VT1536A Isolated Digital Input/Output SCP 3
VT1536A Isolated Digital
Input/Output SCP
Introduction
The VT1536A is an eight-channel Isolated Digital I/O SCP. Channels are
switch configurable as either input or output on a channel-by-channel basis.
Input-configured channels provide:
• Optically coupled isolation
• Individual switch selectable threshold levels of 5, 12, 24 and 48 VDC
• Two programmable debounce timers (150 µs to 2.4 s); one for the
SCP's lower 4 channels and one for the SCP's higher 4 channels.
• Programmable polarity
Output-configured channels provide:
• SPST Solid-state relay output
• 200 mA current carrying capability
• Relays protected by active voltage clamping
• Programmable polarity
