GPIO

GENERAL PURPOSE INPUTS & OUTPUTS (GPIO)

Number of lines 10 I/O lines:

  • 2 differential inputs (DIN)
  • 4 isolated inputs (IIN)
  • 4 isolated outputs (IOUT)
Usage
  • The input lines can be used by the acquisition channel as:
    • Camera frame trigger source (area-scan only)
    • Acquisition sequence trigger source (area-scan only)
    • Camera line trigger source (line-scan only)
    • Page acquisition trigger source (line-scan only)
    • Page acquisition end trigger source (line-scan only)
    • (Quadrature) motion encoder input (line-scan only)
  • The IOUT 1 output line can be used by the acquisition channel as:
    • Illumination strobe output
  • All the input lines can be used as general purpose inputs
  • All the output lines can be used as general purpose outputs
Electrical specifications
  • DIN: High-speed differential inputs compatible with ANSI/EIA/TIA-422/485 differential line drivers and complementary TTL drivers
  • IIN: Isolated current-sense inputs with wide voltage input range up to 30V, compatible with totem-pole LVTTL, TTL, 5V CMOS drivers, RS-422 differential line drivers, potential free contacts, solid-state relays and opto-couplers
  • IOUT: Isolated contact outputs compatible with 30V / 100mA loads

NOTE: IIN and IOUT lines provide a functional isolation grade for the circuit technical protection. It does not provide an isolation that can protect a human being from electrical shock!
Filter control
  • Glitch removal filter available only on input lines used as trigger sources
  • Configurable with five time constants:
    • 100 ns, 500 ns, and 2.5 µs for trigger / page trigger / page end trigger sources
    • 40 ns, 100 ns, 200 ns, 500 ns, 1 µs, 5 µs, 10 µs for line trigger sources
Power output Non-isolated, +5V, 1A and +12V, 1A, with electronic fuse protection
