I/O Lines Overview

General Purpose I/O lines overview in eGrabber-driven frame grabbers

GPIO lines in GenApi

The LineSelector feature of the eGrabber-driven frame grabbers Interface Modules exposes:

● 2 Standard I/O sets of 10 I/O lines named DIN**, IIN**, IOUT** and TTLIO**
● 1 Module I/O set of 40 I/O lines named MIO**

Standard I/O set

Each Standard I/O Set is composed of 10 I/O lines:

I/O Line Type I/O Line Names Count

Isolated input

 IINx1, IINx2, IINx3, IINx4 4

Isolated output

IOUTx1, IOUTx2 2

RS-422 input

 DINx1, DINx2 2
TTL I/O TTLIOx1, TTLIOx2 2
Total   10
NOTE: x is the instance number: 1 for the first instance; 2 for the second instance.

 MIO1 ... MIO40 40

(1) The mix of I/O line types is defined by the attached extension.

GPIO lines per product

The number of effectively available GPIO lines is defined by the frame grabber configuration:

● A frame grabber includes 0, 1 or 2 Standard I/O set.
● A selection of frame grabbers with less than 2 Standard I/O set accepts one extension module with an additional Standard I/O set.
● Frame grabbers with an I/O extension connector may accept one I/O Extension module.

The following table summarizes the capabilities:

● (1) Attach a [PC3300] HD26F I/O module for Coaxlink Duo PCIe/104 to the Extension Connector to obtain the first Standard I/O set instance.

See also: Coaxlink Duo PCIe/104 accessories in the hardware manual for more information.

● (2) Attach one of the following I/O extension modules to the I/O extension connector:
□ [PC3614] HD26F I/O Extension Module - Standard I/O Set to obtain the second Standard I/O set instance.
□ [PC3618] HD26F I/O Extension Module - Fast I/O) to obtain the second Standard I/O set instance with faster IIN** isolated input lines.

See also: [PC3618] HD26F I/O Extension Module - Fast I/O in the hardware manual for more information.

● (3) Attach one of the following I/O extension modules to the I/O extension connector:
□ [PC3610] HD26F I/O Extension Module - TTL-RS422 to obtain up to a configurable mix of TTL and RS422 I/O lines: the 3610/3612 Module I/O set.
□ [PC3612] HD26F I/O Extension Module - TTL-CMOS5V-RS422 to obtain up to a configurable mix of TTL/CMOS5V and RS422 I/O lines: the 3610/3612 Module I/O set.
