Eight (8) ADC and two (2) DAC channels for the UDB and EDB 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.

Output power enhancement for the UDB and EDB boards through eight (8) relay outputs.

 

8 relays with both N/O and N/C contacts rated to 250V AC or DC at 5 Amps. It is possible to drive a multitude of devices with these versatile relays. Each of the 8 relays on the board has a matching LED to indicate its state.

 

The relay coils are powered from an external 12V DC source but are individually controlled by the buffered control signals from the I/O module. External power can be applied either through the binding posts from a lab supply or through the DC power connector from an AC/DC wall adapter.

I/O enhancement for UDB and EDB boards with relay outputs and isolated digital inputs.

The board contains 4 Relay Outputs and 4 optically isolated input channels. The relay outputs have both Normally Open (N/O) and Normally Closed (N/C) contacts rated to 250V AC or 30V DC, both at 5 Amps. The relays’ coils are powered by an external 12VDC power supply that is capable of producing approx 350mA (about 80mA is required per active relay). The power supply is not provided with the board, but the Lab Module (‘LM’) version of the board has binding posts in addition to the  a 3.5 mm DC plug for easy supplying of the 12 V external power. The relay coils are controlled using the on-board ULN2003 driver via the I/O ports of the board. Each of the output port channels has an LED to indicate the relay output status.

The input channels are bridged wet contacts which are electrically isolated from all other channels and the I/O24 module. Each input channel also has a LED to indicate when a signal is present on the channel.

 OIB - Opto Input Board

Input enhancement for the UDB and EDB I/O boards with eight (8) optically isolated input channels.

 

8 optically isolated input channels to accept signals from 3-24V AC or DC. Each channel of the board is electrically isolated from all other channels and the I/O module, thereby providing isolated grounds to prevent incoming signals from interfering with each other or prevent damage the I/O module.

 

The board has a box header matching the connector of the I/O module. Each channel has an LED indicator to show the digital status.

 ULN – ULN2803 Output Board  (ULN2803 Switch Board)

Output Power Enhancement with ULN2803 High Voltage-High Current Drivers for UDB and EDB

 

The I/O 24 ULN2803 Switch Board is an accessory board that allows higher voltage and current devices to be interfaced to the low level logic provided by the I/O24 modules USB and IRP. The board contains a ULN 2803 IC and LED indicators to show channel Status.

 

The ULN2803 includes 8-bit TTL-input NPN Darlington current sinks. Each driver can handle a maximum of 500mA continuous (when using a single channel only) and can withstand a maximum 50V in its off state. This makes the ULN2803 well suited to provide an interface between the low logic level interfaces and higher current/voltage devices such as relays, solenoids, motors and lamps.

 CLB - Connector / LED Board

Terminal expansion board for the UDB and EDB boards

 

This board is designed to facilitate easy connection of thicker wires to the I/O module or to provide a buffered visual indication of the states of signals on one of the 8-bit ports. This board can also be used as a status indicator board at a remote location by a control application. The driver circuit and the indicators are powered from the 5V supply on the I/O board.
