EOL - Isolated Digital Input with Interrupts (PCIe Bus Interface) Product phased out. Please call systerra for replacement options.
|
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.
AP440-XE-LF modules provide 32 optically isolated inputs to safely monitor a wide range of digital input voltage levels.
Isolation protects your computer system from noise, transient signals, and field wiring faults. The inputs are grouped into four 8-channel ports. Ports are isolated from the logic and each other.
Change-of-state interrupts are supported using paired channels. Debounce eliminates spurious interrupts from noise and switching transients for error-free edge detection.
Closed-loop monitoring of critical control signals is easily accomplished using the AP440-XE-LF in conjunction with Acromag’s AP445E-LF digital output module.
The AP440 series modules are 70mm long, this is 19.05mm longer than the full length mini PCIe card at 50.95mm. The boards width is the same as mPCIe board of 30mm and they use 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 port to port isolation. Logic and field lines are isolated from each other for voltages up to 250V AC or DC on a continuous basis. The AP440 series maintains the same functionality and memory map of the existing Industry Pack modules providing a smooth transition to the AcroPack I/O modules.
Features
- PCI Express Generation 1 interface
