Availability: In Stock SKU: RO-(ETH/LC)/(USB)-O8-64-R8-64 Category:

The RO-(ETH/LC)/(USB)-O8-64-R8-64 module is available in versions with 8, 16, 32 or 64 inputs and outputs. For the digital inputs AC optocouplers are used, while reed relays were used for the digital outputs. As interface option you can choose between an Open-Source Ethernet connection with galvanic isolation or a standard USB 2.0 connection.

  • Ethernet interface 10/100 Mbit with galvanic isolation
  • web interface
  • Open Ethernet Protocol
  • USB 2.0 interface up to 480 Mbit
  • 8/16/32/64 Digital inputs: 15V – 30V AC/DC (optional 5V – 15V)
  • 8/16/32/64 relay outputs: 1A
  • 16 bit counter per input channel (up to 100Hz)
  • LED status display per input and output channel
  • Timeout protection function

Digital inputs

With our optocoupler inputs, digital signal states can be recorded within a voltage range of 5V to 30V AC or DC. Input and output circuits are galvanically isolated from each other up to 2.5kV.

 

Digital In Input Filter

With our Digital-In modules, an input filter can be set in a time interval of 1ms…255ms to filter interference pulses.

This means that AC signals can also be detected cleanly.

 

Counter

Each input has a 16 bit counter that can count up to 65535 pulses. If the maximum counter value is exceeded, the counting process starts again from zero. By means of a software command, the current status of all input counters can be read from the module simultaneously.

 

Recording of status changes

Status changes that occur between the readout cycles are reliably detected by internal flip-flops and can be read out separately by software. In addition, such an event is signalled by a status LED. Resetting is done automatically after the flip-flops have been read out.


Relais 1A

With the option “Relay outputs (1A)” reed relays with normally open (NO) function are used. They are suitable for smaller switching capacities of up to 1A and have a service life of well over 100 million switching cycles. The electrical isolation between input and output circuit is up to 1.5kV.

 

Fail-safe mode

The fail-safe mode is a safety function in which the DEDITEC module switches to a previously configured, safe switching state in the event of a connection failure.
This is intended to prevent connected installations or systems from continuing to run in an uncontrolled manner.

 

Three switching states can be defined for each digital output: a) Switched off, b) Switched on or c) Unchanged.

 

The fail-safe circuit is triggered by a timeout protection function. If the control unit no longer receives any commands from the control PC within a previously defined period of time, the timeout function comes into effect. The cause of a timeout can be a loss of connection between the control PC and the DEDITEC control system or failure of the control PC.

 

Timeout modes

Three timeout modes are available:

 

A) “Normal mode” is valid once and must be reactivated manually by software command after each timeout event. The customer application still has access to all controller outputs.

 

B) In “Auto reactivate mode”, the timeout function is automatically reactivated after communication with the control PC has been re-established. The customer application still has access to all outputs of the control unit.

 

C) The “Secure outputs mode” blocks access to the outputs after the timeout event. Unlocking can only be carried out by software command. This is an important safety aspect


LEDs

Each digital input and output has a separate LED that lights up when the signal state is active. Furthermore, the status of the operating voltage, the communication with the interface, error events or the occurrence of a timeout can be displayed.


Connectors

A screwless system from the manufacturer WAGO Kontakttechnik is used as the connector. The 1-wire female connectors are 100% protected against mismating and have an eject and locking mechanism. All conductor types up to 1.5mm² can be connected.

USB module configuration

Products with USB interface are automatically recognized by the DELIB driver library. Configuration is only required if several identical USB products are to be used on the same system.

 


Multiple identical USB modules on one system

Each of our USB products is delivered with the module number “0”. When using more than one USB module on a PC / system, a new module no. must first be assigned to each additional module. This assignment is done with the help of our DT-ICT-Tool. Only in this way can a unique assignment take place on the software side. The module number is permanently stored in the product. Up to 255 identical modules can be used on one system.

CNT48 functions

DapiCnt48ModeSet
This command sets the count mode for a single input channel.

DapiCnt48ModeSet

 

Description

This command sets a counting mode (optionally also sub mode) and input filter for a specific input counter channel.

 

Definition

void DapiCnt48ModeSet(ULONG handle, ULONG ch, ULONG mode);

 

Parameters

handle=This is the handle of an open module
ch=number of the input counter channel whose mode is to be set (0, 1, 2, 3, .. )
mode= Specifies the mode

 

Possible values for mode

mode=DAPI_CNT48_MODE_COUNT_RISING_EDGE | DAPI_CNT48_SUBMODE_NO_RESET
In this mode, counting is performed on the rising edge.

 

mode=DAPI_CNT48_MODE_COUNT_RISING_EDGE | DAPI_CNT48_SUBMODE_RESET_WITH_READ
In this mode, counting is performed on the rising edge. In addition, the counter is reset with every read operation.

 

mode=DAPI_CNT48_MODE_COUNT_RISING_EDGE | DAPI_CNT48_SUBMODE_RESET_ON_CH_7
In this mode, counting is performed on the rising edge. In addition, the counter can be reset via an external signal (last channel of the module = 1).

 

mode=DAPI_CNT48_MODE_COUNT_RISING_EDGE | DAPI_CNT48_SUBMODE_LATCH_COMMON
With the command “DapiSpecialCommand(handle, DAPI_SPECIAL_CMD_CNT48, DAPI_SPECIAL_CNT48_LATCH_GROUP8, 0, 0)” all 8 counter values of the input counters are written into a latch simultaneously. This mode can then be used to read the latched counter reading.

