In the standard configuration, the inputs operate on 24 VDC. Power to
activate the inputs is supplied from the Discrete I/O board.
However, with voltage from an external supply, any voltage between 16
VDC and 180 VDC, or 16 VAC and 120 VAC, can activate the inputs.
No jumpers or user setup are required. The Discrete I/O board adjusts
itself automatically to the correct operating voltage.
The ten outputs are electromechanical relay contacts with a current
rating of 5 A. at 30 VDC, 120 VAC or 250 VAC. Eight relay outputs are
normally-open, closed when activated. The other two outputs are SPDT.
Either normally-open or normally-closed contacts can be used.
The connection between the Discrete I/O board and the weld timer is via
a standard 8-pin modular connector, similar to a Category 5 Ethernet
connector. A standard Category 5 cable can connect the I/O board to the
timer. The timer supplies all power for the circuitry on the board. A
maximum cable length of 8 m (~25 feet) can be used.
The Discrete I/O board “intelligently” measures the voltages at the input
pins and adjusts the load resistances and logic thresholds to
accommodate the detected voltages. Any input voltage less than 140
VAC or 180 VDC will not damage he board. A minimum 16 VAC or 15
VDC (either polarity) is required to activate an input. An input will not
be activated by any current of less than 2 mA., regardless of nominal
input voltage. Recommended nominal input voltages are 24 VAC, 24
VDC or 120 VAC.
A light emitting diode (LED) indicates the status of each input. If an
input is ON, the LED lights brightly. If the input is OFF, the LED glows
very dimly or it will be OFF. A dim or OFF LED means that some small
amount of current is being applied to the input. If driving the inputs by
120 VAC from the solid-state outputs of a programmable controller,
some leakage current through the outputs can be expected. If the voltage
applied to the Discrete I/O board inputs is below 10 VAC, they will not
be activated.
If a DC voltage is used to activate an input, the LED for that input lights
red if the voltage is positive relative to the input common, or green if the
voltage is negative relative to the input common. If using AC to activate
an input, the associated LED will glow yellow-orange.
For each group of inputs, a green LED indicates which voltage level the
inputs are operating on. If the inputs are in low-voltage mode (24 V AC/
DC nominal), this LED will light. If the inputs are in high-voltage mode
(120 V AC/DC nominal), this LED will be OFF. On power-up, the green
LED will light (24 V mode) until a high-voltage signal is applied to any
input.
