DESCRIPTION

Eight 24-Bit Analog Inputs for RASPBERRY Pi

Raspberry Pi has no analog signal processing capability. This HAT can read eight differential or common ground analog signals with 24 bit precision and up to 64kBPS data rate. Up to eight cards can be stacked on top of one Raspberry Pi. When multiple cards are stacked, the master card can send the clock and sync signal to all slave cards, allowing synchronized data acquisition over all the channels. It has also an RS-485 port, a power LED and a push button that can be used to shut down the Raspberry Pi. Pluggable connectors make the card easy to use when multiple cards are stacked up.

Stackable to 8 levels, the card works with all Raspberry Pi versions, from Zero to 5.

Two of the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins are used for I2C communication. Another pin is allocated for the interrupt handler, leaving 23 GPIO pins available for the user.

The RS485/MODBUS port permits almost unlimited expandability. On board Real Time Clock with battery backup keeps the time almost indefinitely in case of power failure. And last but not least, a hardware watchdog can power cycle the Raspberry Pi in case of software lockup.

TVS diodes on all inputs protect the card for external ESD. On-board resettable fuse protects it from accidental shorts. The card can be powered from a 5V/5A or from 12V-24VDC power supply. In both cases it provides up to 4A continuous and 5A peak to Raspberry Pi.

COMPATIBILITY

The Eight 24-Bit Analog Inputs card is compatible with all Raspberry Pi versions from Zero to 5.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The Eight 24-Bit Analog Inputs card needs 5V to operate and can be powered from its own 2 pin pluggable connector. The card draws 50mA. If power is applied to the 2 pin pluggable connector, no other power supply is needed for the Raspberry Pi.

LED INDICATORS

A power LED shows when power is applied to the board. Eight LEDs shows the status of groups of 8 inputs. Inputs 1-8 or 9-16 can be selected from software.

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION

A six position DIP switch is used to select the source of the RS485 port and the position of the card in the stack, if multiple cards are used. The left-most position is the RS485 terminator. Set this switch ON if the card is the last one on the RS485 chain. The next two positions select the source of the RS485 port. Set the switches ON to drive the RS485 from the Raspberry Pi, or OFF to drive the port from the local processor.

STACKING MULTIPLE CARDS

Up to eight cards can be stacked on your Raspberry Pi. Three positions of the configuration DIP Switch labeled ID0, ID1, ID2 are used to select the stack level. Cards can be stacked in any order.

RESET PUSHBUTTON

Shutting down the Raspberry Pi by turning off the power can result in SD Card failure. To prevent this, a shutdown command needs to be used before power cut-off. But this requires a monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected to the Pi.

A momentary on push button installed at the edge of the card provides a convenient way to shut down the Raspberry Pi. The button is routed to pin 37 (GPIO 26). You need to write a script which monitors this pin, and if pressed for more than a desired time, issues the shut-down command.

This works well after a short test.

Hi, this works well after a short test. The Modbus and terminal interfaces are great. I like that all channels can be calibrated individually. I wish we could use this at work too—right now, it's only in the home lab. We'll see!