 

mode=DAPI_CNT48_MODE_T
This mode is used to measure the period T. A 100 MHz counter serves as a basis for this.

 

mode=DAPI_CNT48_MODE_FREQUENCY
In this mode the number of rising edges within one second (= frequency) can be measured.

 

mode=DAPI_CNT48_MODE_PWM
This mode is used to measure the “high” and “low” time of a signal. The ratio can then be determined (PWM).

 

Additionally, all input counters can be combined with an input filter (with an or combination). The following input filters are available for this:

 

DAPI_CNT48_FILTER_20ns
DAPI_CNT48_FILTER_100ns
DAPI_CNT48_FILTER_250ns
DAPI_CNT48_FILTER_500ns
DAPI_CNT48_FILTER_1us
DAPI_CNT48_FILTER_2_5us
DAPI_CNT48_FILTER_5us
DAPI_CNT48_FILTER_10us
DAPI_CNT48_FILTER_25us
DAPI_CNT48_FILTER_50us
DAPI_CNT48_FILTER_100us

Web Interface – Interface

All DEDITEC Ethernet modules have a web interface that allows you to make settings conveniently via your web browser and also gives you direct access to the I/Os.

This allows you to access the product with a smartphone, tablet or even a PC via a browser.

The following I/O units are supported:

 

  • Digital inputs
  • Digital inputs (counter function)
  • Digital outputs
  • Analog inputs (voltage & current)
  • Analogue outputs (voltage & current)
  • PT100 temperature detection
  • Stepper motor control

You can protect the Ethernet module against unauthorized access with a user system and optional encryption system.

General

Start page of the web interface. The navigation on the left side gives you access to various setting options.

Network configuration

All network settings can be made directly via the web interface.

Usermanager

Here you can define the user name and password for access to the web interface. If the user is inactive, he/she is automatically logged out after the session time has expired.

Status / Reboot

Version of the installed firmware. Functions for restarting and resetting the settings.

Security

In addition to a user/password system for the web interface, we also offer you the option of encrypting the entire network communication. Access to the I/Os can also be blocked.

Supported I/Os

In the following we show you the supported I/Os that you can operate via the web interface.

Digital Inputs

The picture shows the overview of the digital inputs. You can switch between several inputs via the drop-down menu. The column ‘State’ shows whether a signal is present at the input.

Digital Inputs Counter

Our digital inputs have a counting function. The counter reading can be read and reset via the web interface.

Digital Outputs

The digital outputs can be switched via an on/off button. The current status of the outputs can be read back via the ‘Readback’ column.

Analogue Inputs

Current and voltage can also be read out via the web interface. The desired operating mode can be set via the A/D Mode drop-down menu.

Analogue Outputs

Analogue signals can also be output via the web interface. The desired D/A mode can be set via the drop-down menu, as with the analog inputs. The desired value can be written to the outputs using the ‘SET’ button. The column ‘Readback’ shows the current voltage/current output of the D/A converter.

Temperature measurement (PT100)

The temperature measurement is supported by our RO series.

 

PT100

The current temperature can be read. If no sensor is connected to the channel, this is signalled with ‘disconnected’.

Stepper-Motor Control

The position and speed of the stepper motor can be set via the control elements. The status window shows the current position, temperature and power supply.

I/O Control APP for Android™

 

Get it on Google Play

  • up to 64 analog outputs (0..10V, 0..5V, +/- 10V and +/- 5V)
  • up to 128 digital inputs and outputs

Network settings
A configuration for private (WLAN) or public (Internet) networks can be created and saved in the network settings.


Module configuration

At the module configuration you see the number of connected I/O modules.

You can also select here which I/Os are to be controlled.


Digital inputs
The digital inputs are scanned at an adjustable interval.


Digital outputs
In the area of the digital outputs the channels can be switched on or off individually.

It is also possible to switch all channels on or off.


Analogue inputs
For the analog inputs you can select from the measuring ranges 0..10V, 0..5V, +/- 10V or +/- 5V.

The A/D channels are scanned automatically at an adjustable interval.


Analogue outputs
Here you may set analog outputs in the measuring range 0..10V, 0..5V, +/- 10V or +/- 5V.


Settings
This picture shows the settings for analog outputs. Each channel can be given a name here.

It can also be defined here whether and at what interval the analog outputs are read back.

These settings are available for all I/Os.

Connection example

Screwless connector system

The customer’s connection wiring of the inputs and outputs is carried out via screwless, pluggable terminal strips. The conductor connection is made by a so-called actuating tool.
A locking and ejection mechanism facilitates the insertion and removal of the complete terminal strip.

 

Handling

Step 1

Remove the operating tool from the scope of delivery.

Step 2

Insert the operating tool firmly into the side opening in the direction of conductor connection.

Step 3

Now insert the stripped conductor into the open terminal contact.

Schritt 4

Pull the operating tool out again.

Step 5

Check the correct connection of the conductor. It should now no longer be possible to pull it out easily.

USB watchdog stick with 2 relays for shift operations

This USB-WATCHDOG-STICK monitors your operating PC or server and can reset the hardware independently in case of a program crash. Simply integrate the function of the Watchdog Stick into your application. As soon as a timeout occurs and the watchdog stick is no longer periodically reset, the two relay outputs are switched through. With an appropriate connection cabling, for example, the PC reset could be activated, an external SMS modem can send warnings or a connected siren signals an alarm. With the help of our free configuration tool, you can define how the relays should switch in case of an error.
