1DEFINITION OF APPLICATION
1.1 Intended use
The board PA 200 must be inserted in a PC with ISA slots, which is used as
electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory pursuant to the
norm IEC 61010-1.
1.2 Usage restrictions
The PA 200 board must not to be used as safety related part for securing
emergency stop functions.
The PA 200 board must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
1.3 General description of the board
Data exchange between the PA 200 board and the peripheral is to occur through a
shielded cable. This cable must be connected to the 37-pin SUB-D male connector
of the PA 200 board
The board has 32 output channels for processing digital 24 V signals.
An external 24 V supply voltage is necessary to run the output channels.
The screw terminal board PX 901 and the relay board PX 8500 allow to connect
the 24 V supply voltage through a shielded cable
The connection with our standard cable ST010 complies with the following
specifications:
-metallized plastic hoods
-shielded cable
-cable shield folded back and firmly screwed to the connector housing.
The use of the board in a PC could change the PC features regarding noise
emission and immunity. Increased noise emission or decreased noise immunity
could result in the system not being conform anymore.
Check the shielding capacity of the PC housing and of the cable prior to putting
the device into operation.
The use of the board according to its intended purpose includes observing all
advises given in this manual and in the safety leaflet.
Uses beyond these specifications are not allowed. The manufacturer is not liable
for any damages which would result from the non-observance of this clause.
Make sure that the board remains in its protective blister pack until it is used.
Do not remove or alter the identification numbers of the board.
If you do, the guarantee expires.

5.1 Setting the base address through DIP switches
WARNING!
If the base address set is wrong, the board and/or the PC may be destroyed
At delivery the base address is set to 0390H.
♦Check if the base address is free on your PC.
♦Check if the required address range is not already used by the PC or by
another inserted board.
5.1.1 Windows NT
To check it, open Start/Programs/Administrative tools (common)/Windows NT
diagnostics. Click on "I/O Port".
5.1.2 Windows XP/2000/9x
To check it, start the device manager under Start/Settings/Control Panel/
System/Hardware. Set the view to "resources by type".
If the set base address is not displayed, it is then free. If it is occupied by another
device, you have to set a new base address through the block of DIP switches of
the board.
