  • Page 45: Connecting Input Signals

    Input Circuit Figure 3.3. Input Circuit The input circuits of interface blocks of the PIO-16/16RL(PCI)H are illustrated in Figure 3.3. The signal inputs are isolated by opto-couplers (corresponding to the current source output). The board therefore requires an external power supply to drive the inputs. The power requirement for each input pin is about 5.1mA at 24VDC (about 2.6mA at 12VDC).

  • Page 46: Connecting Output Signals

    Output Circuit Figure 3.5. Output Circuit The output circuits of interface blocks of the PIO-16/16RL(PCI)H are illustrated in Figure 3.5. The signal output section is an opto-coupler isolated open-collector output (current source type). Driving the output section requires an external power supply.

  • Page 49: Digital Filter Function

    4. Function Digital Filter Function Using this feature, the PIO-16/16RL(PCI)H can apply a digital filter to every input pin, thereby preventing wrong recognition of input signals from being affected by noise or chattering. Digital Filter Function Principle The digital filter checks the input signal level during the sampling time of the clock signal. When the signal level remains the same for the digital filter set time, the digital filter recognizes that signal as the input signal and changes the signal level of the PC.

  • Page 50: Interrupt Control Function

    4. Function Interrupt Control Function The PIO-16/16RL(PCI)H can use all of the input signals as interrupt request signals. The board can generate an interrupt request signal to the PC when the input signal change from High to Low or from Low to High.
