USER'S MANUAL FOR 16 CHANNEL RELAY OUTPUT BOARD

16 Channel Relay Output board
Product Code: A16RELAY
 
INTRODUCTION
The 16 Channel Relay Output board provides 16 Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) relays to drive 16 digital output lines. Each of relay channel can be used to control ON/OFF of external devices, to drive external high power relays, to activate alarms…etc. there are 16 LED indicators correspond to 16 relays, when relay is energized, the corresponding LED is light. The +12V power source is user selectable from internal PC bus or external power supplier.

3.User's manual.


HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
2.1 Configuration For Jumper
Before you use the 16 Channel Relay Output Board, you must ensure that the power supplier, jumpers, and connectors are set correctly. Observe the figure in the following, the proper settings for the 16 Channel Relay Output Board are described in the follows.

 Setting the threshold voltage of Photo Isolator, adjust VR which is on the PCB to get the desired threshold voltage. The external input voltage which is over the threshold voltage will be recognized as HIGH (1) and the relative led will be light. Otherwise that will be LOW (0) and led be off.

 

1.
 Internal / external power selection.
 
 JP-1 is used to select internal or external power supply, when JP1-1 and JP1-2 is short; the power is supplied by PC bus. When JP1-2 and JP1-3 is short, external power supplier supplies the power. Suppose you connect more than two 16 Channel Relay Output Board, we suggest you use external power.


2.
  External power supplier

TB3 is used to connect +12V external power, the configuration is shown in the follows.



The input voltage is 12V (+/-) 1V, and the power consumption for each 16 Channel relay output Board is 0.55 amp


2.2 Signal Assignments

1. Signal assignment of 26 pins flat cable

The 26 pins flat cable connector is connected to digital output interface card such as: industry control, TTL I/O, 8255 I/O, connector is shown in the following.

2.4 LED messages

        Other information LEDs are as follows

 

        LED1

        If you are ready to send data to the relays 0~7, LED1 will be light. Otherwise that will be LOW (0) and LED1 be off.

        LED2

        If you are ready to send data to the relays 8~15, LED2 will be light. Otherwise that will be LOW (0) and LED2 be off.

        LED3

        The LED3 is an indicator to show the power is supplied normally. 

        LED4

        LED4 indicates the JP1 status.
