SDM-CD16S 16 Channel Solid State DC Control Module

1. Function

FIGURE 1. SDM-CD16S Face Panel
The SDM-CD16S has 16 DC voltage outputs that can be switched on and off manually or under datalogger control. Separate inputs for the power to the outputs (48 VDC max) and the power to SDM-CD16 logic (7 – 48 VDC) allow the option of powering the logic from the datalogger 12 V while switching a higher voltage. LEDs allow a visual indicator of active outputs.
The outputs can be controlled by a datalogger or controlled manually with a manual override toggle switch and individual rocker switches for each of the outputs.
The toggle switch has three positions: MANUAL, OFF and AUTO. In the MANUAL position, outputs are controlled by the position of the individual rocker switches. In the OFF position, all outputs are off. In the AUTO position, the state of the relays is controlled by the SDM commands from the datalogger or by the logic control inputs.
The SDM-CD16S is a synchronously addressed datalogger peripheral. Datalogger control ports 1, 2, and 3 are used to address the SDM-CD16S, then clock out the desired state of each of the 16 control ports. Up to 16 SDM­CD16Ss may be addressed, making it possible to control a maximum of 256 ports from the datalogger’s first three control ports. The SDMCD16AC instruction is used to control the SDM-CD16S in CRBasic dataloggers. In

SDM-CD16S 16 Channel Solid State DC Control Module
Edlog dataloggers that support SDM-CD16 devices, I/O Instruction 104 is used (some old CR7s may use Instruction 29).
In addition to SDM control, the SDM-CD16S has individual digital control inputs for each of the outputs. A logic high (5 V) on the control input will set the associated output high. The control input OR the SDM command can set the output high. Both the SDM command and the control input must be low for the port to be low. The logic control inputs may be useful for using one of the datalogger’s control ports with the pulse width modulation instruction for a proportional control that changes faster than the datalogger scan rate. (The pulse width modulation instruction is PWM in CRBasic dataloggers, Instruction 137 in the CR23X.) Devices other than the datalogger that have a 0V/5V logic output for control might also be used to activate the digital control inputs.
NOTE
Ensure that the datalogger contains the appropriate instruction and test your datalogger program before going in the field.

3. Power Considerations

The SDM-CD16S power requirements may be large compared to most CSI products. For most applications, an external power supply (see Figure 3) is recommended to power the SDM-CD16S.
For some applications, it may be convenient to use the datalogger supply to power the SDM-CD16S (see Figure 3). For long-term applications, the lead acid power supply available with CSI dataloggers should be used, allowing the batteries to be float charged. It is not recommended that the datalogger alkaline supply be used to power the SDM-CD16S for long term applications.
If the datalogger lead acid supply is used, the current available from the wall charger limits the SDM-continuous output current.

FIGURE 3. Connection Block Diagrams
If the 21X power supply is used to power the SDM-CD16S Load Power, all low level analog measurements (thermocouples, pyranometers, thermopiles, etc.) must be made differentially. This is a result of slight ground potentials created along the 21X analog terminal strip when the 12 V supply is used to power peripherals. This limitation reduces the number of available analog input channels and may mandate an external supply for the SDM-CD16S.

4. Installation

CAUTION
4
The SDM-CD16S must be installed in an enclosure that provides a
pollution degree 2 environment (normally, only nonconductive pollution. However, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation may be expected). All Campbell Scientific enclosures meet this requirement.
Use copper conductors only. Cables connecting the terminals of the datalogger and
SDM device should be kept as short as possible to minimize the risk of corruption of the signals and damage from induced surges. Where long cable runs (>3 m) are unavoidable and the cables run outside, some extra protection may be required for the SDM control terminals. Please contact Campbell Scientific for further advice. When connecting wires to the SDM signal terminals, please ensure they are at ground potential before making the connection, e.g. by touching them to the earth terminal.
SDM-CD16S 16 Channel Solid State DC Control Module
For datalogger connections, see Table 1.
Multiple SDM-CD16Ss may be wired in parallel by connecting the datalogger side of one SDM-CD16S to the next. In most installations the total length of the cables connecting the SDM-CD16S and other SDM peripherals should not exceed 20 feet.
Total cable lengths in excess of 20 feet may adversely influence communication performance. (For CR7 dataloggers, the total cable length should not exceed 600 feet.)
