1. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 2 The DRA-DCC-8 is designed for standard DIN rail mounting. Place the unit on the upper part of the mounting rail with the fastening tab facing down. Using a suitable flat screwdriver loosen the tab slightly and attach the unit to the rail.
3 The DRA-DCC-8 is powered by a DC power supply at a range of 15-32Vdc. In order to determine the minimum supply voltage, use the following equation: Vmin = 8 + Rload( Ω ) * 0.02 where: Vmin is the minimum required supply voltage. Rload( Ω ) is the maximum output load including the leads resistance.
4 Figure 2. SW5 MSB Self T est Mode * according to para #5.2 6. P ARALLEL CONTROL MODE * according to para #5.2 In the parallel control mode, the DRA-DCC-8 unit is controlled via a 15 bit bus. Three Address bits (A0-A3) select the proper current output channel and 12 Data bits (D0-D11) determine its value (A0 and D0 are MSB).
5 6.2 THE "E" (ENABLE) TERMINAL For E="1" the unit is enabled, which means that all input vectors are received and the output is updated. When E="0" the unit ignores any new input vector . The E terminal is recommended to be used as a strobe for parallel data which has a long setup time.
6 7.4.1 BAUD RA TE SELECT SW1 and SW2 select one out of four available baud rates. 300 BPS 4800 BPS 9600 BPS 19200 BPS OFF SW1 SW2 OFF ON OFF OFF ON ON ON 7.4.2 ID CODE Up to eight DRA-DCC-8s can be connected in a multidrop configuration. Switches SW3, SW4, and SW5 (MSB) set the ID code.
7 Note: If the value is omitted it will be treated as zero. Separators such as blanks or commas are not allowed. Example: Channel 4 in DRA-DCC-8 no. 7 has to receive the value of 981.
8 8.1 SELF TEST #1 (Communication Ports T est) In order to test the serial communication ports, this test mode conver ts the unit to a transponder for ASCII characters. Any transmitted character will be echoed to the host terminal. The host parameters should be set to: Baud rate : 4800, W ord length: 8 bits, Parity: even, Stop bit: 1 8.
9 11. DRA-DCC-8 CALIBRA TION Generally there is no need to calibrate the DRA-DCC-8 unit. However if calibration is required, the following steps should be carried out: T wo potentiometer trimmers, one for "Zero" and the other for "Span" are located on printed card 7040.
