High current output
Eight lines at J3 can be used as high current driver s.
These outputs will switch loads to ground. Outputs are
controlled by Port B on the 82C55. Its address is 1.
Logic outputs are inverted. That is, when a 1 is written
to the high current port, the output is switched on and
goes low.
The output driver chip, U 1, can be replaced with a DIP
shunt jumper so it is like the other lines at J3.
NOTE: Outputs at the high current lines are not
compatible with TT L logic levels and should
not be used to drive other logic devices.
Each of the high current outputs can sink 100 ma at 50V.
WARNING:
External supplies using the high current outputs must
be tied to J3, pin 26 and NOT the power connector.
Failure to do so can produce a ground loop and
cause erratic operation.
The ther mal time constant of the package is very short,
so the number of outputs that are on at any one time
should include those that overlap even for a few
milliseconds.
Incandescent lamps have a "cold" current of 11 times its
operating current. Lamps requiring more than 50 ma
should not be used.
Protection diodes m ust be used with inductive loads.
Refer to figure 6-2
Do not parallel outputs for higher drive. This could
result in damage since outputs will not share current
equally.
Interfacing to an opto-module rack
I/O lines can be interfaced to an MPS-8, 16, or 24
position opto module rac k. L ines not going to an opto
module connect to a screw terminal on the MPS-XX
series boards. This feature allows you to connect
switches or other TTL type devices to the digital I/O
lines. The MPS-XX series boards accept G4 and G5
series modules.
Use the O PTO comm and to access and control G4 opto
modules. The LIN E comm and is used to access
individual lines on the STB-26. Add 100 to any LINE
command to access pins on the STB-26. For example,
LINE(103) reads pin 3 at J3.
A CMA-26 connects J3 on the RPC-30 to the MPS-XX
board. Cable length should be less than 2 feet for the 8
position rack and 18 inches for the 16 and 24 positions.
Excessive cable lengths will cause a high voltage drop
and consequently unreliable operation. Make sure you
connect ground and + 5V to the opto racks.
Use the following table to determine the corresponding
opto channel for a par ticular 82C 55 port:
Opto 82C55 J3
channels port Address
0-3 Lower C 2
4-7 Upper C 2
8-15 A 0
16-23 B 1
To turn on an opto module, a line must be low. A
module is turned off by writing a ' 1' to a channel. The
logic at port B, with the high current outputs installed is
just the reverse. A ' 1' at a line causes the module to
turn ON.
High cur rent outputs at port B are optionally
configurable as TTL I/O by replacing U1 with a DIP
shunt jumper. This will keep the logic com patible with
ports A and C. If opto channels 16-23 are used as
inputs, then U1 must be replaced by a DIP shunt jumper.
