Remote Keypad - Controller Board |
 |
Develec's Remote Data Capture Unit can be supplied as a Printed Circuit Board
for OEM system integration. You can install the PCB into your existing systems or
equipment. |
| Printed Circuit Board |
| The PCB is a glass fibre, double-sided, through-hole plated board. Particular
care was taken in routing the PCB to ensure that there are no 90 degree corners
and no
vias. This boosts the PCB's reliability. Use your mouse to identify PCB
features. |
| The main controller PCB is 82mm by 102mm. Four 3mm mounting holes are provided
on 76mm x 94mm centres. The highest components (IDC ribbon connectors with strain
relief) are 25mm. |
| Connections |
| Three types of connectors are used: |
|
- Molex 2-pin Header for an external buzzer
- ICD (Ribbon Cable) connectors for the Keypad, Expansion Port and the LCD Display.
- Phoenix Contact Connector Blocks with wire cages for all other connections.
|
| Network and Power |
| Two four-way connector blocks are provided for network connection.
The 'incoming' cable is connected to the one connector block and the 'outgoing'
cable is connected to the other connector block. |
| All connections on the two connectors are electrically connected,
on board, to the corresponding connections on the other connector. RS485 is a bussed
network standard and a continuous connection is required from end-to-end. |
| A termination jumper is provided on the PCB as both ends of
the RS485 network should be terminated. The required termination resistance is 120
ohms and only the devices at each end of the network should be terminated. Shorting
the terminator jumper connects an on-board 120 ohm resistor across the two network
data lines. Thus it is unnecessary to supply an external terminator. NB Ensure that
ONLY the two devices at the extreme ends of the network are terminated. |

| PC Keyboard |
| A four-way connector block is provided to allow connection
to the keyboard. Ideally, a PS2 connector (female) should be mounted on the enclosure
to allow the keyboard to be connected easily. |

| LCD Port |
| Develec supplies the LCD Display (4 lines of 20 characters
- backlit) with a ribbon cable that plugs into this port. If you need to use a custom
display, please contact us. |
| Keypad Port |
| This port is designed to accept the ribbon cable connection
to the keypad. Should you have any custom keypad requirements, please contact us.
|
| Expansion Port |
| This cable is designed to accept the ribbon cable from any
custom expansion devices. Should you need to add any custom designed devices, please
contact us. |
| Buzzer Connector |
| A 5V or a 12 V buzzer can be attached to this connector.
