RTD Embedded Technologies DM806 DataModule Description

Functions

A PC/104-bus data acquisition module providing multi-function I/O. It performs 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion on 8 single-ended or 4 differential channels up to 250 ksps, featuring a programmable gain amplifier. The module supplies four 16-bit digital-to-analog outputs with software-selectable voltage ranges. It also integrates 16 programmable digital I/O lines and two 16-bit counter/timers for embedded control, instrumentation, and measurement applications.

Platforms

A PC/104-Plus compliant module designed for stackable embedded systems. It interfaces with the host CPU via the PCI bus through a 120-pin connector. The module's primary function is to provide 48 high-speed parallel digital I/O lines, programmable as inputs or outputs in 8-bit ports. External connections are made via a 50-pin header for interfacing with TTL-level digital devices, sensors, and actuators. Common applications include industrial automation, robotics, process control, and embedded data acquisition systems requiring synchronous parallel data transfer with handshaking capabilities.

Applications

specification: Designed for embedded computing and data acquisition, this module operates within compact industrial hardware platforms. It features multiple serial and parallel interfaces for integration with sensors, actuators, and control systems, facilitating real-time data collection and processing. Connectivity includes Ethernet, USB, and legacy communication ports, supporting remote monitoring and control. Common applications encompass industrial automation, OEM embedded systems, and data logging in harsh environments, leveraging rugged design and reliable signal interfacing to ensure consistent operation under variable conditions.

Accessories

Requires standard PC/104 backplane or stackable PC/104 chassis for power and bus interface; interfaces via 64-pin PC/104 connector (ISA bus compatible) for data and control signals; supports connection to Opto-22 I/O system modules via TTL/CMOS outputs; typical usage includes connecting to RTD’s cpuModules or IBM PC-compatible cpuModules; requires +5 V power supply from the backplane; no separate external power or mainframe needed beyond PC/104 standard; software support includes BASIC, Turbo Pascal, and Turbo C source code and diagnostics utilities.

Interfaces

The DM806 DataModule is a PC/104 format embedded I/O module designed for digital control and data acquisition systems. Its main interface is a 64-pin PC/104 bus connector, conforming to the PC/104 standard (ISA bus compatible), which provides power, address, data, and control signals. It uses this bus for connection to CPU modules or mainframes. The module also includes interrupt headers (e.g., P3, P4, P7) for configurable hardware interrupts, and provides digital I/O lines typically TTL/CMOS level, with buffered outputs and optional pull-up/down resistors. The precise number and type of I/O lines and timer/counter functions depend on the specific DM806 variant but follow RTD Embedded Technologies' PC/104 digital I/O module design conventions[1].

Specifications

PC/104-Plus compliant module providing data acquisition and control functions. Features include analog inputs, analog outputs, digital I/O, counter/timers, and serial communication ports. Operates in industrial temperature environments. Connects to PC/104-Plus bus for power and data. Applications include industrial automation, process control, and embedded systems.
