device weights more than 18 kg, therefore make sure to use the appropriate
utilities for transportation.

1 Preface
1.1 General Information About the F-FEM-DIO
The F-FEM-DIO (Fast Front End Module Digital In Out) is a new type of FEM
(Front End Module). It is part of a family of Front End Modules that operate
together in a network. This F-FEM belongs to a new generation of devices for
which real time data communication is ensured in the PUMA Open system.
Compatibility FEMs Classic (older generation) and F-FEMs (new generation) can be operated
parallel to each other in the PUMA Open system.
Purpose of the
F-FEM-DIO
An F-FEM-DIO is used for the input and output of digital signals. The signals are
not transferred directly to the PUMA Open test bed workstation but via another
F-FEM type (e.g. F-FEM-DAC, F-FEM-CON, F-FEM-CNT).
Channels Each F-FEM-DIO is equipped with 16 digital input and output channels.
1.2 Use and Contents of this Manual
This manual deals with the I/O component F-FEM-DIO in the PUMA Open
system. It describes the hardware (pin assignment, power supply, etc.) and the
software (function in the PUMA Open system, etc.).
The information in this documentation is meant to be a source of reference when
working with F-FEM-DIOs in the PUMA Open system or an automation system
from another manufacturer at the test bed.

NOTICE
The installation (putting into operation) may only be executed by authorised AVL
personnel.
