Counter Timer TTL IO AP482

The Acromag AP482 Series is a Counter Timer TTL IO module that delivers high speed and resolution for TTL Communications.

Firstly, the AP482 Series is based on the Acromag AcroPack® product line, which has a PCIe interface format. AcroPack® offers products in a compact size, at a low cost with the same functionality and memory map of existing Industry Pack Modules in a rugged form factor. Also they are RoHS compliant. This module contains a 62.5MHz clock time base to provide accurate time synchronisation. The Single counter / timer modes include: event counting, frequency measurement, period/pulse width measurement, quadrature position measurement, pulse width generator and several more which is handled by a single register to simplify programming.

Secondly, the AP482 modules are 70mm long and only 19.05mm longer than a full length mini PCIe card. It contains a down facing connector which internally routes I/O signals through the carrier card to secure field connectors. Therefore, eliminating loose cables and increasing reliability.

Features of the Counter Timer TTL IO Module AP482 includes:

• PCI Express Generation 1 interface
• Ten 32-bit counter/timers
• Mix and match countless I/O combinations in a single slot.
• Sample software and diagnostics
• 62.5MHz clock time base
• Single counter/timer modes: – Event counting – Frequency measurement – Period/pulse-width measurement – Quadrature position measurement – Square wave/pulse train generation – Time/period interrupter – Pulse width generation
• Most configuration is handled by a single register which minimises programming.
• Solid-down connector I/O interface
• Wide temperature range
• VPX and PCIe carriers
• Linux®, Windows®, and VxWorks® support
