Description

The E0601 is an IEC bus coupler (IEC bus adapter) for measuring instruments, made in the microproduction workshop of the ICE research institute in Bucharest, where it was designed [1].

ICE’s laboratory for electronic instruments for measuring electrical quantities designed all the institute’s generations of oscilloscopes, voltmeters, multimeters, signal generators, frequency meters, logic analysers, RLC bridges and stabilised AC power supplies; they went into production at IEMI or in ICE’s own microproduction workshop, and equipped industrial laboratories and production lines as well as teaching and research laboratories [1]. In the 1970s and 1980s about half of the components of measuring instruments were imported; after 1980 about three quarters were Romanian [1].

It couples instruments to the IEC 625 bus; IEMI also made the E0601 S adapter and the E0601 S-1 printer [2].

Annex III.2.10 lists the E0601 among IEMI’s products. It describes a microprocessor-based coupler that connected instruments with parallel data inputs and outputs to the IEC 625 bus, as talker, listener or both, with 64 parallel TTL lines on two 37-pin connectors on the instrument side and the standard 25-pin IEC 625 connector on the bus side [3].
