Description
AI
n
+ AI
n
- Input
Differential analog input channels.
Channels 0 to 3 are for load-cell
transducer inputs
(1) (2)
, and channels 4 to 7
are for general purpose analog inputs.
VEX
n
+ VEX
n
- Output
Analog outputs for transducer voltage
excitation, in selectable ranges of 2.5V or
10V.
Connect one excitation source to only one
load-cell transducer; sharing a common
wiring between transducers will degrade
gain accuracy.
Up to four 120-ohm load-cells can be
connected to one PCI-9524. Load-cells
with larger impedance can also be used.
VEX_SEN
n
+ VEX_SEN
n
+ Input
Remote-sense analog inputs for
transducer excitation sensing.
Always connect V to VEXn+,
VEX_SENn- to VEXn-, and as close as
possible to transducers excitation
terminals.

outputs.
As Clock signal in single phase mode.
As Clock signal in CLK/DIR mode.
As CW signal in CW/CCW mode.
PULSE
n
_B+ PULSE
n
_B- Output
Pulse-command differential voltage
outputs.
Unused in single phase mode.
As DIR signal in CLK/DIR mode.
As CWW signal in CW/CCW mode.
