General Information Extension Boards Concept Extension Boards Concept The standard Micro-GC was developed to be used in combination with an external workstation that processes the data and controls external devices like relays, valves, etc. In the process-market, there is a strong need to add extra analog and digital I/O functions to the Micro-GC.
General Information Housing and Mounting Options Housing and Mounting Options All extension boards are prepared to be mounted in a baseplate. (Table 4 on page 16) A standard DIN-rail is used to mount the baseplate on a flat underground. This makes it possible to stack all boards together onto one housing (with the Basic Extension Board mounted at the bottom) or to place each board in a separate housing (every extension board needing its own baseplate) and interconnect them via interconnection board cables.
General Information Connect Basic Extension Board Connect Basic Extension Board Be sure to switch the Micro-GC PRO off and remove the power cable before connecting any C AU T I O N cable. Use the included digital I/O and input cable to connect the Basic Extension Board to the Micro-GC PRO, as pictured in Figure 40-pin Digital/Analog Combined I/O Connector...
General Information Power Supply Power Supply All extension boards are powered by 12 volt DC. Two power supply options are possible: • 12 volt DC coming from the Micro-GC PRO. The maximum current is 500 mA (by electronic fuse). The maximum number of boards is three (3). •...
General Information Connecting Extension Boards Connecting Extension Boards Extension boards contain parts that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Ensure you are properly grounded before handling. 1 To connect Analog or Digital Extension Boards on top of the Basic Extension Board replace the four corner screws with four standoff screws.
