 EDM - Ethernet Digital I/O Module  (Ether I/O 24 DIP)

Development module for 24-Channel digital I/O on Ethernet networks.

 

The EDM (Elexol P/N Ether I/O 24 DIP) is an integrated, micro-controller based network interface board with 24 digital user I/O lines. The module’s firmware and hardware enable your devices or other modules to be connected to a generic Ethernet network and controlled using a command sent over the network via UDP.

 

Each of the 24 User I/O lines operates at 5V DC maximum levels and can be independently programmed as an input whose state can be remotely sensed via another network device, an input whose state is internally checked and transmitted when a change occurs, or an output whose state can be remotely controlled by another networked device.

The outputs of the module are able to source or sink up to 30mA per I/O, up to a maximum 50mA per port, to allow for direct connection to a variety of external devices

 AIO - Analog I/O Board

Eight (8) ADC and two (2) DAC channels for the UCP and IRP Modules.

 

The Analog I/O Board is an accessory board that provides an analog interface to the USB and Ethernet/Internet Digital I/O (UDB and EDB, respectively). The board consists of an 8 channel 10 bit Analog to Digital Converter (MCP3008) and a 12 bit Digital to Analog Converter with 2 buffered outputs (MCP4922).Communication to the A/D and D/A Converters is via the SPI interface of the I/O 24 module which is already implemented in the firmware.

 

The 8 channels of the A/D, 2 channels outputs of the D/A, and all the V_REF voltages are brought to screw-type terminal blocks for easy access. These terminal blocks will accept cables 0.5 – 2mm thick. The connection between the I/O24 module and the Analog I/O board is via an IDC link cable supplied with the board.
