Multibus Boards

About Multibus Boards

Multibus boards are backplane crate systems that are designed to hold modules. Multibus boards are similar to computer automated measurement and control (CAMC) and network interface module (NIM) systems. A CAMC board is a modular data handling system which is mainly used in data acquisition. The network interface module (NIM) contains the system control processor that manages the operation of the entire of the system. IntelĀ® Mulitbus Boards use Intel 8086, 8088, 80186 and 80386 processors. There are many different types of IntelĀ® Multibus Boards. Examples include Multibus I boards and Multibus II boards. Both Multibus I and II boards are provided with jumper options that need to be set, but in Multibus II these options can be set by software control rather than using a conventional technique of jumpers or wire-wrapping. A multibus backplane is incorporated in an AGS+ modular router chassis. A split multibus backplane is mainly used in multiprocessor systems. Other multibus boards are commonly available.
