Interface is suitable for machine control on PC/104 bus.
Press Release Summary:
With four, 16-bit D/A's for controlling motor amplifiers, Model 526 counts encoder pulses, measures analog voltages, and detects digital signals. It also generates analog voltages and digital outputs and has watchdog and interrupt timers. Its four, 24-bit quadrature encoder inputs may be differential (RS-422) or single-ended TTL. Counters may be configured as timers, and timers can generate single-shot pulse/pulse width modulated waveform. Unit has 8 digital I/O lines.
Original Press Release:
PC/104 for Machine Control
Model 526 for the PC/104 bus is a machine control interface. It counts encoder pulses, measures analog voltages and detects digital signals. It also generates analog voltages, digital outputs and has a watchdog and interrupt timer. Its four 24-bit quadrature encoder inputs may be differential (RS-422) or single-ended TTL. Counters may be configured as timers by counting pulses from an internal clock. Timers can generate a single-shot pulse or a pulse width modulated waveform at one of the digital outputs. The eight digital I/O lines are programmable as inputs or outputs and can cause interrupts when a state change occurs. The watchdog timer can control two solid-state relays. The interrupt timer generates interrupts at precise intervals. The 526 has four 16-bit D/A's for controlling motor amplifiers. The AD option adds 8 differential A/D inputs. Single piece price: $442, A/D option adds $86.
