System 472
Function Card
Specs


System 472           Back to System 472
System 472 offers two types of Differential Multiplexer cards, one with a programmable gain preamplifier on each channel, the other with only a multiplexer to select one of sixteen channels.

32 Bit TTL Input - 472010           Back to 472
This card reads 32 bits of input TTL data as two groups of 16 bits each. A Hold output signal handshakes with the device being read. Hold is a 10 mS pulse of selectable polarity asserted when either 16-bit group is to be read. This feature is especially useful when reading digitally-coded levels from a counter, DVM, clock, etc., which, if read in it's transitional state, would result in ambiguous data.
An Enable input allows the user to decide when to update the card’s input register. All inputs and outputs interface with either standard or low power TTL logic. Jumper wires select positive true or negative true logic levels.

Specifications:

Inputs:               High-Level Input Voltage: 2.0 V min; 5.0 V max
                           Low-Level Input Voltage: 0.0 V min; 0.8 V max

16 - Bit Isolated AC/DC Input - 472011         Back to 472
This 16-Point card accepts on/off input signals ranging from 12 V to 48 V, ac or dc, providing isolation between channels as well as from ground.

Specifications:

Input Current:                  21 mA @ 48 V,  8.1 mA @ 24 V,  1.4 mA @ 12 V
Common Mode Voltage: 1000 V max
Response Time:               50 mS

Two-Channel Frequency or Period Input-472012         Back to 472
The Two-Channel Frequency or Period Input card accommodates inputs from tachometers, flowmeters, or other frequency-related devices. Frequency or period measurements or straight event counting are selectable by switches on the card.

For flexibility, each channel accepts two types of inputs. One set of input terminals, for TTL logic levels, is optically coupled. The other input is intended for use with signal levels that vary with frequency. An event zero-crossing detector accepts inputs from ± 200 mV to ± 100 V at frequencies to 100 KHz.

A crystal-controlled clock provides accurate time bases for measurements on both channels while each channel has its own 32K counter. After each measurement, the counter is reset. Frequency measurement involves counting the number of input pulses occurring between clock pulses.

The Two-Channel Frequency or Period Input card accommodates inputs from tachometers, flowmeters, or other frequency-related devices. Operating modes include frequency measurement, period measurement and pulse counting. Selection of mode, clock frequency, number of periods included in the measurement and desired polarity are all programmable.

For flexibility, each channel accepts two types of inputs. One set of input terminals, for TTL logic levels, is optically coupled. The other input is intended for use with signal levels that vary with frequency. An event zero-crossing detector accepts inputs from ±100 mV to ±100 V at frequencies to 100 KHz.

32-Bit TTL Output--472030         Back to 472
The 32-Bit TTL Output card provides two 16-bit outputs for driving TTL-compatible loads or other loads not exceeding output capability (30 V maximum; 40 mA maximum). Dual-rank registers permit the simultaneous updating of all outputs.

All outputs are open-collector gates with pull-up resistors to the internal 5 V supply for driving standard TTL or 5 V CMOS loads. Placement of a jumper permits use of an external voltage source up to 28 V. Outputs can then interface to high voltage CMOS logic or be used to drive relay coils, lamps, or other loads not exceeding 40 mA.

Output polarity of each group of eight outputs is determined by jumper placement. This allows the user to arrange logic polarity to any desired power-up/reset condition required by the application.

Specifications:

Open Circuit Voltage:    +30 V max
Sink Current:                  -40 mA max

Eight-Point Form 'C' Relay Output--472031         Back to 472

Each relay has a "set" and "reset" coil and is magnetically latched in its current state at power down. Eight control bits are used to address and control the relays individually. Dual-rank registers permit simultaneous updating of all relay states.

16-Channel Differential Multiplexer Cards      Back to 472
System 470 offers four types of differential multiplexer cards intended for analog signal inputs in full scale ranges of ± 5mV to ± 10.24V.

Card 470050 is the basic differential multiplexer used for measuring voltages over the entire range; the others offer alternate input configurations. Card 470051 provides open source detection, 470052 is equipped with shunt resistors for measuring 4-20 mA inputs and 470059 has direct input (w/o filter).

Except for 470059, the cards are equipped with two-pole, passive R-C filters having a terminal rolloff of 12 dB/octave. The -6 dB corner frequency of 10 Hz provides greater than 25 dB attenuation of input noise components at the 60 Hz power line frequency.

The open source detection feature recognizes open thermocouples, broken wires and high resistance or open input connections. Card 470052 has a 250 Ohm shunt resistors on each channel for sensing 4-20 mA input.

16-Channel Isothermal - 472081          Back to 472
The Isothermal Connector provides the means of terminating thermocouple input cables at the rear panel of the System 470. It can be used with any of the following analog input cards.
470050 16 Channel Multiplexer 
470051 16 Channel Multiplexer with Open Source Detection
470056 16 Channel Transformer- Coupled Multiplexer
472060 16 Channel Amplifier/Mux

The Isothermal Connector plugs directly into the input (edge) connector of the analog input card. Thermocouple cables are brought into 15 sets of screw terminals on the connector, corresponding to multiplexer input channels 1 through 15. A temperature transducer in the connector supplies a reference voltage to channel 0 that is proportional to the termination temperature.

The termination temperature and the type of thermocouple on each channel is the information the CPU requires to convert the thermocouple voltage to temperature. Since the conversion is under control of the CPU, thermocouple types can be mixed.

Specifications:

Reference Temperature:                 1 mV/oC (Channel 00) referenced at 0oC
Reference Temperature Accuracy: ± 0.25oC over the range of 10o to 45oC.
