Up to 16 Channel 16-bit Analog Output PC/104 Module with Digital I/O
The Ruby-MM-1616 PC/104 module provides up to 16 channels of 16-bit resolution analog voltage or current output. The output range can be individually selected for 0-5V, 0-10V, ±5V, ±10V, 0-20mA, 4-20mA, or 0-24mA. All outputs are updated simultaneously, either with a software command or in response to an external signal. A waveform generator is available on up to 16 channels with simultaneous updating of all channels.
The board also includes 48 lines of digital I/O, 40 lines of byte-wide and 8 lines of bit-wide, two 32-bit counter/timers, and four 24-bit pulse width modulators. Other features include +5V only operation, individual DC/DC converters with filtered outputs for each DAC to supply ±15V for operation, and a six layer circuit board to bury and shield the analog signals.
Rugged Design for the Real World
Extended temperature capability of −40°C to +85°C enables the board to operate in environments with extreme temperature swings, such as vehicles or outdoor installations. In addition, the board may be custom-configured with 0-ohm resistors in place of jumpers for increased ruggedness in high-vibration environments. As with all of Diamond’s analog I/O boards, Ruby-MM-1616 utilizes a 6-layer PCB with split analog and digital power and ground planes to keep the analog outputs quiet. All analog and digital lines reset to a known state on power up or system reset to guarantee predictable behavior. Factory calibration ensures the highest possible accuracy over the lifetime of the product. The board requires only +5V from the system power supply. These features make Ruby-MM-1616’s quality and performance a leader in the market.
Analog Output Ranges
A wide selection of output ranges is selectable on Ruby-MM-1616A. Each output can have its own output range.
Simultaneous Update
All analog outputs are updated simultaneously with a single read command. This feature minimizes time skew effects when multiple channels are being used to control a single device (for example, when two channels are controlling the X-Y position on a laser). When an update command occurs, only channels with new data written to them will change; the remaining channels will maintain their current output voltage level without interruptions or glitches.
Software Support
The Ruby-MM-1616 ships with Diamond’s free Universal Driver software for C language programming under Windows 7, Windows Embedded 7, Windows XP, Linux and DOS. All major functions of the board are supported by the driver and example programs are also included. Some examples of the supported board operations are:
Analog output on single channel
Analog output on multiple channels with simultaneous update
Interrupt-driven analog outputs with internal or external trigger
Digital input, bit, byte, and word
Digital output, bit, byte, and word

IR104-PBF
High Density Optoisolated Input + Relay Output PC/104 Module
IR104-PBF is a high-density PC/104 format digital I/O module designed for industrial applications requiring isolation between the computer and the external signals it is monitoring and controlling. This module features 20 optoisolated digital inputs and 20 relay outputs. Each input can accept both AC and DC voltages as low as 3V and as high as 24V.
The optocoupler inputs are located on a pin header at the top of the board, while the relays feature quick-disconnect terminal blocks (10 relays per block) that accept wire ranging from 14-28AWG. The board will operate in ambient temperatures ranging from −25 to +70°C.
Note: The maximum component height on this board is .492″, slightly higher than the PC/104 standard of .435″. This extra height will usually not be a problem unless the board stacked directly above the IR104-PBF has components mounted on the bottom of the board or through-hole pins that exceed .043″ in height. In this case you can mount the IR-104-PBF on the top of the stack.
Output Relays
The 20 relay outputs have SPST (form A) normally open contacts. Each relay can switch both AC and DC voltages. The relays have long lifetime (20,000,000 operations, 100,000 at full load) and quick actuation time (6ms max operate, 3ms release).Maximum load is 5A @30VDC. Relay connections are made with detachable screw terminal blocks. Each of the 2 blocks carries contacts for 10 relays.
Input Optoisolators
The 20 optoisolators can accept either AC or DC inputs ranging from 3V to 24V. Opto input connections are made with a 40-pin pin header that mates with standard ribbon cables.
Opal-MM-1616
16 Channel Optoisolated Input & 16 Relay Output PC/104 Module
Opal-MM-1616 is a PC/104 format digital I/O module designed for industrial applications requiring isolation between the computer and the external signals it is monitoring and controlling.
The Opal-MM-1616 features 16 optoisolated digital inputs and 16 relay outputs. Each input has an input range of 0-30VDC. Opal-MM-1616 can be configured to generate an interrupt when any input changes state. Either or both banks of 8 inputs can be configured for interrupt operation. One 34-pin I/O header is used for the optoisolated inputs.
The 16 relay outputs are SPDT format (form C). Each relay has 3 contacts: Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed. For safety and reliability, all relays are at their power-off state at power-up or system reset. Each relay can switch both AC and DC voltages. Two 26-pin I/O headers are used for the relay outputs with 8 relays on each pin header. The relays have long lifetime (10,000,000 operations) and quick actuation time (5ms max operate and release, break before make).
Diamond Systems’ Universal Driver software provides drivers and example code for use with the Opal-MM-1616. The software provides support for interrupts and enables you to integrate you own code that is called when an interrupt occurs.
Signal Isolation
Opal-MM-1616 provides isolation on its input and output lines. The board will withstand up to 500V DC or AC difference in potential between the I/O lines and the rest of the board’s circuitry. Each input and output channel on Opal-MM-1616 is completely independent and does not share any signal trace with any other channel. Therefore, every channel is isolated from every other channel.

A wide-range input power supply with built-in transient protection provides compatibility with a range of industrial and vehicle power supplies. The board also forms the heart of Diamond’s SabreNet-24000 rugged Ethernet switch. Cooling for EPS-24G4X is provided via two heat sinks: a low-profile heat sink between the carrier board and the EPSM module and a taller heat sink for the EPSM module.
The EPS-24G4X is included as part of the EPSM-10GX4 development kit. Schematics and bill of materials are included to simplify the development of custom advanced Ethernet switching solutions based on the EPSM‑10GX4 module.
