FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The USB-IIRO4-2SM is a USB multifunction device, incorporating a USB 4-port hub internally to provide four optically isolated digital inputs,
four electromechanical relay outputs and two ports of RS-232/422/485 serial communication in one small product. The digital portion is ideal
for adding easy-to-install isolated input and relay output capabilities to any PC or embedded system with a USB port. This single USB multi-
function device is ideal for a variety of applications such as industrial monitoring, control and communication.
DIGITAL
The isolated, non-polarized inputs may be driven by either DC sources of 3-31 V (or higher by special order) or AC sources at frequencies of
40Hz to 10kHz. Optically isolating the digital inputs from each other, and from the computer, assures smooth, error-free data transmission in
noisy, real-world environments. The relay outputs are de-energized at power-up to prevent an unintended control output signal. Data to the
relays is latched. The relay contacts and isolated inputs are available via a mounted DB25 connector or, for OEMs, a 26-pin IDC type vertical
keyed shrouded header. For testing purposes and low current applications 5VDC and ground pins are provided on the same connector. The
digital portion of the USB-IIRO4-2SM is excellent in applications where only a few on-board relays are required and a small number of inputs
must be isolated such as in test equipment, instrumentation and process control.
SERIAL
The serial section is a two-port asynchronous serial communication adapter designed for use with any computer system equipped with a USB
port. Multiple peripherals such as POS, barcode scanners, scales, date-entry terminals, data acquisition modules, and automation equipment
can now be recognized and used on a single USB port. Simply install the included software and connect the unit to your USB port. It instantly
provides two RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial ports which can be selected on a port by port basis. It is now easier than ever to add serial
ports and serial devices to any application along with easy plug-and-play and hot-swapping features.

PC/104 - USB Isolated I/O
Type FT232 UARTs are used as asynchronous communication elements. This includes 384-byte receive / 128-byte transmit FIFO buffers for
high data throughput and to protect against lost data in multitasking systems. Crystal oscillators located on the card permit precise baud rate
capability up to 230.4K for use in RS-232 mode, using ICL3243 type drivers. Speeds up to 921.6K are achievable using RS-422 & RS-485.
The driver/receivers used are type SP491 which are capable of driving long communication lines at high baud rates. They can drive up to ±60
mA on balanced lines and receive inputs as low as 200 mV differential signal superimposed on common mode noise of +12V to -7V. In case
of communication conflict, the driver/receivers feature thermal shutdown. The serial communications are conveniently provided through two
DB9 board mounted male connectors with adjacent LEDs indicating serial port activity.
ENCLOSURE
The USB-IIRO4-2SM includes a rugged steel enclosure with attractive powder coat finish and anti-skid bottom. The unit enclosure is 4 inches
wide by 4 inches deep by 1.8 inches high. The adapter is supplied with a 6 foot USB cable. In addition to the two serial LEDs the unit features
two additional easy-to-read LEDs indicating digital I/O enabled/ready and USB power. Port protocol is configured by opening the enclosure
and configuring jumpers on the circuit board. It is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. The OEM version provides just the
board without the enclosure and is ideal for a variety of embedded OEM applications.
OEM USB/104 FORM FACTOR
What makes the OEM option unique is that its PCB size and mounting holes match the PC/104 form factor (without the
bus connections). This allows our rugged digital/serial board to be added to any PCI-104 or PC/104 stack by connect-
ing it to a simple USB port usually included on-board with embedded CPU form factors such as EBX, EPIC, and
PC/104 - especially important since many newer CPU chipsets do not support ISA and have plenty of USB ports. Fu-
ture stacks will be using the extremely fast PCI Express bus which is essentially overkill for simple digital monitoring
and control. The USB-IIRO4-2SM OEM board can also be added into many pre-existing standard PC/104 based systems and enclosures.
High Retention USB Connector
The ever-growing presence of USB in the industrial/military marketplace has driven the need for USB connections to be reliable, dependable,
and unfailing. Gone are the days of loose USB connections. A type B USB connector is used on all USB/104 products which features a high
retention design that complies with the class 1, Div II minimum withdrawal requirement of over 3 pounds of force (15 Newtons). This connec-
tor has an orange color-coded insulator to quickly differentiate it from standard USB connectors. Using these USB connectors increases
reliability in your system and ensures a tight connection. For embedded OEM type applications, an additional miniature USB input header is
provided in parallel with the type B connector.
APPLICATIONS
The industrial I/O market commonly uses electromechanical Form C relays due to their robustness and ability to withstand unexpected surge
currents allowing for increased flexibility in switching capability. These relays are also used where small reed relays are inadequate due to
their susceptibility to contact damage. The USB-IIRO4-2SM with its tiny enclosure and easy connectivity provides portable connections to
laptops for this kind of monitoring and control for the mobile test market. The full USB-IIRO4-2SM unit can be used in the following markets.

*Notes on Isolation: Opto-Isolators and connectors are rated for at
least 500V, but isolation voltage breakdowns will vary and is affected
by factors like cabling, spacing of pins, spacing between traces on the
PCB, humidity, dust and other environmental factors. This is a safety
issue so a careful approach is required. For CE certification, isolation
was specified at 40V AC and 60V DC. The design intention was to
eliminate the influence of common mode. Use proper wiring tech-
niques to minimize voltage between channels and to ground. For
example, when working with AC voltages do not connect the hot side
of the line to an input. Tolerance of higher isolation voltage can be
obtained on request by applying a conformal coating to the board.

'daisy-chained' USB 1.1 bus to which you can attach an additional
ACCES I/O USB product or any 3rd party USB devices you may wish.
Up to 180mA is still available without requiring the added device to
have its own 5VDC power source. The second five pin connector
allows the board to have an onboard USB connection rather than the
standard type B connector that is accessible externally on the enclo-
