Hardware
Connections
The digital inputs and outputs are available via screw terminals or 10 way headers. The
headers also have power pins so that auxiliary modules can be powered directly from Netiom-
UDP. Each of the headers has the same pin assignment regardless of whether they are
inputs or outputs. The following diagram shows the pin arrangement:
Digital Inputs
Each digital input is connected to a CMOS gate via a 100K resistor. It is pulled up to the
internal 5 Volt supply rail via a 10K resistor.
The input can be directly interfaced to TTL and CMOS outputs. The input voltage should not
exceed 5 Volts. In addition the inputs can use clean contacts referenced to 0 Volts or open
collector outputs again referenced to 0 Volts.
If the driving modules do not share the same power supply as Netiom-UDP then it will be
necessary to common their 0 Volt lines.
The inputs are scanned with a timebase of 100mS. Thus the input signal must be present for
200mS in order to guarantee Netiom-UDP seeing it.
With the input high or open circuit Netiom-UDP will report it as a “1”, otherwise it will be
reported as a “0”.
