4 or 8
high-speed counters

or

16 digital IN +
16 digital OUT photo-coupled
 event-driven

IPC BUS

  • 16 digital inputs + 16 digital outputs, suitable for a slot of an IPC Leomatic.

  • These inputs may be used as general purpose I/O as well as channels for high-speed counters (2 inputs for each channel).

  • Each channel of an high-speed counter is configurable via software in the following ways:

    • Incremental Encoder counter (PHA, PHB)

    • UP/DOWN counter (PULSE, DIR)

    • UP counter (PULSE, ENAB)

  • Based on DSP microprocessor, to grant very fast acquisitions and elaborations.

  • You may change via SW any acquisition and elaboration parameter.

  • Up to 8 P20 cards on the same system (3 jumpers to set address), for a total of 64 high-speed counters.

  • It is possible to ask Leomatic for a customized Firmware version.

 

Hardware Specifications

Functions

  • Based on a DSP microprocessor at 10 Mhz
  • P20 can send an interrupt to the main CPU, that can be selected by jumpers between 3 different IRQ
  • P20 can generate a periodical interrupt, from every 20 ms up to 1.3 s.  Also this interrupt can be selected by jumpers between 3 different IRQ.
  • 8 high-speed simultaneous counters:
    • Max freq. of Incremental Encoder:
      60 KHz (15x4)
    • Max freq. of UP, UP/DOWN conters: 30 KHz
  • Incremental Encoder signals level:
    12...30 Vdc.
  • Position range: ± 231 counts (32 bits)
  • 16 digital photo-coupled inputs, PNP type (24 Vdc nominal).
  • 16 digital photo-coupled outputs, PNP type (24 Vdc nominal); each output acts as "current source", with a maximum fan-out of 400 mA.
  • Up to 8  P20 cards on the same system (3 jumpers to set address), for a total of
    128 Inputs + 128 Outputs or 64 counters.
  • Each counter type (Incremental Encoder, UP/DOWN, UP) may be configured via software.
  • Sampling time of control algorithms may be set from 20 µs up to 2 ms.
  • You can preset and/or read the value of each counter.
  • Each input logic level (Normal Open or Normal Closed) is configurable via software.
  • On board firmware auto-diagnostic functions (error conditions).
  • Handling of fast EVENTS (I/O edge, position targets, ...) and associated ACTIONS (I/O set/clear, start/stop of a counter, ...), with typical response time of 50 µs.
    (See tables below)
  • Handling of electronic cams by means of ACTIONS associated to programmed EVENTS.
 

Main Events

Main Actions

  • A programmed target position is reached.
  • Positive/negative edge of a digital Input.
  • ....
  • Set/Clear of a digital Output (electronic cams).
  • Sending of an Interrupt to the main CPU.
  • Start/Stop of a counter.
  • ....

Mechanical Specifications

Electrical Specifications

  • Dimensions: Eurocard 100 x 160 mm.
  • Front panel: 4 TE
  • 1   DIN    connector, 96 pins male
  • 1 D-SUB connector, 37 pins female
    (for connection to I/O and field-power)
  • Power requirements:
    650 mA on  + 5 Vdc (from IPC Bus)
      30 mA on +12 Vdc (from IPC Bus)
      10 mA on  -12 Vdc (from IPC Bus)
      xx  A   on +24 Vdc (field-power)
  • Input current: 12 mA on 24 Vdc
  • Field-power range: 15..30 Vdc

Leomatic supplies P20 cards with a free-of-charge software library, which contains procedures/methods allowing to handle all of hardware resources and to realize a software user's interface for the specific application.

Are also supplied some "demo" files, in C / C++ / Visual Basic languages, showing an example on how to use the software library.

Ask Leomatic for any customized Firmware version.
