PMC230A modules have eight 16-bit D/A converters (DACs) to provide highly-accurate analog voltage outputs. A unique two-piece board design brings the proven reliability of Acromag’s Industry Pack (IP) A/D modules to a PMC format. An IP230A module is embedded on a PMC interface card that maintains maximum performance and transparent communication to the host.
Jumper-selectable output ranges give you the choice of unipolar or bipolar voltage output. And for greater flexibility, the PMC230 module accepts conversion start triggers from software commands, or from external sources for synchronization to specific events.
Features
- 8 analog voltage output channels
- Individual 16-bit D/A converters per channel
- 10 µS settling time (100 KHz throughput)
- Three output ranges: ±5 V, ±10 V, 0...10 V (jumper-selectable)
- Two trigger modes (software or external trigger)
- External trigger output
- High load capability (5 mA output current)
- High channel density saves card cage slots.
- Internally stored calibration coefficients ensure accuracy.
- Flexible output control allows single cycle updating of individual channels or all channels simultaneously.
- Hardware jumpers allow output range selection on an individual channel basis.
- 0...+70°C temperature range
