EN-EIC-325
Four Axis Encoder Interface Card For The ISA Bus
D1-1
⻬ Four 24-Bit Up/Down
Latch Counters
⻬ Each Counter has
a Programmable
Setpoint Value
⻬ Provides the Excitation
to the Encoders
The Model EN-EIC-325 Four Axis
Encoder Interface Card for the ISA
BUS accommodates most of the
popular optical encoders available.
The board supports either squarewave or sinusoidal output encoders,
both linear and rotary types. It can
be directly connected to up to four
encoders and will also provide
necessary excitation to the
encoders.
The card is equipped with four
differential inputs for limit or home
switches/marker/encoder index
and 11 single-ended inputs for
general use. Also, there are four
opto-isolated outputs that may be
used for set-points, carry/overflow
or index/marker and three optoisolated outputs for general use.

Basic Unit
The card has four 24-bit up/down
latch counters. Each counter can
be programmed for a preset value.
There is an internal status register
for rapid storing and clearing of
signals.

MULTI-FUNCTION CARDS
Each card is supplied with one mating connector for the 44 pin encoder input port. For an
extra mating connector for the encoder input port, order part number EN-EIC-325-CONN, $7.
Each card also includes example software and source code illustrating how to communicate
with the card under DOS as well as Windows drivers (EN-EIC-325 supports Windows 98)
with complete Visual Basic examples.
