DI-159 PLC Hardware Manual
Introduction
Digital Inputs
The DI-159 contains four digital lines (bits) to access and process external, discrete (on/off)
events. Connect switch closures or discrete levels with a maximum input of 30V and a thresh-
old of 1.8V. The inputs float at 1 level, about 3.3V relative to the "-" terminal, and require sink-
ing about 50uA to bring them down to 0.8V and guarantee a 0.
Digital Outputs
The DI-159 contains four general purpose digital output lines (30 VDC or peak AC, 500 mA
max) to initiate external discrete (on/off) control.
Software
StickOS BASIC is embedded in the device for easy programming and is accessible via any ter-
minal emulator program that can hook a COM port. The DI-159 includes a free Windows-
based terminal emulator software program to communicate with the device (available via down-
load at
).
The embedded programming environment (StickOS) provides BASIC language applications.
See
in this documentation for more information.
DATAQ PLC Terminal
The DATAQ Instruments PLC Terminal program provides an interface to communicate and
program the DI-159 in a Windows environment (Windows XP and above). See
for more information.
Other Drivers and Terminals (Linux)
The DI-159 PLC is compatible with any terminal emulator software that can hook a com port.
In order to program the device a generic driver should be installed first. Linux has two different
generic drivers, which are appropriate for a USB to COM port converter. The first is an
Abstract Control Model driver designed for modem devices, and is simply named
acm
. The
other one is a generic USB to serial driver named
usbserial
. DATAQ Instruments does not sup-
port non-Windows drivers or their installation, nor do they support any other terminal emulator
program.
