What Are NCD Expansion Modules? NCD Expansion Modules were designed to add capabilities to the IOServo and the IOAD16+8 IO controllers. Firmware is already built into these controllers for communication to many of our expansion modules. In some cases, it is possible to use several types of expansion modules with a single controller, allowing complete freedom to choose capabilities that best match your needs. This manual will discuss the wiring, programming, and usage of every expansion module we offer. This document will be updated as new expansion modules are added to our product line. Please note that NCD Expansion Modules were not designed for use with any device other than the IOServo and the IOAD16+8 controllers. We do not warrant the use of our expansion modules with a computer parallel port or any other device that is not explicitly described in this manual.

Connect to IO Expansion Bus of IOServo or IOAD16+8
Jumper Settings: Up to 3 AD1216 expansion modules can be attached to a single IO bus. Jumpers J1, J2, and J3 are used to select identification numbers 0, 1, and 2 respectively. The software commands issued to read analog values will include provisions for selecting which device you are speaking to. Programming: The firmware built into the IOServo and IOAD16+8 handles all communication to the AD1216. Please see the manual for these controllers for programming examples. Compatibility: The AD1216 is not compatible with Port C on the IOAD16+8. The AD1216 cannot be used in conjunction with the PAR24 expansion module. The AD1216 has not been tested for compatibility with other types of expansion modules on the same I/O bus.
Analog Inputs 8-15. 0-5 VDC Inputs.
Connections: The AD1216 should be connected to the IOServo or the IOAD16+8 via the 10-pin header. Up to 3 AD1216 expansion modules can be paralleled on the same IO data bus.
Analog Inputs 8-15. 0-5 VDC Inputs.
Up to 3 AD1216 expansion modules can be attached to a single IO bus, allowing you to monitor up to 48 channels at 12-bit resolution. Each analog input channel is rated at 0-5 VDC.
Device Select Jumpers: Up to 3 AD1216 Expansion Modules can share a SINGLE IO Expansion Bus. Each AD1216 gives you 16 analog inputs. When connecting additional AD1216 Expansion Modules, use the Device Select jumpers to define the numeric identity of the board, 0, 1, or 2. Never install more than one jumper on this header. Connecting Multiple AD1216 Expansion Modules: Connect all AD1216 Expansion Modules to the SAME IO Expansion Bus in Parallel. Set the Device Select jumper on each AD1216 board. Do not connect more than 3 boards on a single IO Expansion Bus.
DCM1: High-Power DC Motor Controller The DCM1 is a High-Power DC Motor Controller capable of controlling speed, direction, and braking of a single DC motor. The DCM1 is compatible with DC motors rated at 3-24 VDC, 17 Watts. Here is a table of recommended voltages and loads compatible with the DCM1. Volts DC refers to the operating voltage of the motors. Amps refers to the current draw of the motor. Watts = Volts x Amps. Do not exceed 17 Watts.

Precautions: It may be possible to safely exceed the recommended ratings provided the following conditions are met: 1) Avoid stalling the motor, this significantly increases the load on the DCM1 and can lead to early failure of the Hexfet. 2) Run the high-current motors for short periods of time, allowing the DCM1 to cool down frequently. 3) Use gears to reduce the load on the motor, the smaller the load on the motor, the longer the DCM1 will last. 4) Use a small fan to cool down the Hexfet, this can easily double the current rating capabilities of the controller. 5) Run the DC motor at full speed when possible rather than partial speed. Full speed produces less flyback than partial speeds. This translates to less heat and longer life span.
Connections: The DCM1 should be connected to the IOServo or the IOAD16+8 via the 10-pin header. The IO controller should be powered by an external +5 volt supply when using the DCM1. DO NOT POWER THE IO CONTROLLER WITH A +12 VOLT SUPPLY. This will lead to overload and thermal shutdown of the on-board regulator. A dedicated power supply is required for driving the motors. Connect as shown in the diagram on the next page. Programming: The DCM1 responds to parallel data and can be driven using the Byte Output functions of the IOServo or the IOAD16+8. Since the DCM1 responds to simple parallel commands, it is also compatible with the PAR24 parallel output module, which can be used to control multiple DCM1 controllers from a single I/O data bus. Before sending commands to the DCM1, it is important to send byte 0 to the data bus the DCM1 is connected to. The DCM1 waits for 0 on the data bus before it will allow you to control the motor. This is a safety precaution in the event the output lines are not set to 0 upon startup. In addition, 0 should be used any time you want to “Brake” the motor. When the DCM1 is in brake mode, both relays are activated and both motor leads are connected to V+. Many other manufacturers choose to brake the motor to ground, but we decided this was not a good idea since high flyback voltages may disrupt the ground lines, which are shared with the logic. For this reason, a dedicated power supply should be used to drive any motor connected to the DCM1.

Power Supply Ground
Expansion Module Example Configurations: The following examples show the IOServo used with a variety of different expansion modules to accomplish several different computer control tasks.
Motor Controller: The DCM1 connected to the IOServo. This configuration allows speed and direction control of a single DC motor.
Output Test: In this example, the IOServo is connected to a IOTEST-L, used to monitor the status of the outputs of the LEDs. The outputs can then be connected to other devices.
PAR24 Outputs: In this example, the IOServo is connected to a PAR24. Test the Outputs of the PAR24 using IOTEST-L expansion modules.
Input Test: In this example, the IOServo is connected to a IOTEST-D8. The IOServo should be placed in input mode. This example allows you to read the switch settings under software control.
Expansion Module Example Configurations:
Multi-Function Control: In this example, the IOServo is connected to a PAR24. The Outputs of the PAR24 are monitored by the IOTEST-L LEDs. The outputs from the LEDs are passed through to a TRDVR, DCM1, and 8FET. You can control 16 O.C. devices and a single DC motor with this example.
Expansion Module Example Configurations:
Motor Controllers: The IOServo is connected to a PAR24, which provides 3 Parallel Output Ports. The PAR24 Outputs can then be connected to multiple DCM1 motor controllers. This examples permits speed and direction control of 3 DC motors.
Expansion Module Example Configurations:
IOServo with 48 Outputs: The IOServo is connected to two PAR24 expansion modules in parallel. The outputs are shown controlling four DCM1 motor controllers and two 8FETs. The jumpers on the PAR24 below should be changed to 4, 5, & 6 positions.
Expansion Module Example Configurations:
IOServo with 48 Analog Inputs: The IOServo is connected to three AD1216 expansion modules in parallel. Each AD1216 provides 16 Analog Input Channels at 12-Bits of resolution per channel. All inputs are rated at 0-5VDC.
Jumper should be set to the 0 Position.
Jumper should be set to the 1 Position.
Jumper should be set to the 2 Position.
