The PCI-Express card with 32 digital outputs APCIe-2032-5 has 32 digital outputs, 5 V and a programmable watchdog. It is especially suited for applications like signal switching, ON/OFF monitoring of motors, lights etc., als interface to electromechanical relays, for automated test systems or as interface to machines in the harsh industrial environment.
Description
Features
Connector and software compatible to the digital output board APCI-2023 for the PCI bus
32 digital outputs, 5 V version, optically isolated
Output current per channel: 500 mA
Voltage range: 10 V to 36 V
Diagnostic report, through status register at shortcircuits, overtemperature, voltage drop or watchdog
Programmable watchdog for resetting the outputs to “0“, function release through software
Interrupt triggered through error
At Power-On the outputs are reset to “0“
Safety features
Optical isolation 1000 V
Creeping distance IEC 61010-1
Protection against fast transients (burst), overvoltage, electrostatic discharge and high-frequency EMI
Maximum output current for 32 outputs 6 A typ. (2 x 3 A)
24 V power outputs with protection diodes and filters
Self-resetting fuse (electronic fuse)
Short-circuit current per output 1.5 A typ.
Output capacitors against electromagnetic emissions
Fast demagnetisation in case of inductive loads
External 24 V voltage supply screened and fi ltered
Shutdown logic: If the external 24 V voltage drops below 5 V, then the outputs are switched off.
