INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE BOARD
The
PA 358
board is an interface between an industrial process and a personal
computer (PC).
It is to be used in a free PC ISA slot. The PC is to comply with the EU directive
89/336/EEC and the specifications for EMC protection.
Products complying with these specifications bear the
mark.
The analog signals reach the peripheral through the 37-pin SUB-D male connector of
the
PA 358
board.
The board has up to 8 analog output channels (voltage or current).
The screw terminal board
PX 901
allows to connect the analog signals through a
shielded cable.
The use of the
PA 358
board in combination with external terminal boards is to occur
in a closed switch cabinet; the installation is to be effected competently.
The use of the board in a PC could change the PC features regarding noise emission
and immunity. Increased noise emission or decreased noise immunity could result in
the system not being conform anymore. Check the shielding capacity of the PC and
cable prior to putting the device into operation.
The connection with our standard cable ST010 complies with the specifications:
- metallized plastic hoods
- shielded cable
- cable shield folded back and firmly screwed to the connector housing.
The use of the board according to its intended purpose includes observing all advices
given in this manual and the safety leaflet. Uses beyond these specifications are not
allowed.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damages which would result from the non-
observance of this clause.
