As a USB 2.0 high speed device it offers the fastest speed available with the USB bus, while being compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. The board is plug-and-play allowing for quick connect/disconnect whenever you need additional I/O on your computer. Model Options 16 isolated digital inputs and 16 relay outputs, enclosure, module and screw terminal board 16 isolated digital inputs only version 16 relay outputs only version 8 isolated digital inputs and 8 relay outputs version Accessories: Internal plug in screw termination board (Green screw terminals = AWG 26-16) (Gray screw terminals = AWG 28-20) External power supply AC/DC adapter Options: -OEM Board Only version (no enclosure or screw terminal board) -E Economy model (no screw terminal board) -DIN DIN rail mounting provision 5 Manual USB-IIRO-16(8)/II-16/RO-16 Functional Description FEATURES: • High-Speed USB 2.0 device, USB 1.1 compatible • 16 optically isolated inputs • 16 Form C electromechanical 1A relays • Internal, removable screw terminal board for easy wiring • Small (4" x 4"x 1.25") rugged industrial enclosure • Custom high-speed function driver • PC/104 module size and mounting compatibility INPUTS The board provides sixteen optically-isolated inputs. These inputs can accept either AC or DC signals and are not polarity sensitive. Input signals are rectified by photocoupler diodes while unused power gets dissipated through a 1.8k-ohm resistor in series. The inputs may be driven by either DC sources of 3 to 31 volts (rms) or AC sources at frequencies of 40 Hz to 10 KHz. Standard 12/24 AC control transformer outputs can be accepted as well. External resistors connected in series may be used to extend the input voltage range, however this will raise the input threshold range. Consult with factory for available modified input ranges. Each input circuit contains a switchable filter that has a 4.7 millisecond time constant. (Without filtering, the response is less then 40 microseconds) The filter must be selected for AC inputs in order to eliminate the on/off response to AC. The filter is also valuable for use with slow DC input signals in a noisy environment. The filter may be switched out for DC inputs in order to obtain faster response. Filters are individually selected by jumpers. The filters are switched into the circuit when the jumpers are installed in position FLT0 to FLT15. OUTPUTS The board’s outputs are comprised of sixteen FORM C SPDT electro mechanical relays. These relays are all de-energized at power-on. SCREW TERMINAL ACCESSORY BOARD A Screw Terminal Accessory board is included with the unit, except for the Economy (E) and OEM versions. The board provides access to all 80 I/O signals via removable screw terminals. Each removable screw terminal carries 8 I/O signals, signal names are clearly marked on the accessory board's silk screen. The screw terminal board plugs directly onto the I/O board while fitting inside the rugged industrial enclosure. USB CONNECTOR The USB connector is a Type B connector and mates with the cable provided. The USB port provides communication signals along with +5 VDC power. The board can be powered from the USB port or, if needed for higher current applications, an external power supply can be used. 6 Manual USB-IIRO-16(8)/II-16/RO-16 LED The LED on the front of the enclosure is used to indicate power and data transmissions. When the LED is in an illuminated steady green state, this signifies that the board is successfully connected to the computer and has been detected and configured by the operating system. When the LED flashes continuously, this signifies that there is data being transmitted over the USB bus.

The software provided with this board is contained on one CD and must be installed onto your hard disk prior to use. To do this, perform the following steps as appropriate for your operating system. Substitute the appropriate drive letter for your drive where you see d: in the examples below. WIN98/Me/2000/XP/2003 a. Place the CD into your CD-ROM drive. b. The CD should automatically run the install program. If the install program does not run, click START | RUN and type BGLQR?JJ, click OK or press -. c. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the software for this board. Hardware Installation The board can be installed in any USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 port. Please refer to the USB I/O Quick Start Guide which can be found on the CD, for specific, quick steps to complete the hardware and software installation. 8 Manual USB-IIRO-16(8)/II-16/RO-16 Chapter 3: Option Selection Refer to the setup programs on the CD provided with the board. Also, refer to the Block Diagram and the Option Selection Map when reading this section of the manual. Input Power This is an option for applications that use more current than what your computer can provide on the USB port (typically 500 mA). The DC jack has a 2.00mm post on board and is designed to be used with the 9 VDC AC/DC external power supply that ships with this option. The voltage regulator on board regulates the 9 VDC and provides 5 VDC to the onboard circuitry. When using external power, switch the jumper located near the USB connector to VEXT, otherwise when the jumper is in the VUSB position current is drawn from the USB port. Filter Response Switch Jumpers are used to select input filtering on a channel-by-channel basis. When jumper FLT0 is installed, additional filtering is introduced for input bit 0, FLT1 for bit 1, etc. JUMPER SELECTION Bit Filtered JUMPER SELECTION Bit Filtered FLT-0 IN00 FLT-8 IN08 FLT-1 IN01 FLT-9 IN09 FLT-2 IN02 FLT-10 IN10 FLT-3 IN03 FLT-11 IN11 FLT-4 IN04 FLT-12 IN12 FLT-5 IN05 FLT-13 IN13 FLT-6 IN06 FLT-14 IN14 FLT-7 IN07 FLT-15 IN15 This additional filtering provides a slower response for DC signals as described previously and must be used when AC inputs are applied. 9 Manual USB-IIRO-16(8)/II-16/RO-16 0.29" 0.29" P2 USB NO FILTER FILTER VEXT VUSB VUSB VEXT POWER FROM USB USE DC POWER P3 Pin 1 0.29" 0.29" 3.775” Figure 3-1: Option Selection Map 10 Manual USB-IIRO-16(8)/II-16/RO-16 0.51" 0.44" 5.21" 15 Pin 1 0 0.29" 0.29" Chapter 4: USB Address Information Use the provided driver to access the USB board.

This is a safety issue so a careful approach is required. For CE certification, isolation was specified at 40V AC and 60V DC. The design intention was to eliminate the influence of common mode. Use proper wiring techniques to minimize voltage between channels and to ground. For example, when working with AC voltages do not connect the hot side of the line to an input. Tolerance of higher isolation voltage can be obtained on request by applying a conformal coating to the board. 16 Manual USB-IIRO-16(8)/II-16/RO-16 Customer Comments If you experience any problems with this manual or just want to give us some feedback, please email us at: tech@portwell.com.
