Its isolated output channels provide 1,000 V of protection. Each I/O channel corresponds to a bit in a PC I/O port. This makes the PCL-734 very easy to program. Features • 32 isolated digital output channels • High output driving capacity • High-voltage isolation on isolated output channels (1,000 VDC) • Open collector outputs (up to 40 VDC) • D-type connectors for isolated output channels • High sink current on isolated output channels (200 mA/channel) • Suppression diode for inductive loads Applications • Industrial ON/OFF control • Contact closure monitoring • Switch status sensing • BCD interfacing • Digital I/O control • Industrial and lab automation 2 PCL-734 User's Manual Specifications Digital output 32 optically-isolated outputs • Output voltage voltage: Open collector 5 to 40 VDC • Sink current current: 200 mA max. • Isolation voltage voltage: 1,000 VDC Register format BASE+0 BASE+1 BASE+2 BASE+3 Isolated DO0~DO7 Isolated DO8~DO15 Isolated DO16~DO23 Isolated DO24~DO31 Dimensions 185 mm x 100 mm Connectors DB-37 connector for isolated Digital Output Power consumption +5 V: 330 mA typical, 500 mA maximum Daughterboards PCLD-880 The PCLD-880 is a universal screw terminal board for industrial wiring. It can be used with the analog or digital ports of various PCLabCards via 20-pin flat cables or shielded round cables with DB-37 connectors. Chapter 1 General information 3 CHAPTER Installation Chapter 2 2 Installation 5 Initial inspection We carefully inspected the PCL-734 both mechanically and electrically before shipment. It should be free of marks and in perfect order on receipt. As you unpack the PCL-734, check it for signs of shipping damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or fails to meet specifications, notify our service department or your local sales representative immediately. Also, call the carrier immediately and retain the shipping carton and packing material for inspection by the carrier. We will then make arrangements to repair or replace the unit. Discharge any static electricity on your body before you touch the board by touching the back of the system unit (grounded metal). Remove the PCL-734 card from its protective packaging by grasping the rear metal panel. Handle the card only by its edges to avoid static electric discharge which could damage its integrated circuits. Keep the antistatic package. Whenever you remove the card from the PC, please store the card in this package for protection. You should also avoid contact with materials that hold static electricity such as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam. Switch and jumper settings The PCL-734 card has one function switch and three jumper settings. The following sections tell how to configure the card. You may want to refer to the opposite page for help identifying card components. Base address selection (SW1) You control the PCL-734's operation by writing data to the PC's I/O (input/output) port addresses. The PCL-734 requires four consecutive address locations. Switch SW1 sets the card's base (beginning) address. Valid base addresses range from Hex 200 to Hex 3F0. However, other devices in your system may be using some of these addresses. 6 PCL-734 User's Manual Card connector, jumper and switch locations Label CN1 CN2 Function Isolated output SW1 Card base address E.GND (external ground) Chapter 2 Installation 7 We set the PCL-734 for a base address of Hex 300 at the factory. If you need to adjust it to some other address range, set switch SW1 as shown in the following table: Card I/O addresses (SW1) Range (hex) Switch position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 200 - 203 ¡ l l l l l l l 204 - 207 ¡ l l l l l l ¡ ¡ ¡ l l l l l l ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ l l ´ *300 - 303 ´ 3F0 - 3F3 ¡= Off Note: below: Switch Line l = On * = default Switches 1-8 control the PC bus address lines as shown 1 A9 2 A8 3 A7 4 A6 5 A5 6 A4 7 A3 8 A2 Appendix A provides a PC I/O port address map to help you avoid the I/O addresses for standard PC devices. 8 PCL-734 User's Manual Hardware installation Warning! TURN OFF your PC power supply whenever you install or remove the PCL-734 or connect and disconnect cables. Installing the card in your computer 1. Turn the computer off. Turn the power off to any peripheral devices such as printers and monitors. 2. Disconnect the power cord and any other cables from the back of the computer. 3. Remove the system unit cover (refer to your user's guide chassis user's guide if necessary). 4. Locate the expansion slots at the rear of the unit and choose any unused slot. 5. Remove the screw that secures the expansion slot cover to the system unit. Save the screw to secure the interface card retaining bracket. 6. Carefully grasp the upper edge of the PCL-734 card. Align the hole in the retaining bracket with the hole on top of the expansion slot and align the gold striped edge connector with the expansion slot socket. Press the board firmly into the socket. 7. Secure the PCL-734 using the screw you removed in step 5. 8. Attach any accessories (i.e. a DB-37 cable, etc.) to the PCL-734. 9. Replace the system unit cover. Connect the cables you removed in step 2. Turn the computer power on. Chapter 2 Installation 9 CHAPTER Signal connections Chapter 3 3 Signal connections 11 Good signal connections can avoid a lot of unnecessary damage to your valuable PC and other hardware. This chapter gives pin assignments for each of the card's connectors and signal connections for differentapplications. Connector pin assignments The PCL-734 has a DB-37 connector accessible from the card bracket. See the figure on page 9 for the location of each connector. Pin assignments for each connector appear in the following sections. Abbreviations IDO Isolated digital output E.GND External ground for isolated output PCOM Free wheeling diode common Connector CN1 Isolated input and output IDO 0 IDO 2 IDO 4 IDO 6 PCOM 1 IDO 9 IDO 11 IDO 13 IDO 15 IDO 16 IDO 18 IDO 20 IDO 22 PCOM 3 IDO 25 IDO 27 IDO 29 IDO 31 E.GND 12 PCL-734 User's Manual 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 IDO 1 IDO 3 IDO 5 IDO 7 IDO 8 IDO 10 IDO 12 IDO 14 PCOM 2 IDO 17 IDO 19 IDO 21 IDO 23 IDO 24 IDO 26 IDO 28 IDO 30 PCOM 4 Isolated Output Each of the eight isolated digital output channels come equipped with eight darlington transistors featuring common emitters and integral suppression diodes for inductive loads. If the external voltage (5 to 40 V) is connected to each isolated output channel (IDO) and its isolated digital output turns on (max. of 200 mA per channel), the card's current will sink from the external voltage. The current through each E.GND should not exceed 50 mA. If the current for all channels combined exceed 150 mA, return the current to the external voltage through CN2. The following figure shows how to connect an external output load to the card's isolated outputs.

Each output channel corresponds to a bit in the card's registers. To turn on an output channel you write a ‘‘1” to the corresponding bit. The card requires four I/O register addresses. The address of each register is specified as an offset from the card's base address. For example, BASE+0 is the card's base address and BASE+2 is the base address + two bytes. If the card's base address is 300h, the register's address is 302h. See Chapter 2 for information on setting the card's base address. Register assignments are as follows: 16 BASE+0 Write IDO bits 0-7 BASE+1 IDO bits 8-15 N/A BASE+2 IDO bits 16-23 N/A BASE+3 IDO bits 24-31 N/A PCL-734 User's Manual Read N/A APPENDIX PC I/O port address map Appendix A A PC I/O port address map 17 PC I/O port address map Range (hex) 000 - 1FF 18 Function Base system 200 Reserved 201 Game control 202 - 277 Reserved 278 - 27F LPT2: (2nd printer port) 280 - 2F7 Reserved 2F8 - 2FF COM2: 300 - 377 Reserved 378 - 37F LPT1: (1st printer port) 380 - 3AF Reserved 3B0 - 3BF Mono Display/Print adapter 3C0 - 3CF Reserved 3D0 - 3DF Color/Graphics 3E0 - 3EF Reserved 3F0 - 3F7 Floppy disk drive 3F8 - 3FF COM1: PCL-734 User's Manual
