Product Description

Accuracy, precision and smooth operation are vital in machine automation, especially in manufacturing, computer-based cutting, printing and other similar processes. These systems require solid control over voltage supply. For this purpose, relay boards are being used. Okuma Corporation is a leading manufacturer of a wide variety of computer boards, including the relay boards. The part number E4809-770-032-1 is a fine example of smart technology, featuring an array of switches and relays. It features terminals for input and output devices and controls the voltage supply across these devices. Since different relay channels exist, the relay board by Okuma features independently programmable control for each channel.

As a main component of a CNC system, the E4809-770-032-1 relay board can be used with two types of Amp Control PC boards, V5.3 or V6 versions. Since multiple devices can be connected, the relay board offers smooth communication across each of them. The E4809-770-032-1 as a communication port, can be connected to different host devices, such as laptops or desktops, and single board computers. At the same time, it is enclosed in a case to form an electrical isolation or OEM circuitry that prevents internal damage to other parts of the system, in case of voltage of current fluctuations.

The E4809-770-032-1 features CSMA/CD protocols, where MA is a Multiple Access protocol while CD is a Collision Detection protocol. With Carrier Sense Multiple Access, it is possible to monitor the system when the relay board is inactive, as when it is free the DAQ transmission starts. That means, the moment the E4809-770-032-1 becomes free, the DAQ module has the prospect of transmitting data frames. The CD protocol ensures collision-free transmission when 2 DAQ modules transmit data frames at the same time.
