SNAP D-Series Racks

Description
SNAP D-series racks are designed for discrete control SNAP-D8M Rack
applications and can accommodate 4, 6, 8, or 12 SNAP 4-
channel digital modules. These racks use an industry-standard
50-pin header connector, which allows these racks to be used
in a variety of applications.
The logic side of the I/O circuitry can be controlled directly or
by using an Opto 22 PCIe-AC5 (PCI Express bus), PCI-AC5 (PCI
bus) or G4AC5 or AC5 (ISA bus) PC adapter card.
In addition, the 4-module-position SNAP-D4M can be used
with:
• A Raspberry Pi® and Opto 22’s Digital I/O Carrier Board for
Raspberry Pi (part number OPTO-P1-40P)
• Opto 22’s Classic brain boards, which use one of Opto 22’s
industry-standard protocols (mistic®, Optomux®, or Pamux®)
to control the I/O and communicate either serially or in
parallel
Field devices are wired directly to the top-mounted removable
connectors on the SNAP I/O modules. The module and rack
design allows modules to simply “snap” on and off the
mounting rack.
SNAP racks use a retention-rail locking system that holds
modules securely to the rack. Use two 4-40 by ½-inch
standard machine screws to secure each module in position.
Part Numbers
All SNAP racks offer panel mounting and the option of DIN-rail
mounting. SNAP racks use a single 5 VDC power source. Part Description
