USER'S MANUAL FOR 16 Channel Photo Isolator Input Board

16 Channel Isolator Input Board

Product Code: A16PHOTO
 
INTRODUCTION
The 16 channel isolator input board provides 16 opto-isolated digital input channels, which allow the input signals to be completely  floated  and prevent  the  ground loop.  There are 16 LED indicators correspond to 16 input channels, when the input  channel is activated at high status,  the corresponding LED is light.  The power source is user selectable from internal PC bus or external power supplier.

The features of 16 channel  isolator input board are:
1.
Support 16 opto-isolated input channels.
2.
LED indicates when input channel is activated.
3.
Internal and external power selectable.
4.
Built in screw terminals for easy wiring.
5.

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
2.1
Configuration For Jumper
Before you use the 16 channel isolator input board, you must ensure that the power supplier, jumpers, and connectors are set correctly. Observe the figure in the following,  the proper settings for the 16 channel isolator input board are described inthe follows.



1. Internal/external power selection



User may use jumpers to select external or internal power supply. When internal power is selected, the PC bus power +12V or +5V can be selected by the user. The external power supplier can be adjusted from +5V to +30V.

JP17 is used to select internal or external power supply of Input channels I10 to I17, and JP18 is used to select internal or external power supply of input channels I20 to I27. When JP17-1 or JP18-1 is shorted, the PC bus +12V power is selected, when JP17-2 or JP18-2 is shorted, the PC bus +5V power is selected. If we short JP17-3 or JP18-3, then the external power supplier is selected.

2. External power supplier
TB1-VEXT+, TB1-VEXT- and TB2-VEXT+, TB2- VEXT- are used to connect external power, the configuration is shown in the follows.



The power supplier of I10 to I17 are TB1, and the power supplier of I20 to I27 are TB2.  The external power range is from 5V  to 30V.



3. Isolated and Non-isolated



JP0A to JP15A and JP0B to JP15B are used to select isolated or non-isolated, the JPXA corresponding to I1X channel and  the JPXB corresponding to I2X channel. When JPXA-1, JPXA-2 is short and JPXB-1, JPXB-2 is sort, then the corresponds channel is in isolator mode. When JPXA-2, JPXA-3 is short and JPXB-2,  JPXB-3 is short, the power is supplied by PC bus or external power supplier.


2.2 Signal Assignments
