Chapter 1
Introducing the CIO-DDA06/JR
Overview: CIO-DDA06/JR features
The CIO-DDA06/JR can have a maximum of six analog ±5Volt output channels (two are installed) and 24
digital inputs and/or outputs. The analog outputs are dual-DAC AD7237s. The CIO-DDA06/JR is 100%
register-compatible with the CIO-DDA06.
The analog outputs may be set for simultaneous update in groups of two, four or all six. Analog outputs are
grouped as 0 and 1, 2 and 3, and 4 and 5. By selecting XFER on the jumper beside the DAC, each pair can be
set for simultaneous transfer. In this way the CIO-DDA06/JR may be set to hold new values until all channels
are loaded, then update any two, any four, or all six channels simultaneously. This is a very useful feature for
multi-axis motor control.
The CIO-DDA06/JR digital I/O lines are an emulation of the 82C55 chip in mode 0. The digital I/O is
equivalent to a CIO-DDIO24H high drive digital I/O board. This is sufficient to switch other TTL or similar
inputs, as well as relays, LEDs or solid state relays.
Software features
