The TBO 01 (Transistor BLOCK Output)
is a BLOCK type module designed to set and visualize 16
optocoupled outputs, open collector transistor type, managed
by as many TTL digital lines,that came into the module.
The inputs and power supply of TTL section are connected
to a standard 20 pins I/O ABACO® connector allowing
to interface the several grifo®
cards, provided of at least 16 TTL output lines, like GPC®
150, GPC® 552, GPC® 15R, GPC®
188F, PIO 01, IPC 52, GPC® 154, GPC®
884, GPC® 323, GPC® 183, etc. The module
connection with these cards is directly performed with a 20
wires flat cable, as the FLT 20+20 or FLT 26+20 accessories.
The sixteen 3 A transistor outputs are available on two
12 pins quick release screw terminal connectors, that allows
a prompt interface to the external signals. Remarkable and really
efficient is the protection offered by back suppression diodes
on the power transistors, especially usefull in case of inductive
loads: to take advantages from this feature it is sufficient the
connection of positive supply voltage of the loads always on the
described connectors.
The typical applications of the module are all the on/off driving
of small and medium power devices (electric valves, power relays,
signal buffers, electric locks, etc.) through comfortable and
inexpensive TTL I/O lines, without using dedicated digital
cards.
The board features red LEDs that provide the user a visual
feed back about the status of the 16 signals of the TBO
01 module.
TBO 01 is delivered with a plastic mount for DIN 46277-1
and DIN 46277-3 rails and it doesn't require any software
management.
