Product Description
Power Requirements: 5.0 VDC ± 0.1 VDC @ 600 mA max.. Operating Temperature: 0° to 70°C, 95% humidity, non-condensing. CPU: 16-bit Intel 80C196 I/O processor. Communications Interface: RS-485 twisted pair with shield, 2-wire or 4-wire (if using interrupts). Data Rates: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800, and 115200 baud. The B100 is a high-performance digital brain board used to control up to 16 channels of remote digital I/O using Opto 22’s digital I/O mounting racks and modules. On-board intelligence enables many distributed control features. The B100 and its analog counterpart, the B200, can be used with either an Opto 22 FactoryFloor® controller or a host computer. The B100 communicates via RS-485 serial at communication speeds up to 115K baud using the mistic protocol. The B100 brain board is physically interchangeable with the older B1 Optomux brain boards for Opto 22 Classic I/O and is plugcompatible with Classic racks. This compatibility makes it possible for a “Classic I/O customer†using Standard, Quad, or G4 I/O to use the mistic communications protocol with FactoryFloor software. Utilizing the mistic protocol, fast communication speed is combined with advanced I/O processing to provide performance and power at the I/O level. Timecritical functions such as high-speed counting (20,000 Hz) and pulse width measurement (100 microsecond resolution) can be off-loaded from your host processor to the B100’s intelligent I/O processor. Distributed control functions include event/reactions, latching, pulse train generation, and time delays. Event reactions execute high-speed, deterministic responses to sophisticated control sequences, alarm monitors, or diagnostic conditions. In addition, the B100 can generate an interrupt signal to an Opto 22 controller or host computer, notifying the controller that an event has occurred. For systems I/O customers, the B100 can be used with Opto 22’s FactoryFloor, the legacy suite of Microsoft® Windows® 32-bit software. aka G4B100. Opto 22. Opto 22. B100.
