16x16 I/O Controller Available

For those of you who voiced a desire for more I/O in the industrial
environment, Digital Design Solutions, Inc. annouces the release of a
Programmable Industrial Controller which interfaces with 24 volt input
and output devices using the new 40 Pin BSII40p Basic Stamp module for
increased I/O count.

All inputs are opto-isolated allowing for a good deal of flexibility.
The 16 Inputs are easily configured to use with both flavors of
industrial 24 volt sensors both PNP and NPN optical photo sensors, or
proximity sensors. The Inputs will also accept switches or contacts,
various photo transistors and hall effect sensors with open
collectors. Input Sensors derive their power from the 4 terminal
input connections. Thus there is no need to assemble a large section
of DIN Rail terminal blocks to distribute power to Sensors. A DIN Rail
fuse block is recommended to power up this module.

A ULN2803 Darlington Array is used to drive the 16 outputs using open
collector drivers. This chip includes internal flyback diodes for
protection against inductive spikes when driving pneumatic solenoids,
relays or motors. Other features include a 5 volt Switching Regulator
to convert 24 volts to 5 for the Logic Section with high power
conversion efficiency and low heat. ( 1.5 Amp Capacity @ 5 volts ) An
LCD output connector is configured for a pin to pin mate with a
Serial LCD Backpack Interface. LED's are installed on both inputs and
outputs to indicate the logic state of the associated I/O pin.

This 16x16 Controller comes with DIN rail mountable plastic holder
ready for your application. Just add power, a BSII40p, your sensors,
controls and some programming to have your industrial solution up and
running for a lot less money than an equivalent mini PLC. Two direct
I/O Ports are also available for controlling specialty chip's such as,
ADC's, DAC's, EEPROM's, Clock's, etc......

The fully assembled controller with DIN rail mounting is available for
$389.00 For more information contact DDS via e-mail at:
ronaldsa@e... or call 970-667-4239.

To purchase send check or money order to:

    Ronald,
    I have enjoyed using your 16 I/O Board. When will you be shipping the new
    board. I just received my BSII40p and don't feel like putting it on a
    protoboard since I have projects that can use it right away.
