AP408

High Voltage Digital Input/Output with PCIe Interface

The AcroPackTM product line updates Acromag´s popular Industry Pack I/O modules with a PCIe interface format. This tech-refresh design offers a compact size, low-cost I/O, the same functionality and memory map of the existing Industry Pack modules and a rugged form factor.

The AP408 monitors or controls the on/off (high/low) status of up to 32 devices. Each channel can be used as an input or output. All 32 input channels can be configured with interrupts for a change of state or level detection of any bit. The TTL input threshold includes hysteresis for increasing noise immunity.

In order to ensure safe, reliable control under all conditions, output operation is “fail-safe.” That is, the outputs are always off upon power-up and are automatically cleared following a software reset. Loopback monitoring of critical control signals is easy since the input and output circuitry are connected in tandem to each channel.

The AP408 is 70mm long, this is 19.05mm longer than the full length mini PCIe card at 50.95mm. The board width is the same as mPCIe board of 30mm and uses the same mPCIe standard board hold down strandoff and screw keep out areas. A down facing 100 pin Samtec connector will mate with the carrier card. Fifty of these signals are available as field I/O signals. Pin spacing and signal assignments will allow for 100V of signal to signal isolation. The AP408 maintains the same functionality and memory map of the existing Industry Pack modules providing a smooth transition to the AcroPackTM I/O modules

Features

PCI Express Generation 1 interface
32 digital input/output channels
0...60 V DC input range, 60V DC low-side switch outputs
Outputs sink up to 1A per channel
TTL-compatible input threshold with hysteresis
Change-of-state/level interrupts (up to 32)
Buffered inputs include hysteresis to increase noise immunity.
Interrupts are software-programmable for a change of state or level detection.
Loopback monitoring enables self-test and fault diagnostics to detect open output switches or shorts.
High impedance inputs prevent loading of the input source and minimize current.
Individual outputs sink up to 1A DC continuous. No deration of output current required at elevated temperatures.

Note: AcroPack modules are compatible only with the carriers listed in the accessory section of this page.
