4. Configuration
This chapter provides information for configuring the CP382 board for operation.
4.1 Jumper Settings
The CP382 does not have any jumpers which require configuring.
4.2 Digital Output Signal Properties
In addition to the output signal type and its range, which have been specified in chapter 1, para-
graph 1.3.1, system integrators must be aware of certain output configuration requirements for
the CP382. The following paragraphs provide some information regarding individual connec-
tion configuration requirements.
4.2.1 Channels
The CON2 connector of the CP382 is designed so that there is one output pin per channel.
This is illustrated in Figure 2-2, which shows the front panel connector pinout, with the 24 chan-
nels shown starting at the top of the connector with channel 0 (cluster A).
The following sections address the basic requirements.
4.2.2 Connection of External Supply
The CP382 requires an external voltage for operation.
The input connection for this voltage is realized via the 62-pin front panel connector CON2. The
pinout of this connector is provided in table 2-1.
The three clusters have split supply planes, so that it is possible to provide each cluster (clus-
ters A, B and C) with a separate voltage, with different voltage values within the defined range
(see also table 1-1).
Note...
Each channel has a maximum current of 0.5 A. In situations where many chan-
nels are carrying a high current, separate, larger gauge cables for the external
power supply should be used.
