DAC 16 card is a powerful
Eurocard format card, provided with BUS Abaco® interface.
This card belongs to the analog peripherals units list and, in
specific, its purpose is to provide two Digital-Analog
conversion lines with 16 bit of resolution and galvanic
separation form the rest of electronics.
The analog signal is avalilable on two robust UHF sub-miniature connectors that assure a strong mechanical connections and a very low contact resistance. Two indipendent D/A Converter circuitries warrant a complete separation of the signals. Analog circuitry is capable to generate the signals amongst a wide range of possible choices. The output signal definition range is the standard from -10 Vdc to +10 Vdc.
This is the optimal range often used to drive the motor controls. Galvanic Separation implemeted on DAC 16 card allow a very dinamic driving without having to worry about the negative effects determined by the matching due to the Mass Rings.
Another typical use for this card is as calibrator. In fact it is extremely useful to be able to generate an analog tension, galvanically isolated from the rest of the on board electronics and with a resolution of 16 bits, when there is the need to build hardware application for production tests or devices simulation or cards with analog sections to test or set.
A DC/DC converter is charged to generate all the voltages essential for the correct working from the unique power supply of +5 Vdc.
DAC 16 card can be driven through any CPU board in the Abaco® listing, and takes as low as 4 contiguous bytes in the addressing space.
