With the 21X or CR7 the AM16/32B connects to the 12 VDC and “
”
terminals for power. One control port is used for reset, and one switched
excitation channel is used for clock (on 725 card with CR7). If a switched
excitation port is not available, an additional control port can be used to
provide clock pulses to the multiplexer.
4.1.1 Reset
The reset (“RES”) line is used to activate the AM16/32B. A signal in the
range of +3.3 to +8 VDC applied to the reset terminal activates the multiplexer.
When this line drops lower than +0.9 VDC, the multiplexer enters a quiescent,
low-current-drain state. In the quiescent state the common (“COM”) terminals
are electrically disconnected from all of the sensor input channels. Reset
should always connect to a datalogger control port. The CR800, CR850,
CR3000, CR5000, and CR1000 use the PortSet instruction to control the reset
line. Instruction 86 (option code 41 - 48 to activate, and 51 - 58 to deactivate)
is generally used to activate/deactivate the multiplexer when using an Edlog
datalogger; however, in the case of the 21X or CR7 with older PROMS,
Instruction 20 is commonly used.
4.1.2 Clock
Pulsing the AM16/32B “CLK” line high (‘RES” line already high) advances
the channel. The voltage level must fall below 1.5 VDC and then rise above
3.3 VDC to clock the multiplexer.
The AM16/32B operates in one of two clocking modes:
Mode A—sequentially advances through each relay channel (as long as
RESET is HI, relays are closed on each rising CLK edge). A more detailed
description of Mode A is provided in section 4.1.2.1.
Mode B—uses a relay address to go directly to a specific channel (see Figure
4). This reduces power consumption and wear on the relay switches. When
