General Purpose Inputs and Outputs

Number of lines

10 I/O lines:

2 differential inputs (DIN)

4 isolated inputs (IIN)

4 isolated outputs (IOUT)

Usage

The input lines can be used by the acquisition channel as:

Camera frame trigger source (area-scan only)

Acquisition sequence trigger source (area-scan only)

Camera line trigger source (line-scan only)

Page acquisition trigger source (line-scan only)

Page acquisition end trigger source (line-scan only)

(Quadrature) motion encoder input (line-scan only)

The IOUT 1 output line can be used by the acquisition channel as:

Illumination strobe output

All the input lines can be used as general purpose inputs

All the output lines can be used as general purpose outputs

Electrical specifications

DIN: High-speed differential inputs, up to 5 MHz, compatible with ANSI/EIA/TIA-422/485 differential line drivers and complementary TTL drivers

IIN: Isolated current-sense inputs with wide voltage input range up to 30V, compatible with totem-pole LVTTL, TTL, 5V CMOS drivers, RS-422 differential line drivers, potential free contacts, solid-state relays and opto-couplers

IOUT: Isolated contact outputs compatible with 30V / 100mA loads

NOTE: IIN and IOUT lines provide a functional isolation grade for the circuit technical protection. It does not provide an isolation that can protect a human being from electrical shock!

Filter control

Glitch removal filter available only on input lines used as trigger sources

Configurable with five time constants:

100 ns, 500 ns, and 2.5 µs for trigger / page trigger / page end trigger sources

40 ns, 100 ns, 200 ns, 500 ns, 1 µs, 5 µs, 10 µs for line trigger sources
