USB controller switches relays for ATE systems
The USB-M 48 USB controller allows users to control relays (up to 500mA primary current) directly from a PC via a standard USB interface.
Simulation is executed in relation to the ground and battery voltage potentials.
The card is able to both recognise and generate these conditions via its input channels which means the PXI and application sections remain electrically isolated from each other.
The PXI 3015 digital I/O board has 24 bidirectional channels and 16 additional input channels.
Each of the 24 outputs consists of a high-side switch, a low-side switch and a low-side switch with a series resistor on the output.
These switches are constructed as semiconductor switches and able to switch each channel separately to ground or battery voltage at the user's discretion.
The 24 bidirectional channels may be used as inputs as well as outputs.
24 relays are used to separate the output and input drivers.
Each of the 40 channels may be used as monitor lines referenced to either ground or the battery voltage.
The board was developed for the PXIbus.
The card has no configuration jumpers and can be automatically integrated in the target system.
The PXI 3015 has many potential applications in general control engineering and particularly within automotive engineering. Request a free brochure from Goepel Electronic ...
