DynamicSignals / Kinetic Systems P300-343A 16-Channel Form C Relay Output Mezzanine Card

The DynamicSignals/Kinetic Systems P300-343A is a 16-channel Form C relay output mezzanine card for VXIbus systems. It has isolated SPDT relay contacts via optical isolators (LED/photo-transistor), enabling switching control in industrial automation and process control applications. The card mounts directly into Kinetic Systems V387 VXIbus modules, supporting up to four mezzanine cards for 32-channel configurable I/O. Each channel draws 5 mA to 15 mA and features programmable input filtering from 5 µs to over 1 second in 64 discrete steps. Contact closure represents logical "1." The system supports multiple isolated input voltage versions - 5 Vdc, 12 Vdc, 16 Vdc, 24 Vdc, 28 Vdc, 48 Vdc, and 120 Vac - with switching thresholds set at approximately half the rated input voltage. Integrated power-up self-test and software-initiated diagnostics provide Pass/Fail indication. Pattern recognition operates in 16-bit increments. Handshake logic is programmable with selectable external handshake support. ## Technical Specifications • Channels: 16 • Output Type: Form C Relay (SPDT reed relays) • Input Current per Channel: 5 mA to 15 mA • Input Isolation: Optical isolator (LED/photo-transistor) with post-isolator filtering • Filter Time Constant: 5 µs to over 1 second, 64 programmable steps • Supported Input Voltages: 5 Vdc, 12 Vdc, 16 Vdc, 24 Vdc, 28 Vdc, 48 Vdc, 120 Vac • Switching Threshold: ≈50% of rated input voltage • Logic Convention: Contact closure (voltage present) = logical "1" • Form Factor: Mezzanine card for VXIbus module insertion ## Key Features • Optical isolation for each input channel • Programmable input filtering in 64 discrete steps • Automatic power-up self-test with software trigger capability • 16-bit programmable pattern recognition • Optional external handshake circuitry with programmable logical sense • Configurable with up to four mezzanine cards per V387 module ## Typical Applications • Industrial automation and control systems • Process control switching operations • VXI-based test and measurement systems • Equipment requiring isolated relay actuation ## Compatibility & Integration The P300-343A integrates with Kinetic Systems V387 VXIbus modules via standard mezzanine card insertion.
