PC Interface card IFC 430R

PC expansion board with PCI interface,
serves to collect and evaluate encoder signals

IFC 430 Interface-Card

Latch logic of the count values
• Asynchronous latch individually for each channel by software, encoder reference mark or external signal
• Synchronous latch of several channel by software, timer or external signal
• Output signal for cascading several cards; can be programmed for software sync or timer sync.

Counter operating modes
• Three counter channels (32 bits each) with one load and two latch registers
• Counting of encoder square-wave signals with one-fold, two-fold or four-fold evaluation
• Event counter with direction and clear input
• Integral timer for measuring the pulse widths, the frequency and the velocity.

PC bus
• PCI connector, 5 V, 32-bit, 2 x 60 pins
• Target interface (slave) as per specifications Rev. 2.1
• Current consumption at +5 V approx. 0.,5 A, without encoders
• Power supply of the encoders:
 +5 V or +12 V from PCI power supply
 (current consumption depends on encoders connected)

Counter interface (X1)
• Nine RS 422 or. TTL inputs for three encoders with square-wave signals and reference mark
• Maximum input frequency
 5 MHz with delta signals (Line Driver RS 422 standard)
 2 MHz with single-end signals
• Perceives edge distances up to 80 ns
• One TTL input for interfering-signal monitoring
• Separate power supply lines for each encoder

I/O interface (X2)
• Six inputs (3 to 30 V) that can be used as reference pulse inhibitors or as asynchronous latch signals
• One input (3 to 30 V) for synchronous latch of several channels
• One output (TTL) for cascading several cards

Software
• DLL (Dynamic Link Library) for operation with Windows 95/98/ME and NT
• VxD driver for Windows 95/98/ME
• Sys driver for Windows NT
•  Test and demo software with sample programs

Mechanical design and environment
• Dimensions (of the PCB) approx. 120 x 92 mm   width = one slot
• Maximum permissible ambient temperature +40°C
• One D-sub female terminal strip, 25-pin for the counter inputs
• One D-sub female terminal strip, 9-pin for the for I/O-signalsEinspeicher-Logik der Zδhlerwerte
