Description
AL-1032 is a multifunction I/O board designed for easily providing fault insertion and switching
for up to 32 channels. Each channel can be configured as analog input, analog output, digital
input, or digital output. How one configures a channel dictates what channels are accessible
through the rear connectors. This is important to note for when, for example, when you want to
use external ADCs and DACs.
The Board provides functions for:
- Fault Insertion (All Channels)
o Short to + (AUX1) Rail
o Short to – (AUX2) Rail
- Digital Signals: Signal conditioning and I/O
o Each channel can be configured as digital input or output to and from digital I/O
(TTL)
on the backplane by use of the FPGA logic.
o Digital output signals can be configured as pull down, pull-up or both (option)
o Digital input signals use an individual threshold to detect different signal logic levels.
o The digital input and output can also be set using the build in I/O functions
- Analog Out: Signal conditioning and I/O
o 8 channels (channels 25-32) are designed to use an optional piggyback board such
as the amplifier piggyback board for internal (onboard D/A converters) or external
source (external D/A converter). 8 channels are directly routed to the backplane for
external source (or other purposes)
o 8 channels (channels 17-24) are directly routed to the backplane (pass through) for
external source (or other purposes).
o 16 channels (channels 1-16) can be generated through onboard D/A converters.
- Analog In: Signal conditioning and I/O
o 16 channels (channel 1-16) are routed with attenuation through onboard A/D
converters to the backplane for external A/D converters.
o All 32 channels have internal A/D converters.
Other features:
The board is isolated to keep the test system and DUT separated to provide a high signal
integrity and minimize interference.
The board uses the SLSC interface for setting and reading the status of the board, in addition a
Ethernet interfaces provides faster communication.
The board uses standard high-density D-sub connectors on the front and NI’s standard
backplane for 16ch AI, 16ch AO and 32 DIO signals.

Fault Insertion Capabilities
Fault insertion is the process of sending a known error (fault) to a Device Under Test (DUT) to
understand the reaction from the device. This includes several types of simulated failures such
as short or open circuits, error signals or sensor failures.
Failure signals can be passed to the DUT using the two Fault Insertion (FI) busses (AUX 1 &
AUX 2). FI busses are available on all channels.
FI busses are in most cases connected to (DUT +) and (DUT –) to simulate short circuits. FI
busses may also be used for advanced fault insertions, such as using external power supplies to
simulate surges or other unwanted conditions.

Digital Signal Capabilities
The AL-1032 Board provides digital input or output signal conditioning on each channel. This is
done using 32 isolated TTL I/O signals available via a RTI backplane.
The SLSC control interface is used to configure each of the I/O signals with each input signal
being configured using a threshold. This enables the detection of any logic level such as 3.3V,
5V, 12V or 24V.
Output signals may be configured as being either pull-up, pull-down, or both.
In addition, the SLSC and the Ethernet interface provide I/O functionality for setting and reading
the digital I/O. This avoids the need for additional DAQ cards.
