1.3 AcroPack Information – All Models
AcroPack IO modules are based on the PCI Express Mini Card
Electromechanical specification and are 70mm in length with an additional
100 pin field I/O connector.
The AcroPack is 19.05mm longer than the full length mini PCIe card at
50.95mm. It has the same mPCIe board width of 30mm and uses the same
mPCIe standard board hold down standoff and screw keep out areas.

Note 1: Applications requiring operating temperatures of 70°C to
85°C will require purchase of AcroPack Heatsink Accessory AP-CC-
01 with a minimum airflow of 200LFM. For temperatures below
70°C the module will require a minimum airflow of 200LFM.

Key Features
The AP471 module provides 48 channels of general-purpose digital inputs
and outputs. Inputs and outputs of this module are CMOS and TTL
compatible. Each of the I/O lines can be used as either an input, an output,
or an output with read-back capability. Each I/O line has built-in event sense
circuitry with programmable polarity and interrupt support. The inputs may
also operate as independent event sense inputs (without interrupts).
Outputs are open drain and may sink up to 15mA each. A 4.7K pull-up is
provided for each drain. Inputs include hysteresis and programmable
debounce. Interrupt, event, and debounce functionality applies to all 48
channels of this model. The AP471 utilizes state of the art Surface-Mounted
Technology (SMT) to achieve its wide functionality and is an ideal choice for
a wide range of industrial I/O applications that require a high-density, highly
reliable, high-performance interface at a low cost.
High Channel Count - Provides programmable monitor and control
of 48 discrete I/O points.
Programmable Polarity Event Interrupts (all 48 channels) -
Interrupts are software programmable for change-of-state, positive
(low-to-high) or negative (high-to-low) input level transitions on all
48 channels.
