Technical description Chapter 8 PA 358 FUNCTIONS Introduction The PA 358 board consists of 8, 6 or 4 analog output channels. The analog output channels are equipped with 4 D/A converters of type DAC 2815BP by BURR BROWN. Each D/A converter has 2 output channels. These units generate a voltage of 0-10 V (unipolar) or ±10 V (bipolar) without external components.
PA 358 Technical description Chapter 8 Programming The board occupies the following addresses in the I/O space: PA 358-4 8 bytes PA 358-4C 8 bytes PA 358-6 12 bytes PA 358-6C 12 bytes PA 358-8 16 bytes PA 358-8C 16 bytes Each analog output channel occupies 2 addresses, the first address for the lowbyte and the second for the highbyte.

PA 358 Technical description Chapter 8 Watchdog and reset The PA 358 board is equipped with a watchdog circuitry, which you can enable through J24. Three different times are available (5 ms, 500 ms, 5 s), which you can jumper-select through J23. The schematic circuit diagram is as follows: Fig.
Technical description Chapter 8 PA 358 Unipolar / bipolar reset of DAC with J1, J6, J11, J16 The DAC 2815BP has a clear input which allows setting the output voltage at a defined output value after reset or after the watchdog time sequence. You can jumper-select (via J1, J6, J11, J16) whether the unit is loaded with 0000Hex (unipolar zero) or 0800Hex (bipolar zero).
PA 358 Technical description Chapter 8 The outputs are set to the following output value after a reset in bipolar mode: Output range Output set to 0-10V 0-5V 2,5V ±10V ±5V 0-20mA 10mA 4-20mA 12mA Adjustment of the current output channels If you use the current outputs, you can adjust them.
Technical description Chapter 8 PA 358 8.5.1 0-20 mA adjustment: Example for channel 0 (All channels are identically set up). Jumper J25 is set and J26 is not set, jumper J41 is set on 0-20 mA mode. • Write the value 000Hex on channel 0 •...
PA 358 Technical description Chapter 8 Operating the board Base address Adjust the base address of the board. Depending on the version, the board occupies 8, 12 or 16 bytes. Watchdog If you use the watchdog, jumper-select the watchdog time through J23 (5 ms, 500 ms, 5s ).
Technical description Chapter 8 PA 358 Fig. 8-5: Connection principle Setting the base address The board used is a PA 358-4C with 4 current outputs. This board occupies 8 addresses in the I/O space. Choose an I/O address with 8 free addresses in the PC. Selection: address 0300Hex Supervision per watchdog is necessary.
