4. Functionality

The PCM‑7250+ operates as a digital I/O and relay control interface for embedded systems. It connects directly to the PC/104‑Plus bus, allowing the host CPU to control relays and monitor isolated inputs through standard I/O register access.

Relay Operation:
Each relay corresponds to one output bit. Writing a logic 1 energizes the relay coil, closing the normally open (NO) contact; writing 0 de‑energizes it. Form C relays (R0–R3) provide both NO and NC contacts, while Form A relays (R4–R7) provide NO contacts only.

Digital Input Operation:
Each input channel is optically isolated and can accept AC or DC signals up to 24 V. Jumpers JP1–JP8 configure each channel for AC‑filtered or DC (non‑filtered) input. The opto‑isolators (PC‑814) provide 5000 Vrms isolation, protecting the system from high‑voltage transients and noise.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Industrial ON/OFF control of actuators, solenoids, and lamps
- External high‑power relay driving and signal switching
- Laboratory and process automation
- Limit switch and contact status monitoring
- Integration with A/D and D/A cards for complete data acquisition and control systems
- Embedded control in PC/104‑Plus stack systems

Compatibility:
- Fully compatible with PC/104‑Plus (PCI) bus specification
- Software‑compatible with PCI‑7250 series drivers and libraries
- Supported operating systems: DOS, Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP
- Supported development environments: C/C++, Visual Basic, Delphi, LabVIEW®, HP VEE™, ISaGRAF™, InTouch™, InControl™, OPC clients
