Appendix A Using Watchdog Timer & Isolated DIO

Neousys Nuvo-4000 series provide a watchdog (WDT) timer function to ensure a more reliable system operation. The WDT is a hardware mechanism to reset the system if the watchdog timer is expired. Users can start the WDT and keeping resetting the timer to make sure the system or program is running. Otherwise, the system shall be reset.

In addition to hardware watchdog function, an option of isolated digital I/O is available for extended range of applications. Nuvo-4000 feature the option of 8x DI channels and 8x DO channels via an internal 2x13 Pin Header. Neousys also provides a cable/panel kit with DSub-25 connector for front-panel access. The optional digital I/O supports standard polling mode I/O access so users’ program can read or write DIO channel(s) using this function library. It also features an enhanced mode called “Change-of-State Interrupt”. By detecting any change on digital input channel(s), an interrupt is generated according to a user-defined interrupt mask and level/edge setting, so user’s program can react to the change.

In this document, we’ll illustrate how to use the function library provided by Neousys to program the WDT and DIO functions. Currently, WDT & DIO driver library supports the following operating systems:

 Windows XP  Windows Vista (32-bit)  Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit)

For other OS support, please contact Neousys Technology for further information.

A.3 Using DIO Function

Wiring for DIO

The digital input function of Nuvo-4000 is im plem ented using a photo-coupler with a internally series-connected 4.7k ohm resistor. You need to provide a voltage to specify the logic high/low s tate. The input vo lta ge for log ic high is 5~24V , and th e input vo ltage f o r logic low is 0~1.5V

The digital output function of Nuvo-4000 is implemented using Power MOSFET + Analog Device iCoupler® component. The DO channels are configured as NO (normall y-open) configuration. When you turn on Nuvo-4000, all DO channels have a deterministic state of logic 0 (circuit disconnected from GND return). When logic 1 is specified, MOSFET is activated and GND return path is established. You should configure a sinking current connection for DO of Nuvo-4000. The following diagrams are the suggested wiring for DO:
