Hardware Block Diagram * Depending on the version not all functional groups included in the block diagram above are available: 4 voltage outputs (U _0…3). ME-1600/4U: ME-1600/8U: 8 voltage outputs (U _0…7). ME-1600/12U: 12 voltage outputs (U _0…11). 16 voltage outputs (U _0…15). -
Page 11: D/A Section
D/A Section The DAC-boards of the ME-1600 family can output voltages (0…10 V, ±10 V) and optionally currents (0…20 mA, 4…20 mA). Each 4 channels are integrated into one 12-bit DAC-component (see also chapter programming from page 14 up). Attention: To guarantee a defined power-up condition please start your host computer first and do not power-up your external wiring until the driver started. -
Page 12: Voltage Outputs
Note: After changing the output range (e.g. from 0…10 V to ±10 V) the value written to the output register of the DAC will be newly interpreted and output immediately. For the pin configuration of the 78-pin female D-Sub see „Pinout of the 78-pin D-Sub female connector”... - Page 13 For operation of the constant-current-source an external voltage supply U is necessary, depending on the load resistor R and the current I to be kept constant. An extra charge of voltage of U 5 V for the output circuitry must be taken into account. Example: The load resistor R should be 1 kΩ...
