CEAC124
device is miniaturized euromechanical version of CAC208. It may be used
as general purpose multichannel DAC and multichannel precise ADC. The device
has optoisolated input and output registers on-board. It gives an opportunity
to build simple systems with the single devices. You can read a detail description
of device in pdf-file.
The device consist of:
- 4-channel 16-bits bipolar DAC;
- 12-channels ADC;
- 4-channel optoisolated output register;
- 4-channel optoisolated input register;
- CANBUS interface for communication with control computer;
- embedded microcontroller.
An user can use CEAC124 both general purpose digital-to-analog
converter and functional generator. An embedded microcontroller may
store a file which describes changing output voltages in time. Embedded
processor provides linear interpolation of output voltages between characteristic
points. All devices in network or programmable group of devices may be started
by single broadcast message.
12-channels ADC design is based on delta-sigma ADC chip
and analog multiplexers. Actually the device have 16 input channels and
all of them are identical for programmer. But, four channels have on-board
connections. Two channels are connected to on-board temperature sensor output
and power supply. Two channels are connected to precise reference source
and "zero". These connections are used by microprocessor to implement procedure
of "system calibration" which highly improves accuracy of ADC. An embedded
microprocessor provides multichannel (from 1 up to 16) measurements or fast
measurements of single channel. Measured values may be sent to a control
computer or may be stored in on-board memory. Stored values may be sent
to a control computer after special request from network. Measurements of
all devices in network or programmable group of devices may be started or
breaked by single broadcast message.
