7-2 Using the Parallel Port
Parallel Port Connections (TB1)
•
Terminals D0 through D15 are for message number and data input.
•
Terminal PD is for the enabling or disabling of the parallel port. If PD is
tied high, the port is disabled and the DL5 will ignore data on data lines
D0-D15. If PD is low, the port is enabled and the DL5 will read and
respond to data on data lines D0-D15. As long as PD is controlled
separately, using PD will allow multiple DL5’s to be connected to one
set of outputs (multiplexed).
•
The input voltages for terminals D0 through D15 and PD can vary from
5 to 24 volts DC. The figure below shows a circuit diagram of an input
terminal.
