1. Introduction

The PCI-M512/PCI-M512U is a 512 KB SRAM memory Board with battery-backup. The PCI-M512U supports both 3.3 V and 5 V Universal PCI bus, while the PCI-M512 only supports the 5 V PCI bus.

Both the PCI-M512 and PCI-M512U provide 12 Digital Input channels and 16 Digital Output channels, and the PCI-M512U is designed as a direct replacement for the PCI-M512, without requiring any modification to the software or the driver.

A DB-16P daughterboard can be used to connect the input ports (CN2) for isolation purposes, or uses a DB-16R daughterboard as an interface to the output ports (CN1) to provide relay control.

The PCI-M512/PCI-M512U is equipped with two Li-ion batteries to ensure that the content of the

SRAM is maintained if a power loss occurs. The batteries can continue supplying power to the SRAM for 10 years, ensuring that any important data is retained. The main benefit of the doublet battery design is that either of the batteries can be replaced without losing data, so when one battery is removed, the other continues to provide power to the SRAM.

Four LED indicators are included on the board to provide clear visual indication of whether the batteries are operating normally, whether the voltage is low or whether the battery is bad or has encountered a fault. The PCI-M512/PCI-M512U board is an ideal solution for improving system reliability.

The initial voltage of BT1 will be greater than 3.0 V. If the voltage drops to 2.3 V, BT1 will still be able to retain the stored data in the SRAM for several months. It is recommended both BT1 and BT2 are

replaced when the voltage of either drops to 2.3 V or lower. If the voltage drops to 2.1 V or below,

BT1 will still be able to retain the stored data in the SRAM for several weeks. It is strongly

recommended that both BT1 and BT2 are replaced as soon as possible if the voltage of either BT1 or BT2 drops to 2.1 V or lower.

The following is a summary of the battery voltage levels and the related LED and DI Port status indications:

Battery Voltage Status LED Status D/I Port Status

The PCIM512_ReadFromDi(DWORD dwBoardNo, WORD *Data) function can be used to read the

16-bit data. Refer to Section “PCIM512_ReadFromDi” of the PCI-M512 DLL Software Manual for more detailed information.

The lowest 4 bits, Bit0 to Bit3, are battery status bits. The remaining 12 bits, Bit4 to Bit15, are used for external Digital Input signals. A DB-16P daughterboard can be connected to CN2 to act as a

sensor input. Refer to A1.DB-16P for more information.

If the voltage for either BT1 or BT2 is low, it is recommended that both BT1 and BT2 are replaced as soon as possible, following the procedure described below:

1. Ensure that you have two new batteries available for BT1 and new BT2

2. Power on the Host computer (IMPORTANT DO NOT power off the Host computer)

3. Replace the old BT1 battery with a new battery

4. Replace the old BT2 battery with a new battery

Note: It is recommended that the batteries for both BT1 and BT2 are individually replaced at the same time.

The dual battery design also ensures that it is safe to replace old batteries without losing data; when one battery is removed, the second battery continues to provide power to the SRAM.

The power supply for the SRAM is selected from whichever of the PC-V

CC

, BT1 and BT2 has the highest voltage. The initial voltage of both BT1 and BT2 is about 3 V. If the power to the Host computer is turned on, the PC-V

CC

will be about 5 V. If the Host computer is turned off, the PC-V

CC will be about 0 V. Consequently, when the Host computer is turned on, PC-V

CC

will be sued to supply power to the SRAM. In this situation, their battery power for both BT1 and BT2 will be conserved for later usage.

When the Host computer is turned off, the battery that has the higher voltage will be used to supply power to the SRAM. Any data stored in the SRAM will be retained as long as the power is higher than 2.0 V. Consequently, the voltage level for either BT1 or BT2 must be higher than 2.0 V in order to retain the SRAM data.

The PCI-M512/M512U cards include a low battery indicator and a bad battery indicator for both BT1

and BT2. Refer to Section 2.5

for more information.



2.6 PCI-M512 Vendor and Device IDs

Appendix: Daughter Board

A1. DB-16P

The DB-16P is a 16-channel isolated Digital Input daughter board with optically isolated inputs that consist of a bi-directional optocoupler with a resistor to allow current sensing. The DB-16P can be used to sense DC signals from TTL levels up to +24 V, or can be used to sense a wide range of AC signals. This board can also be used to isolate the Host computer from high common-mode voltages, ground loops and transient voltage spikes that often occur in industrial environments. Note: The lowest nibbles, bit_0 to bit_3, are used by the PCI-M512, so only the highest 12-bits, bit_4 to bit_15, are available.
