HVIO-FIO

E-mail Print
RPA has a long history of taking our custom I/O solutions and offering a variant as standard I/O product.  The HVIO-FIO is a good example.  RPA offers two different variants of the HVIO-FIO.

The HVIO-FIO addresses high voltage and high current DC I/O requirements.  A single HVIO-FIO supports 48 or 96 ports of high-powered DC I/O, giving the user 2-3 times the density of more costly off-the-shelf solutions.  The 48 port version is configured as a High/Low I/O driver for each output.  The 96 port version is configured as a Low side I/O driver for each output.

The I/O drivers have a long list of features including incandescent and inductive load control, output-specific diagnostics, over temperature protection and fault logic that senses potentially hazardous conditions such as over/under voltage and shorted load to name a few.  These features combine to form a configurable I/O solution robust enough for use in the most hostile application environments. 

The onboard 16-bit MCU gives the HVIO-FIO the flexibility to be used in a multi-drop RS-485 network that is connected to a host PC computer.  The host PC computer S/W driver allows up to 32 HVIO-FIO cards on a single RS-485 network. The S/W protocol supports ALL I/O port features in single Read or Write commands. There is no need for the user to issue multiple 'Read' or 'Write' commands to access all the port features. For example, all 48 or 96 I/O ports can be set in any arbitrary pattern via a single instruction.  Only an onboard MCU can provide this type of control over the hardware and provide a higher level of S/W communications back to the host PC.
