Overview
n
MPB-16PC, 16 position opto-module rack
n
Floppy disk drive
The printer port is IEEE 1284A compliant, unidirectional and bidirec-
tional, EPP (enhanced parallel port) mode, and ECP (extended capabili-
ties port) mode compatible. The printer port features backdrive protec-
tion and allows for much higher speed transfers than Octagon’s previous
standard printer interface. The data lines can sink up to 24 mA. The
printer port signals are routed through the PC Microcontroller’s
AUX I/O port when using the breakout board.
Keypad and LCD/VF display support for low cost operator
interface
For embedded applications, a keypad and display (KAD) board and
software are available to interface with an alphanumeric display and
matrix keypad. The parallel port on the KAD can interface with a
16-key matrix keypad and a 2 or 4 line LCD or vacuum florescent
display in applications where an inexpensive operator interface is
needed. The microcontroller cards are supplied with the software which
provides keypad scanning and display operation. The keypad and
display board has sockets for the display and keypad. DISPLAY and
KEYPAD commands in CAMBASIC and drivers in C support these
devices.
Industrial I/O is EZ I/O
Several PC Microcontrollers feature the Octagon EZ I/O digital I/O chip.
EZ I/O supplies 24 I/O lines which can be individually programmed as
5V input or 5V output. Each line can sink or source 15 mA. The 24 I/O
lines are divided into three groups of 8 with 10 K resistors that can be
connected to ground or +5V. The EZ I/O port can drive the MPB series
opto-isolation module racks directly, controlling input and loads to 240V
and 3A. CAMBASIC has several commands to support the EZ I/O port
when working on bit, BCD, byte, or word bases.
High current outputs
Model 6050 dedicates 8 lines as high current outputs, capable of driving
100 mA loads rated up to 50V.
External interrupt and reset are optically isolated for safety
One opto-isolated input causes a master reset; and the other causes the
system to generate an IRQ9. Both inputs accept voltages from 4.5 to 6
VDC. This could be used for an emergency stop, power failure, system
synchronization, or a similar function. Drivers are provided in CAM-
BASIC and C.
