This DSP control board can function either as a master or a slave device within a VME rack, plugging into one slot but occupying space equivalent to two slots due to its daughterboards. It has its own program memory and offers scalable local high-speed input/output interfacing to control signals directly, bypassing the common VME data path. This allows for low-latency, high-speed processing critical for real-time control tasks. The board is equipped with features that support signal scaling, buffering, isolation, and conditioning through its daughterboards, enhancing the accuracy, stability, and reliability of signal handling. These capabilities make the DS200DSPCH1ADA suitable for industrial users demanding precision and speed in electric power control.
Technically, it operates with a +5 V DC power requirement drawing 6 A, supports 12 relay channels, and handles trip solenoid ratings up to 125 V DC. The power supply for the board ranges from 18 V to 32 V DC, and it is designed for DIN-rail mounting. The operating temperature range spans from -30°C to +65°C, making it adaptable to typical industrial environments. The compact form factor of approximately 15.9 cm in height and 17.8 cm in width aids in integration within standard control racks.
