Chapter 1

Introducing the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO

Overview: OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO features

The OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO is supported under popular Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. The OMB- DAQ-2416-4AO is a multifunction measurement and control board designed for the USB bus.

The OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO is a full-speed, multiplexed 24-bit measurement system that provides up to 16 differential and up to 32 single-ended (SE) analog inputs. It offers software-selectable analog input ranges of ±20 V, ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, ±1.25 V, ±0.625 V, ±0.312 V, ±0.156 V, and ±0.078 V.

It also protects your computer by providing a minimum of 500 VDC input isolation between field wiring and the USB interface.

You can configure up to 16 of the analog inputs as differential thermocouple (TC) inputs. In thermocouple mode, the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO includes built-in cold-junction compensation and open thermocouple detection.

You can add up to 32 single-ended or up to 16 differential channels by connecting the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO to an OMB-AI-EXP32 expansion module. Each channel is software-configurable as single-ended or differential. For each channel pair configured differentially, you lose one SE channel.

The OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO has four 16-bit analog output channels with an update rate of up to1102 S/s and an output range of ±10 V.

The device has eight high-speed lines of digital I/O and two 32-bit counters. You can expand up to 24 DIO channels by connecting the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO to an OMB-AI-EXP32 expansion module.

Six banks of removable screw-terminal blocks provide connectivity to the analog input channels, digital I/O lines, counter/timer channels, and analog outputs.

Software features

For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO, refer to the OMB-DAQ-2416 Series Software User’s Guide that shipped with your device.

OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO User's Guide

Installing the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO

 

 

Optional components

Expansion devices that are compatible with the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO must be ordered separately. If you ordered any of the following products with your device, they should be included with your shipment:

Analog input expansion module adds up to 16 differential or 32 single-ended inputs to the OMB-DAQ-2416- 4AO.

Additional documentation

In addition to this hardware user's guide, you should also receive the OMB-DAQ-2416 Series Software User’s Guide. This booklet supplies a brief description of the software you received with your OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO and information regarding installation of that software. Please read this booklet completely before installing any software or hardware.

Unpacking the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO

As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static

electricity. Before removing the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.

If any components are missing or damaged, notify Omega Engineering immediately by phone, fax, or e-mail.

Phone: (203) 359-1660

Fax: (203) 359-7700

Email: das@omega.com

Installing the software

Refer to the OMB-DAQ-2416 Series Software User’s Guide for instructions on installing the software on the

OMB-DAQ-2416 Series Data Acquisition Software CD. This booklet is available in PDF at www.omega.com/manuals.

We recommend that you download the latest Windows Update onto your computer before installing and operating the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO.

Installing the hardware

To connect the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO to your system, turn your computer on, and then do the following:

1.Connect the OMB-DAQ-2416-ADAP power supply to the device's external power connector, and plug the other end into a power outlet.

2.Connect the USB cable to the device's USB connector and to a USB port on your computer. A USB2.0 port is recommended.

8

OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO User's Guide

Installing the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO

 

 

When you connect the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO for the first time, a Found New Hardware message opens as the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO is detected. When the message closes, the installation is complete.

The power LED (bottom LED) blinks during device detection and initialization, and then remains solid if properly detected. If not, check if the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO has sufficient power. When the device is first powered on, there is usually a momentary delay before the power LED begins to blink, or come on solid.

Caution! Do not disconnect any device from the USB bus while the computer is communicating with the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO, or you may lose data and/or your ability to communicate with the OMB- DAQ-2416-4AO.

Connecting to an OMB-AI-EXP32 with the DSUB37 expansion connector

Use the 37-pin expansion connector to connect the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO to an OMB-AI-EXP32 expansion module.

To connect the two devices directly to each other, follow these steps.

1.Disconnect the USB cable from the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO.

2.Remove the external power cable from the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO.

3.Connect the two devices together by inserting the OMB-AI-EXP32's DSUB37 connector into the DSUB37 connector on the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO.

Figure 1. OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO directly connected to an OMB-AI-EXP32

4.Turn the connected modules over and secure the connection by screwing the connection plate to both modules, as shown below.

Figure 2. OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO secured to an OMB-AI-EXP32

5.Connect the external power supply to the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO's external power connector, and plug the other end into an AC outlet.

6.Connect the USB cable from the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO to the host computer's USB port.

Connect to a USB 2.0 high speed hub to achieve the highest transfer rate (480 Mbps). When connected to a USB 1.1 full-speed port, the transfer rate is limited to 12 Mbps.

Configuring the hardware

Except for the DIO pull-up selection, all hardware configuration options on the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO are software controlled. You can select some of the configuration options using InstaCal, such as the analog input configuration (single-ended or differential channels). When measuring from thermocouples, make sure you configure the channels for differential mode.

OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO User's Guide

Installing the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO

 

 

Caution! Turn off power to all devices connected to the system before making connections. Electrical shock or damage to equipment can result even under low-voltage conditions.

Caution! Always handle components carefully, and never touch connector terminals or circuit components unless you are following ESD guidelines in an appropriate ESD-controlled area. These guidelines include using properly-grounded mats and wrist straps, ESD bags and cartons, and related procedures.

Avoid touching board surfaces and onboard components. Only handle boards by their edges. Make sure the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO does not come into contact with foreign elements such as oils, water, and industrial particulate.

The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic components. Semiconductor devices are especially susceptible to ESD damage.

Differential connection guidelines

When connecting differential voltage inputs to a "floating" voltage source, make sure there is a DC return path from each voltage input to ground. You make this path by connecting a resistor from each input to a GND pin (pins 18, 36, 39, 42, 44, 46, 66, 81, 84). A value of approximately 100 kΩ can be used for most applications.

Leave any unused input channels either floating or tied to GND (pins 18, 36, 39, 42, 44, 46, 66, 81, 84). Source impedances should be kept as small as possible to avoid settling time and accuracy errors.

When configuring thermocouple sensors, keep any stray capacitance as small as possible relative to GND (pins 18, 36, 39, 42, 44, 46, 66, 81, 84) to avoid settling time and accuracy errors. For thermocouple channels, do not provide a return path to ground. This is done internally.

Power LED

The Power LED is the top LED on the right side of the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO housing.

The Power LED blinks when you plug the power supply into the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO, and continues to blink while the device initializes the hardware. If it continues blinking for more than ½ second, then there is a problem with the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO and you should cycle the power.

If an application issues a "blink LED" command, then the power LED blinks a few times.

Activity LED

The (USB) Activity LED is the bottom LED on the right side of the OMB-DAQ-2416-4AO housing. It blinks rapidly when both the USB cable and external power cables are plugged in. It continues blinking rapidly while the device is connecting to the computer, and then turns solid.

Whenever the device receives a USB command, the Activity LED blinks off and then returns to solid green. When an analog in or analog out scan is running, the Activity LED blinks continuously.
