Allen-Bradley E14540-3 Circuit Board Card Module

E14540-3 is a Goss International 64-channel I/O board designed as an ASSY STD BUS PC component module for digital input/output in legacy control systems. Packaged as an I/O or input board, this 64-channel board slots into standard bus backplanes to provide distributed I/O for automation tasks in machines that use the Goss standard bus, such as printing-press control ecosystems. The component is lightweight, weighing about 0.06 lb, and catalog records note it as discontinued by the manufacturer, a status typical of older, fielded hardware. Variants and revision identifiers include E14540-3-A and related designations, with availability largely through distributors that specialize in obsolete industrial parts. In practice, it functions as a PC component module that supplies 64 discrete I/O channels to a controller via the standard bus, matching the catalog description of a “64-CHANNEL I/O Board” and an “ASSY STD BUS” designation. This description reflects its historical use as a primary I/O interface in legacy Goss automation networks and may be encountered in refurbish or replacement contexts where compatibility with existing STD BUS backplanes is essential.
