Chapter 1 PA 1508
1 INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE BOARD
The PA 1508 board is the interface between the processing electronics of the PC
and an industrial process. The board 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 normed mark.
The PA 1508 board integrated in a PC is used as an automation interface for any
stored program control. An 8-bit data exchange occurs over the data bus through
parallel data input/output. This data exchange is supported through the delivered
driver commands.
All driver commands are intended to be used with an application program
written especially for the respective application of the board PA 1508.
Please use the driver appropriate to your operating system and select the
programming language you want to use. Please use the Debug-possibilities of
your PC environment.
The commands of the PA 1508 board are intended to be used as follows:
Outputs channels:
In case of overtemperature, undervoltage, overloading, time-out or voltage loss,
the output channels switch off. The use without misfunction is ensured through
an appropriate cabling and an adapted program control.
Watchdog:
The watchdog function is particularly recommended when the output channels
execute control functions. Make sure with a control program that the output
channels are updated within a period of 4.6 s minimum once.
Diagnostic:
The diagnostic is meaningful when the output channels are used for controlling.
The diagnostic signals must especially be analysed in case of an increasing
temperature of the site, of important charges or of charges with high starting
currents. A fall in the external distribution voltage may also be noticed.
Input channels:
According to the intended purpose of the board, the input channels are used for
the detection of signals.
When the output channels execute important control functions, we recommend
- using the input channels to read the outputs signal,
- setting at least 3 input channels as diagnostic control.

PA 1508 Chapter 1
Please only use the board:
- in conditions providing absolute security
- in a closed housing which is adequately protected against environmental
influences
- with the accessories we recommend.
The use of the board according to its intended purpose includes observing every
advice 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.
1.1 Limits of use
The board PA 1508 is not to be used for securing emergency stop functions.
No emergency stop functions are to be controlled through the output channels.
The board must not operate in a PC which does not provide for an adequate
protection against environmental conditions (e.g.: liquids, dust, ...) and which is
not equipped with an appropriate aeration system.
Make sure that your PC is equipped with a safety system and a shielded metal
housing.
The installation of the board in sites lying under risk of explosion is excluded.
The board should not be submitted to vibrations without additional fixation.
WARNING!
The EMC tests have been carried out in a specific appliance
configuration. We guarantee these limit values only in this configuration.
The tested appliance configuration is at your disposal on request.
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.
Please control that the PC-housing and the cable are effectively shielded before
putting the device into operation.
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.

2 USER
2.1 Qualification
Only a person trained in electronics is entitled to install the board in a PC, to put
it into operation, to operate and to stop it.
The basic knowledge of a high-level programming language is sufficient for
programming the board.
The knowledge of conversion between the different numerative systems
(binary, decimal, hexadecimal) is necessary.
The basic knowledge of EMC is necessary to operate under the CE conformity.
2.2 Personal protection
Consider the country-specific regulations about
•the prevention of accidents
•electrical and mechanical installations
•radio interference suppression
Clothing: antistatic work-clothes (cotton-made clothes, shoes with conductive
soles) and earthing strip on the wrist are strictly recommended before putting the
board into operation.
Work conditions: Select a work place which protects you from electrostatic
charges (conductive table, table layers out of cotton, conductive floor layers, ...)
2.3 In case of emergency
System failure: Plug the connector and the cable out. Wait 10 min before
removing the board from the PC.
Send the board back to us for inspection and/or repair.
In case of fire, dangerous vapours and gas can occur. Disconnect the PC from
all external connections and plug the connector out. Only use non-residual
carbon dioxide to extinguish the flames.
Consider the regulations of the professional association of your sector.

PA 1508 Chapter 3
3 HANDLING THE BOARD
Fig. 3-1: Handling the board
Discharge yourself; Wear an earthing strip.
Put your hand on an earthed, metallized surface (e.g.: radiator, tap, PC housing),
before touching the board. If you are electrostatically charged, this could lead to
an electric shock. Make sure your state of health allows it. Persons with cardiac
problems or pacemaker act at their own risk.
Avoid the direct touching of the board
