Product Description
Power Requirements: 5.0 VDC ± 0.1 VDC @ 600 mA max. (supplied through header connector pins 1 and 49).. Operating Temperature: 0deg to 70degC, 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 B200 is an analog brain board used to control up to 16-channels of remote analog I/O using Opto 22’s Classic analog I/O mounting racks and modules. On-board intelligence enables many distributed control features. The B200 and its digital counterpart, the B100, can be used with either an Opto 22 controller or a host computer. The B200 communicates serially via RS-485 at communication speeds up to 115K baud using the Mistic protocol. The B200 brain board is physically interchangeable with the traditional B2 Optomux brain boards for Opto 22 Classic I/O and is plug-compatible with Classic racks. This compatibility makes it possible for a “Classic I/O customer†using Standard analog I/O to take advantage of the increased performance of Opto 22’s Mistic communications protocol. The compatibility also allows Optomux users to migrate to Opto 22’s FactoryFloor software without modifying existing field or communication wiring. Utilizing the Mistic protocol, faster communication speed is combined with advanced I/O processing to provide unmatched performance and power at the I/O level. Time-critical functions such as temperature conversion and linearization, digital filtering, max/min tracking, and averaging can be offloaded from your host processor to the B200’s intelligent I/O processor. Distributed control functions include event/reactions, which execute highspeed, deterministic responses to sophisticated control sequences, alarm monitors, or diagnostic conditions. In addition, the B200 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 B200 is the gateway to Opto 22’s FactoryFloor. aka G4B200. Opto 22. Opto 22. B200.
