Reference Note
:
For detailed documentation regarding software and Digital I/O you will need to refer to the
eZ-TOMAS User’s Manual
. A PDF version is included on the DSA CD.
#6-32 machine screw (chassis to earth ground)
:
The machine screw on the rear panel is used to connect the chassis to solid earth ground. It can also be used to connect
transducer shields.
USB2.0
o
IOtech 652u and 655u require connection to USB2.0
: This port is intended for USB2.0 high-speed (480Mbps). In regard to 652u [or 655u], connection to a USB2.0
port on the host PC is required. The use of a
High-Speed USB Cable
is recommended. IOtech cable part numbers
CA-179-
1, -3, and -5
are 1m, 3m, and 5m in length, respectively.
The IOtech 652u and 655u both transfer acquired data to the PC via USB. When a computer has a board with USB 2.0
ports, an “Enhanced” USB controller can be found in the Device Manager. The Device Manager will also show two other
USB controllers due to the fact that USB2.0 circuitry includes 3 chips [one for the actual USB2.0 capable devices and two
for backward USB1.1 compatibility]. Thus a USB 2.0 motherboard can host any USB device (version 2.0 or lower),
assuming there are no defects with the board, system, and/or device.
o
USB 1.1 (obsolete) hubs will work on USB 2.0 ports, but cannot utilize USB 2.0 capabilities.
o
Hi-Speed and Full/Low-Speed USB devices can coexist on USB 2.0 hubs.
o
USB 2.0 hubs can be used on computers with USB 1.1 ports, but will not exhibit USB 2.0 capabilities.
o
Minimize hub use and keep USB cables as short as possible.
o
USB ports and USB hubs cannot supply sufficient power to a 652u, or 655u.
LED Indicators
ACTIVE
This indicator is on whenever active communication is taking place between the 652u [or 655u] and
the host PC. Note that the ACTIVE LED is on solid during data acquisitions.
POWER
This indicator blinks during device detection and initialization; and then remains on solid, as long
as there is sufficient power. If there is insufficient power the POWER LED will go off.
5 Channel TC / RTD Connector
(655u only)
The rear panel of the 655u includes a removable block connector that provides a means of connecting up to five
thermocouples, or five RTDs, or a combination of TCs and RTDs, not to exceed five.
