Here is what is available on the BOB....
ISOLATED SIDE
The primary side provides the following connections:
• 1 AC line power terminal block input
• 1 isolated 25 pin DSUB connector
• 3 isolated external sensor terminal block outputs
AC INPUT CONNECTOR
The AC input connector is a 2 pin screw terminal block. This input is used to provide 115Vac/60Hz line voltage to the onboard power supply. It is fused to protect the line feed in the event of an on board fault.
25 PIN DSUB CONNECTOR
The isolated 25 pin SDUB connector (P3) provides a means to connect a computer to the Parallel Port Isolator module. Connect the parallel port output on the personal computer to the DSUB connector using any standard, straightthrough serial cable.
AUXILIARY SENSOR CONNECTORS
The 3 isolated external sensor outputs are provided via 2 pin terminal block connectors (P4-6). The 3 isolated outputs are driven by external sensor inputs on the secondary side (P16, 17 & 18) The auxiliary outputs are TTL compatible. The logic states on the auxiliary sensor outputs follow the logic state on the auxiliary sensor inputs.
SECONDARY SIDE
The secondary side provides the following connections:
• 8 external sensor inputs
• 5 motor drive outputs
• 1 spindle drive output
• 2 SPDT relays
• 1 auxiliary power output
The secondary side also provides the following features:
• A selector switch to choose whether the remote sensor inputs are pulled high or pulled low
• A selector switch to select software good enable for the module outputs
• A selector switch to select motor drive X’ invert or not
EXTERNAL SENSOR INPUTS
Two of the external sensor connectors are standard Ethernet connectors (P15 & P16), and two are terminal blocks (P17 & P18). All 8 sensor inputs are provided with a termination switch that pulls them either high or low via 3.3K Ohm resistors.
Set the switch for the desired termination (either pulled Hi or pulled LO) using the figure below as an example to determine the proper switch direction.
All 8 external sensors are routed through a low pass filter to improve noise immunity.
