SPECIFICATIONS Power Requirements Regulated +5VDC@ 500mA is required to power this board. WARNING Check the polarity and voltage of the external power source and connect the 5VDC and GND. Overvoltage or reverse-polarity power applied to these terminals can cause damage to the board, and/or the power source. POWER TERMINAL User’s Manual Page 2...
Enable pin. The card must be provided with a 5VDC signal to enable operation. This feature has been added to externally control the status of the outputs. An external switch or a Safety Charge Pump can be added to provide the enabling signal. When the enable signal is not present, output signals sent high impedance state.
CONFIGURATION JUMPERS Using the COM configuration jumper There is a jumper that allows you to select +5VDC or GND for the COM pins. 1-2: COM= GND 2-3: COM= +5VDC Using the Pins 2-9 direction jumper There is a jumper to select the pins 2-9 direction. 1-2: OUTPUTS 2-3: INPUTS User’s Manual...
Using the Pull-up or Pull-down selection jumper for pins 2-9. Jumper allows to change the input configuration for 2-9. Using the Pull-up or Pull-down selection jumper for pins 2-9 the input voltage is pulled through a 4.7Kohm resistor to up or down in this way: 1-2: PULL-DOWN 2-3: PULL-UP...
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAMS Bidirectional pins simplified block diagram Fig. 1 Simplified functional block diagram for the 2-9 pins. A Pull-up or Pull-down selection jumper allows selecting the configuration for the all bidirectional pins (2-9) when they are set as inputs. Dedicated Inputs simplified block diagram Fig.
10.0 WIRING DIAGRAMS While this board supports only TTL +5VDC signals, different kind of sensors, switches using different voltages can be connected using the diagrams that follow: Note. This board has two possible inputs banks, (bidirectional pins: 2-9) and (dedicated inputs: pins 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15), and all the inputs of the same bank have the same configuration.
