The SDM-IO16A has 16 ports that expand the digital input and/or output capability of Campbell Scientific data loggers. This module offers similar functionality to the control ports of the majority of Campbell Scientific data loggers.
The SDM-IO16A was designed to replace the SDM-IO16. The SDM-IO16A is more compact in comparison and has gas-discharge tubes fitted on all inputs for improved surge protection. It is fully software-compatible but also includes an option to run in a special high-speed mode that allows pulse measurements up to 8 kHz on all channels and four times more resolution on some timing measurements.
Leer másWhen a port is configured as an input, it can measure the logical state of the port, count pulses, and measure the frequency of—and determine the duty cycle of—signals applied to the port. In pulse-counting mode, there is also an option to enable switch-debounce filtering so the unit can accurately count switch-closure events. The SDM-IO16A measures the frequency of signals by measuring the time between pulses, thereby giving relatively high-resolution measurements even for low-frequency signals.
The module can also be programmed to generate an interrupt signal to the data logger when one or more input signals changes state.
When configured as an output, each port can be set to 0 or 5 V by the data logger. In addition to being able to drive normal logic-level inputs, when an output is set HI, a "boost" circuit allows direct control of some low-voltage valves and relays. (Refer to the Specifications section on the web page.)
The SDM-IO16A is a synchronously addressed data logger peripheral. Data logger control ports 1, 2, and 3 are used to address the SDM-IO16A and exchange digital data with it. This module uses advanced error-checking techniques to ensure correct transmission of data to and from the module. Up to 16 SDM-IO16As may be addressed, making it possible to control a maximum of 256 ports from the first three data logger control ports.

Support for all the functions requires CRBasic’s SDMIO16 instruction.
In input mode, the power consumption varies from 600 µA to 4.5 mA depending on the mode and input frequencies. The data logger's rechargeable power supply can often power the SDM-IO16A in these pulse-counting or status-input applications. However, when the SDM-IO16A is used in an output mode and is driving significant loads, Campbell Scientific recommends using an external power supply.
The SDM-IO16A requires a desiccated, non-condensing environment; a Campbell Scientific enclosure is recommended. An integral mounting bracket, grommets, and screws attach the SDM-IO16A to the backplate of a Campbell Scientific enclosure.
This cabling is typically sold as a part of the sensors. If cabling is not provided, you can use pn 9922 two-conductor cable. When the distance between the data logger and the SDM-IO16A is significant, verify that the sensor cable has adequate resistance/capacitance specifications. Also, avoid sensors with completion resistors in their pigtails; it's preferable to have the completion resistors at the data logger.
CRBasic program demonstrating twelve functions of the SDM-IO16A using the SDMIO16() instruction. This program is not an example of a normal operational program, but rather sections may be cut and pasted into other programs with other measurement, control, and data storage functions.
