RDAG12-8 Manual

ISOV+ and ISOGND:

This is the power connection for the isolator section that may be supplied
from the computer's +12VDC supply via a pair of wires  on the RS-485
network or  from a central power supply.  This power is independent of
"local power". The voltage level can be from 7.5 VDC to 35 VDC.  (An
on-board voltage regulator regulates the power to +5 VDC.) RDAG12-8
will require only about 5 mA of current when idling and ~33mA current
when  data  is  being  transmitted  so  any  loading  effects  on  the  computer
power (if used) will be low.

Note

If separate power is not available, ISOV+ and ISOGND must be jumpered to the "local power"
terminals, which defeats the optical isolation. 

RS485+ and RS485-:

These are the terminals for RS485 communications (TRx+ and TRx-).

APPLV+:

This  terminal  is  a  single  common  pin  for  the  cathodes  of  the  inductive
suppression diodes included in the 7 Digital Outputs. If a Digital Output is
controlling a Relay coil a suppression diode (aka flyback diode) is required
to limit the voltage spike at the output pin when the Relay coil is turned off.
If different Relay coil voltages are controlled at the Digital outputs then
only the highest voltage can be connected to the APPLV+ pin.

APG0-7:

These  terminals  are  for  use  with  the  High  Power  version  of  the  Pod
(RDAG12-8H). Connect all load returns to these terminals.

AOGND:

These terminals are for use with the Low Power version of the Pod. Use
these for returns of voltage outputs as well as current outputs.

GND:

These  are  general  purpose  grounds  which  can  be  used  for  Digital  Bit
returns, Power return connections, and so on.

To ensure that there is minimum susceptibility to EMI and minimum radiation, it is important that
there be a positive chassis ground.  Also, proper EMI cabling techniques (cable connected to chassis
ground, twisted pair wiring, and, in extreme cases, ferrite-level of EMI protection) may be needed
for input/output wiring.

VOUT0-7:

Analog Output Voltage signal, use in conjunction with AOGND

IOUT0-7:

4-20mA Current Sink Output signal, use in conjunction with an external
power supply (5.5V to 30V).
