Safety Instructions Read these safety instructions carefully. Retain this user manual for future reference. Disconnect the equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or spray detergents. For pluggable equipment, the power outlet socket must be located near the equipment and easily accessible.
Chapter Overview This chapter provides an overview of the MIC-1816 specifications. Introduction Safety Precautions Accessories System Layout Platform Specifications...
Introduction The MIC-1816 is a standalone automation controller that features an integrated data acquisition module with signal conditioning, 2 serial communication ports, 24 pro- grammable digital I/O lines, 16 analog inputs, and 2 analog outputs for real-time mon- itoring and data collection applications. The built-in terminal block enables direct connection with the sensor signal line, saving installation space and eliminating unnecessary wiring.
The MIC-1816 controller should be shipped with the following accessories: 1 x Adapter 100 ~ 240 V, 60 W, 12 V without FPC DC plug 90° (Advantech part number: 96PSA-A60W12R1-1) If any of the above items are missing or damaged, contact your distributor or sales representative immediately.
Chapter Initial Setup This chapter explains the initial setup and how to connect the input and output signals. Chassis Grounding Power Supply SSD Installation Table Mount Installation DAQ Setup and Configuration Signal Connections I/O Signal Descriptions...
Chassis Grounding MIC-1816 provides EMI protection and a stable grounding base with an easy-to-con- nect chassis grounding point, as shown in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1 Chassis Grounding Connection Power Supply Connect the MIC-1816 to a 12 V power source, such as a power adapter. MIC-1816 User Manual...
SSD Installation Follow the instructions below to install a solid state drive. Please follow these steps carefully. (Note: The system is not compatible with a 12 V SSD. Only install SSDs with a power input of less than 12 V.) Undo the 4 x affixing screws and remove the rear cover.
Page 16
Table Mount Installation MIC-1816 provides an optional table mount kit for flexible deployment. Follow the instructions below for installation. To avoid overheating, the extruded heat sink must be installed on top of the system. Undo the 4 x affixing screws of the rear cover. Position the table mount in place, align the screw holes with those in the rear cover.

MIC-1816 features a built-in MIOE-3816 DAQ card. The Advantech Navigator pro- gram is a utility for setting up, configuring, and testing MIOE-3816. The system set- tings are stored on the system registry and used when Advantech device driver APIs are called.
2.5.2 Device Configuration Please go to the Device Setting to configure your device. Here you can config- ure not only the analog Input/Output of MIOE-3816 but also digital Input/Output. Figure 2.3 Device Setting Page After the card is installed and configured, navigate to the Device Test page to test the hardware using the testing utility provided.
I/O Signal Description Refer to Figures 1.1 and 1.2 regarding the pin assignments for the terminal blocks. The I/O connector signal descriptions are provided in Table 2.1.

Digital Ground. This pin supplies the refer- ence for the digital channels at the I/O con- DGND nector as well as the 5 V and 12 V DC supply. The ground references (AGND and DGND) are connected on MIC-1816. Counter 0/1 External Clock Input. The CNT0.CLK(CT0C) clock input of counters can be either external DGND...
Figure 2.6 Single-Ended Input Channel Connections Single-ended connections should only be used in the following situations: All input signals share a common reference point (AGND) The wire connecting the signals to the device is less than 3 m in length ...

If a floating signal source is connected to the differential input channel, the signal source may exceed the common-mode signal range of the PGIA, and the PGIA will be saturated with erroneous voltage readings. Therefore, users must reference the signal source against the AGND. Figure 2.8 shows a differential channel connection between a floating signal source and an input channel on MIC-1816.
However, the disadvantage of this connection is that the source is loaded with the series combination (sum) of the two resistors. For ra and rb, for example, if the input impedance rs is 1k Ohm, and each of the two resistors is 100k Ohm, then the resis- tors load the signal source with 200 Ohm (100 Ohm + 100 Ohm), resulting in a 0.5% gain error.
Figure 2.9 External Clock Source Connection 2.7.4 Trigger Source Connections External Digital (TTL) Trigger For analog input operations, an external digital trigger event occurs when the MIC- 1816 detects either a rising or falling edge on the external AI TTL trigger input signal from screw terminals DTRG0 and DTRG1 on the screw terminal board.
Analog Threshold Trigger For analog input operations, an analog trigger event occurs when the MIC-1816 detects a transition from above a threshold level to below a threshold level (falling edge), or a transition from below a threshold level to above a threshold level (rising edge).
Figure 2.12 Analog Output Connections 2.8.1 AO Sample Clock Source Connections Internal AO Output Clock The internal AO output clock applies a 100 MHz time base divided by a 32-bit coun- ter. Conversions start on the rising edges of counter output. The clock source and clock frequency can be specified via software to pace the analog output operation.
2.8.2 Trigger Source Connections External Digital (TTL) Trigger MIC-1816 supports the use of an external digital (TTL) trigger to activate AO conver- sions for continuous output mode. An external digital trigger event occurs when MIC- 1816 detects either a rising or falling edge on the external AO TTL trigger input signal from the pin of connector.
Digital Signal Connections MIC-1816 features 24 digital input/output channels that can be configured as input or output channels. The digital I/O levels are TTL compatible. Digital Input Connections Each digital input channel accepts either dry contact or 0 ~ 5 V wet contact inputs.
