1 INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE BOARD
The PA 358 board is an interface between an industrial process and a personal
computer (PC).
It is to be used in a free PC ISA slot. The PC is to comply with the EU directive
89/336/EEC and the specifications for EMC protection.
Products complying with these specifications bear the mark.
The analog signals reach the peripheral through the 37-pin SUB-D male connector of
the PA 358 board.
The board has up to 8 analog output channels (voltage or current).
The screw terminal board PX 901 allows to connect the analog signals through a
shielded cable.
The use of the PA 358 board in combination with external terminal boards is to occur
in a closed switch cabinet; the installation is to be effected competently.
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 and
cable prior to putting the device into operation.
The connection with our standard cable ST010 complies with the specifications:
- metallized plastic hoods
- shielded cable
- cable shield folded back and firmly screwed to the connector housing.
The use of the board according to its intended purpose includes observing all advices
given in this manual and 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.
1.1 Limits of use
Our boards are not to be used for securing emergency stop functions.
The emergency stop functions are to be secured separately.
This securing must not be influenced by the board or the PC.
Make sure that the board remains in the protective packing until it is used.
Do not remove or alter the identification numbers of the board.
If you do, the guarantee expires.

6.1 Setting the base address through DIP switches
The PA 358-4 requires 8 I/O addresses
The PA 358-6 requires 12 I/O addresses
The PA 358-8 requires 16 I/O addresses
The PA 358-4C requires 8 I/O addresses
The PA 358-6C requires 12 I/O addresses
The PA 358-8C requires 16 I/O addresses
You can choose the position of this address block within the available I/O address
space in intervals of 16 bytes.
WARNING!
If the base address set is wrong, the board and/or the PC may be
damaged
Before installing the board
At delivery, the base address is set on the address 0390H.
Check, that
-the base address is free
-the address range required by the board is not already used by the PC or by boards
already installed in the PC.
If the base address or the address range are wrong
•Select another base address with the 8-pole block of DIP switches S1.
Decoding the base address
The base address is decoded in steps of each time 8 I/O addresses.
It can be selected between 0 and 0FFFH within the PC I/O address space.
In table 6-1 the address 0390H is decoded (settings at delivery).

6.2 Inserting the board
IMPORTANT!
Do observe the safety instructions.
6.2.1 Opening the PC
•Switch off your PC and all the units connected to the PC.
•Pull the PC mains plug from the socket.
•Open your PC as described in the manual of the PC manufacturer.
1. Select a free ISA slot
