2,500 V , preventing your host system from any incidental harms. Wide Input Range The MIC-3756 has a wide range of input voltage from 10 to 50 V , and it is suitable for most industrial applications with 12 V and 24 V input voltage.
Board ID Setting The MIC-3756 has a built-in DIP switch that helps define each card’s ID when multi- ple cards have been installed on the same PC chassis. The board ID setting function is very useful when users build their system with multiple MIC-3756 cards. With cor- rect Board ID settings, you can easily identify and access each card during hardware configuration and software programming.

This chapter provides useful information about how to connect input and output signals to the MIC-3756 cards via the I/O connector. Switch and Jumper Settings Please refer to Figure 3.1 for jumper and switch locations on MIC-3756. Figure 3.1 Connector and Switch Locations MIC-3756 User Manual...
3.2.1 Board ID (SW1) The MIC-3756 have a built-in DIP switch (SW1), which is used to define each card’s board ID. When there are multiple cards on the same chassis, this board ID switch is useful for identifying each card’s device number. After setting for each MIC-3756, you can identify each card in system with different device numbers.
3.2.3 Channel-Freeze Function (JP2) The MIC-3756 provides the channel-freeze function for isolated digital output chan- nels. When Channel-Freeze function is enabled, all ports on the card will be locked so that the data transmitted (from the host PC) to the card won’t be transferred to the DO ports.
Pin Assignment The I/O connector on the MIC-3756 is a 78-pin DB female connector. Fig. 3.2 shows the pin assignments for the 78-pin DB connector on the MIC-3756, and Table 3.4 shows its connector signal description Figure 3.2 I/O Connector Pin Assignments...
Meaning that you can apply positive or negative voltage to an isolated input pin (V ). Every 16 input channels share one common pin. Figure 3.3 shows how to connect an external input source to one of the card’s isolated input channels. Figure 3.3 Isolated Digital Input Connection MIC-3756 User Manual...
Figure 3.4 Isolated Digital Output Connection 3.3.4 Channel-Freeze Function The MIC-3756 provides a digital input channel (CH_FRZ_IN) to enable the channel- freeze function. The channel-freeze function acts when the pin CH_FRZ_IN is acti- vated. Moreover, you can setup the input mode of channel-freeze function input channel CH_FRZ_IN as dry contact input mode or wet contact input mode selected by on-board jumper JP2.
Figure 3.6 Wiring in dry contact input mode Field Wiring Considerations When you use MIC-3756 cards to acquire data from outside, noises in the environ- ment might significantly affect the accuracy of your measurements if due cautions are not taken. The following measures will be helpful to reduce possible interference run- ning signal wires between signal sources and the MIC-3756 card.
