IIRO-8

Each input circuit contains a switchable slow/fast filter that has a 10 millisecond time constant. The filter must be selected for AC inputs but may be switched out in order to obtain faster response for DC inputs. The filter is also useful for slowly-changing noisy DC inputs. A DIP switch on the card permits filter selection on a channel-by-channel basis. Alternatively, you can globally switch all filters in or out under software control.

Another feature of this card is the ability to detect if a state change occurs at any one or more of the inputs and, in turn, assert an interrupt. This is very useful when monitoring for contact closures/openings because it is not necessary to continuously poll the inputs. When the IIRO-8 detects a state change, the resulting interrupt request can be used to initiate a poll of the inputs to determine which line(s) changed. After the interrupt has been serviced, the interrupt latch can be cleared by a software write.

The electromechanical relay outputs are comprised of five Form C SPDT outputs and three Form A SPST (normally open) type. On/Off status of the relays can be read back. All relays are de-energized at power turn-on. IIRO-8 occupies four consecutive addresses in I/O space. The base address can be selected anywhere within the address range 000-3FF (hex). Read and write operations are done on an 8-bit byte-oriented basis. All input/output connections are via a single 37-pin D connector at the rear of the card.
