-BIT HIGH-DENSITY ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE
•
E a s y Mode Selection
- Selection of transparent and
simultaneous output modes is easily done via software
commands.
•
R e s e t is Failsafe
- Outputs reset to 0 volts following a power
up or reset.
INDUSTRIAL I/O PACK INTERFACE FEATURES
•
H i g h density
- Single-size, industry standard, IP module
footprint. Up to four units may be mounted on a carrier board.
•
L o c a l ID
- Each IP module has its own 8-bit ID PROM which is
accessed via data transfers in the "ID Read" space.
•
1 6 -bit I/O
- Control register writes, DAC writes, and calibration
coefficient reads are performed through 16-bit data transfer
cycles in the IP module Input/Output space.
•
H i g h Speed
- This IP model does not generate any "wait"
states. Thus, all data transfers proceed at maximum speed
with 0 wait states.
•
H o l d State Support
- This IP module supports "Hold" states,
if generated by the carrier board.
SIGNAL INTERFACE PRODUCTS
(See Appendix for more information on compatible products)
This IP module will mate directly to any industry standard IP
carrier board (including Acromag AVME9630/9660 3U/6U non-
intelligent carrier boards). Additionally, PC carrier boards are also
supported (See Acromag Model APC8610). Consult the
documentation of your carrier board to ensure compatibility with the
following interface products (since all connections to field signals are
made through the carrier board which passes them to the individual
IP modules).
Cables:
Model 5025-551-X (Shielded Cable) or Model 5025-550-X (Non-
Shielded Cable): A Flat 50-pin cable with female connectors at
both ends for connecting AVME9630/9660, or other compatible
carrier boards, to Model 5025-552 termination panels. The
unshielded cable is recommended for digital I/O, while the
shielded cable is recommended for optimum performance with
this module and for precision analog I/O applications.
Termination Panel:
Model 5025-552: DIN-rail mountable panel provides 50 screw
terminals for universal field I/O termination. Connects to
Acromag AVME9630/9660, or other compatible carrier boards,
via flat 50-pin ribbon cable (Model 5025-550-X or 5025-551-X).
Transition Module:
Model TRANS-GP: This module repeats field I/O connections
of IP modules A through D for rear exit from the card cage. It is
available for use in card cages which provide rear exit for I/O
connections via transition modules (transition modules can only
be used in card cages specifically designed for them). It is a
double-height (6U), single-slot module with front panel hardware
adhering to the VMEbus mechanical dimensions, except for
shorter printed circuit board depth. Connects to Acromag
Termination Panel 5025-552 from the rear of the card cage, and
to AVME9630/ 9660 boards within the card cage, via flat 50-pin
ribbon cable (cable Model 5025-550-X or 5025-551-X).
INDUSTRIAL I/O PACK SOFTWARE LIBRARY
Acromag provides an Industrial I/O Pack Software Library
diskette (Model IPSW-LIB-M03, MSDOS format) to simplify

programming language and can be linked to your application. Refer
to the "README.TXT" file in the root directory and the
"INF0220.TXT" file in the "IP220" subdirectory on the diskette for
more details.
INDUSTRIAL I/O PACK OLE CONTROL SOFTWARE
Acromag provides a software diskette of Industrial I/O Pack
Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) drivers for Windows 95 and
Windows NT compatible application programs (Model IPSW-DVR-
OLE-PC, MSDOS format). This software provides individual drivers
that allow Acromag I/O Packs and the APC8610 carrier to be easily
integrated into Windows application programs, such as Visual C++,
Visual Basic, etc. The OLE controls provide a high-level interface to
Acromag I/O Packs, eliminating the need to perform low-level
reads/writes of registers, and the writing of interrupt handlers--all the
complicated details of programming are handled by the OLE
controls. These functions are intended for use in conjunction with
the Acromag APC8610 ISAbus (PC/AT) carrier and consist of a
Carrier Configuration Program, and APC8610 OLE control, and an
OLE control for each Acromag I/O Pack model.
2.0 PREPARATION FOR USE
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Upon receipt of this product, inspect the shipping carton for
evidence of mishandling during transit. I f the shipping carton is
badly damaged or water stained, request that the carriers agent be
present when the carton is opened. I f the carriers agent is absent
when the carton is opened and the contents of the carton are
damaged, keep the carton and packing material for the agents
inspection.
For repairs to a product damaged in shipment, refer to the
Acromag Service Policy to obtain return instructions. I t is
suggested that salvageable shipping cartons
and packing material be saved for future use in
the event the product must be shipped.This
board is physically protected with packing
material and electrically protected with an anti
static bag during shipment. I t is
recommended that the board be visually
inspected for evidence of mishandling prior to
applying power.
The board utilizes static sensitive components and should only be
handled at a static-safe workstation.
CARD CAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Refer to the specifications for loading and power requirements.
Be sure that the system power supplies are able to accommodate
the power requirements of the carrier board, plus the installed IP
modules, within the voltage tolerances specified.
IMPORTANT: Adequate air circulation must be provided to prevent
a temperature rise above the maximum operating temperature.
The dense packing of the IP modules to the carrier board
restricts air flow within the card cage and is cause for concern.
Adequate air circulation must be provided to prevent a temperature
