Analog Outputs
These units consist of eight independent 12-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and amplifiers
for voltage outputs and voltage-to-current conversion. The DACs may be updated in a channel-by-
channel mode or simultaneously. There are eight channels of voltage output and eight
complimentary channels for 4-20mA current output sinks. The output voltage ranges are software
selectable. Calibration is performed by software. Factory calibration constants are stored in the
EEPROM memory and can be updated by disconnecting the I/O wiring and entering the software
calibration mode. Model RDAG12-8 can supply analog outputs of up to 5 mA on voltage ranges of
0-5V, ±5V, and 0-10V. By writing discrete values of a desired waveform into the buffers and
loading the buffers into the DAC at a programmable rate (31-6,000Hz) the units can generate
arbitrary waveforms or control signals.
Model RDAG12-8H is similar except that each DAC output can drive loads up to 250mA using a
±12V @ 2.5A local power supply.
Digital I/O
Both models also have seven digital input/output ports. Each port can be individually programmed
as an input or an output. Digital input ports can accept logic high input voltages up to 50V and are
overvoltage protected to 200 VDC. Output drivers are open collector and can comply with up to 50
VDC of user-supplied voltage. Each output port can sink up to 350 mA but total sink current is
limited to a cumulative total of 650 mA for all seven bits.
Watchdog Timer
The built-in watchdog timer resets the Pod if the microcontroller "hangs up" or the power supply
voltage drops below 7.5 VDC. The microcontroller may also be reset by an external manual
pushbutton connected to /PBRST (pin 41 of the interface connector).
