Rail11 11-Pin Relay Base Mini-PLC Kit: Order Code - Rail11

GREAT FOR QUICK DEVELOPMENT

Kit includes 11-pin box and plug-base to fit standard 11-pin relay socket base. The CPU is a MEGA8 TQFP (normally MEGA8L) with internal RC oscillator, and the SMD PCB supports a DS1307 RTC (with 32,768kHz crystal and Lithium Battery backup) and a 24Cxx serial memory (both on the same bus, 'hard' addressed). Also, the board has a 16pin DIL header for LCD modules (a 2x8 fits nicely in the enclosure top, see thumbnail). The digital inputs connect to INT0, T1 and ADC0 (ADC0 also has an additional 0805 form factor to 0V, if a divider is required). Optically isolated outputs connect to PC.1, PD.1 (TxD) and PB.3 (OC2) enabling serial data, PWM, etc. A divider directly on the Vdd input connects to ADC2 for voltage monitoring. The board contains populated, as standard, the CPU, a piezo buzzer, two indicator LED's and two tactile switches. The programming interface is a 6-pin header. All inputs may also be protected by AVX 0805 form-factor suppression devices, and a serial resistor (i.e. an 0805 to 0V and an 0805 to the data pin).
