AC5

Availability: Obsolete
OBSOLETE - ISA Bus To Card Edge I/O Rack With 6-ft Cable
Data Sheet User's Guide

Production Specification

NOTE: The AC5 is OBSOLETE and no longer available.

The AC5 adapter card is used for direct control of Opto 22 I/O units from your PC. Using this card you can access up to 24 points of I/O.

The AC5 uses an ISA bus. A 6-foot cable is provided for a rack with an edge connector.

IMPORTANT: When choosing digital I/O for use with this card, make certain that you choose 5 VDC logic I/O modules. The card is not compatible with 15 VDC or 24 VDC I/O.

Compatible racks and I/O: If you need a cable with a header connector, see the G4AC5.

For a similar card using the 33 MHz PCI bus, see the PCI-AC5. For a card using the PCIe bus, see the PCIe-AC5.

For system diagrams and more information, see the PC-Based I/O Control Overview.

1. Rev C card shows “9278” on the white label; older Rev B card shows a number beginning with “8939”. Rev C card requires both 5.0 and 3.3 volts. This card is not compatible with computers that supply 5 VDC only.

2. Choose 5 VDC logic modules that are compatible with the mounting rack used.
WARNING: Do not use 15 VDC or 24 VDC modules (such as the IDC15 and IDC24). Using these modules with 15 or 24 VDC logic power can cause serious damage to the adapter card and to the computer.

3. The PC-Based Direct I/O SDK no longer supports the AC5 or G4AC5 adapter cards. For these cards, you can continue to use version R5.0b of the PC-Based Direct I/O SDK (PC_Based_Direct _IO_SDK_R5.0b.exe). It can be downloaded from Opto 22's FTP site.

*** NOTE: These products are OBSOLETE and no longer available.***
Opto 22 PCI-AC5, PCIe-AC5, and AC5 (or G4AC5) adapter cards provide an interface between personal computers and Opto 22 digital input/output (I/O) mounting racks for direct connection to I/O points.

This document includes installation and use instructions for the cards and the driver toolkit that comes with them.

PC-Based I/O Overview

This document shows examples of system architecture for PC-based I/O control systems and lists Opto 22 products that work together for PC-based control. System examples include:

  • Ethernet systems using SoftPAC, a software-based programmable automation controller programmed with PAC Control
  • Ethernet systems using the OptoMMP protocol
  • Direct control of I/O using no I/O processor (no brain)
  • High-speed control using the Pamux protocol
NOTE: Before choosing to use a PC for control, consider groov EPIC.  A groov EPIC processor offers many features similar to a PC, such as a Linux OS with optional secure shell access; cybersecurity features; Ethernet, USB, and HDMI ports; and the ability to run the control program and HMI on the same hardware. In addition, a groov EPIC system offers real-time control using traditional programming languages; guaranteed-for-life I/O on the same chassis; industrial toughness for hazardous locations; and easier integration with company computer networks, manufacturing, business, and facility systems, and cloud-based services & software.
