GMB HR246 English Tech. Manual PDF format.

Ver. 5.00 - Rel. 27 January 2007.

GMB HR246 essentialy is a module for DIN Rails mounting, capable to accomodate a CPU Mini Module type CAN or GMM, either with 28 and 40 pins.

GMB HR246 is complete of Opto Coupled Inputs visualized through LEDs; Relay Outputs visualized through LEDs; a Real Time Clock provided of interrupt and/or alarm output visualized by LED; Connector AMP MODU II, 4+4 pins, for serial communication, A/D line, PWM, D/A and CAN interface, etc.; USB Connector; Connector AMP MODU II, 4 pins, for I2C BUS. The module's features are completed by a switching Power Supply, with wide input range voltage and by a DC/DC Converter, Galvanically isolated, that generates the power supply voltage for the digital inputs.
In a minimum size it contains a complete controller that can manage all the applications with middle, high complexity with a really interesting Price/Performances ratio.

The picture shows grifo® Mini BLOCK GMB-HR246; on left side without RTC option while on the right one with RTC option.

Left side picture shows grifo® Mini BLOCK GMB-HR246 equipped with grifo® Mini Module GMM AM128 while on the right side picture it is equipped with grifo® Mini Module GMM 932.

On GMB HR246 can be mounted all the Mini Modules, either with 28 and 40 pins; the complete available resources change according with selected model, as summarized in the following table.

The main features of GMB HR246, complete of possible options, are the following ones:

• Modular plastic container DIN 50022 Modulbox, model M9 HC53.
• Size: frontal 90x158 mm; height 58 mm.
• Mounting on DIN Omega rails DIN 46277-1 e DIN 46277-3.
• 40 pin socket for the insertion of all the grifo® Mini Modules as: GMM ACB, GMM AM32, GMM 4620, CAN AVR, etc.
• 24 Optocoupled inputs that can be indifferently NPN or PNP type.
• Power supply of inputs selectable by user, according with his requirements, and displayed by LED with different colours.
• Status of 24 inputs visualized by 24 LEDs
• Isolated DC/DC Converter capable to generate power supply voltage for all the Optocoupled inputs; thus the last results powered on board.

• 1 A/D line with selectable input ranges.
• Up to 5 I/O lines at TTL level.
• I2C BUS line available for external devices, on dedicated connector.
• CAN interface connected to specific connector (when available on Mini Module).
• USB interface connected to specific connector (when available on Mini Module).
• Real Rime Clock backed by Lithum battery, capable to manage autonomously hour, minutes, seconds, day, month, year and week day.
• 1 TTL output driven by interrupt or Alarm signal, of the optional RTC, displayed by LED and connected to proper connector.
• 240 Bytes of backed SRAM, included in the RTC and available for the user.
• Connection of all the signals through comfortable connectors, with standard pin outs.
• On board Switching power supply.
