FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
FLEXIBILITY
The following functions
are available in many configurations giving the user the ability
to specify exactly what’s needed. Interrupts are individually or globally enabled or
disabled via software.
A status register is provided to determine the interrupt source.
ANALOG INPUTS
The Analog Inputs feature software programmable gain with ranges of 0-5V, 0-10V, ±5V,
and ±10V. The configuration employs an instrumentation pre-amplifier per
channel which allows for differential inputs, 200V Common Mode Rejection, high input
impedance, and optional factory channel by channel pre-settable gain (1-200) to accommodate low-level inputs from sensors. Inputs 4-20mA are available as a factory-installable option.
COUNTER TIMERS
The circuit uses an 82C54 (3 sixteen bit counter/timers). The user has access to each
counter/timer’s gate, clock, and output signals. The output of counter two can be used to
generate an interrupt. The software package supports counting events, frequency output,
pulse and frequency measurement.
DIGITAL I/O
The circuit uses an 82C55A PPI with mode 0 supported. Ports A and B (16 lines) are
buffered and pulled up to 5V. Port C features Change of State detection.
SOFTWARE
The package includes a setup program detailing all jumper settings. Also included are IRQ drivers, samples for DOS, and utilities for Windows operating systems (Windows 98, NT/2000, and NT/XP). Full register-level support for use in custom real-time or embedded operating systems.
