FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
Model
ROB-24 and ROB-24H are a 24-channel relay-output cards that
can be controlled by digital inputs from Chassis Plans IOD-Series
digital I/O cards or other manufacturer's digital output
cards. The card can be powered by either +5 VDC (ROB-24
or ROB-24H) or by 125 VAC (ROB-24-1 or ROB-24H-1).
In the former case, we can also supply a seven-foot cable,
CAB-MLX, that mates with standard molex connectors used
in personal computer power distribution. For operation from
AC-power inputs, the "-1" versions of these cards,
screw terminals for the AC-power input and a power transformer
are included. The cards also contain 24 LED's, one associated
with each relay. These illuminate when their associated
relays actuate.
Each
relay provides normally-closed and normally-open contacts
(SPDT). If you need dual Form C contacts (DPDT), you may specify
ROB-24-2 or ROB-24H-2.
I/O
connectors for 50-pin connections (from Chassis Plans' IOD-Series
cards) and 37-pin connectors are provided. The latter provide
means to use these relay cards with other manufacturer's cards
if they use 37-pin connections. Interconnection to the digital
output card can be via Chassis Plans' model CAB50F-xx ribbon cable
to Chassis Plans' I/O cards or via CAB37-xx ribbon cable to other
I/O cards. The relays are actuated by a 5-volt logic signal
applied to appropriate pins of either the 50-pin or the 37-pin
connector. If the digital-output card to be used has an unbuffered
output (e.g., direct output from a type 8255 Programmable
Peripheral Interface chip), then specify ROB-24-3 or ROB-24H-3.
(Note: When Option 3 is selected, the relays will be
actuated when power is applied to the card.) Thus, by
use of ROB-24 or ROB-24H, you can realize simple, inexpensive
control of heaters, fans, lights, etc.
The
ROB-24 may be interfaced to any port of any Chassis Plans IOD-Series
card. Normally, digital inputs are pulled down to ground through
680 ohm resistors. However, if you prefer that they be pulled
up to +5VDC, you can specify ROB-24-5 or ROB-24H-5.
You can have multiple options in the card. For example, if
you need AC-powered capability, DPDT relay output connections,
and signals will come from an unbuffered digital output card,
then the model number becomes: ROB-24-1-2-3
PROGRAMMING
Programming
ROB-24 is done by simple OUT statements. For example, if the
card is to be controlled by an IOD-24E located at base address
hex 310, BASIC statements would be used as follows:
10
OUT &H313,& H80
- 'Sets
the ports to use as outputs
20
OUT &H310,1
- 'Activates
port A, bit 0 (relay 0)
30
OUT &H311,16
- 'Activates
port B, bit 4 (relay 21)
PIN
CONNECTIONS
Two
connectors are provided for control inputs; one in 50-pin
format and one in 37-pin format. For 50-pin connectors, the
mating connector is AMP 1-499776-0 or equivalent. For 37-pin
connectors, the mating connector is an AMP 747304-1 or equivalent.
