Digital data acquisition card APCI-1516

control

The PCI 16 digital I/O card APCI-1516 has 8 digital inputs, 24 V, and 8 digital outputs, 24 V, 500 mA/channel with filters. The card is especially suited for I/O control, signal switching, PLC coupling, as interface to machines or electromechanical relays, etc. in the harsh industrial environment and thus is equipped with many protective circuits. Description Features Inputs 8 optically isolated inputs, 24 V Reverse voltage protection All inputs are filtered Outputs 8 optically isolated outputs, 10 V to 36 V Output current per channel 500 mA Total current: 3 A typ. (fused through PTC resistor) Watchdog for resetting the outputs to “0“ At Power-On, reset of the outputs to „0” Short-circuit current for 8 outputs ~ 3 A typ. Short-circuit current per output ~1.5 A typ Self-resetting fuse (electronic fuse) Overtemperature and overvoltage protection 24 V power outputs with protection diodes and filters Output capacitors against electromagnetic emissions External 24 V voltage supply screened and filtered Shutdown logic, when the external supply voltage drops below 5 V Diagnostic function for detecting short-circuits and overtemperature Safety features Optical isolation 1000 V Creeping distance IEC 61010-1 Protection against fast transients (burst), overvoltage, electrostatic discharge and high-frequency EMI Separate ground lines for inputs and outputs Applications Industrial I/O control PLC coupling Signal switching Interface to electromechanical relays Automatic test equipment ON/OFF monitoring of motors, lights… Watchdog Machine interfacing Software drivers A CD-ROM with the following software and programming samples is supplied with the board.
