Opto 22: Breakout board

With the SNAP-UDC-HDB-G4 breakout board, OEMs, machine builders, and automation professionals can connect 32-point SNAP digital I/O modules to higher loads and gain the reliability of fused outputs and isolated inputs, while the space-saving SNAP-UDC-HDB breakout board provides convenient spring-clamp connectors for up to 32 field devices, all in a small footprint. Both new breakout boards are part of Opto 22’s SNAP PAC System, which includes programmable automation controllers (PACs), Ethernet-based I/O systems, and PAC Project automation software.

The SNAP-UDC-HDB-G4 breakout board holds up to 32 popular and guaranteed-for-life Opto 22 single-point G4 digital I/O modules (sold separately). These modules can provide up to 3 amps current switching or sensing per point, fused outputs, isolated inputs, and per-point LED indicators, depending on the G4 modules selected. For example, using G4 digital output modules on the breakout board lets a SNAP-ODC-32-SNK 32-point module switch up to 12 times its regular current load of 0.25 amps. Spring-clamp connectors secure field wiring and reduce installation time.

The SNAP-UDC-HDB breakout board consolidates wiring for a 32-point SNAP digital I/O module into a compact 4.0 in. x 3.3 in. (101 mm x 83 mm) board, which simplifies installation, reduces labor costs, and saves valuable space inside enclosures and machines. The SNAP-UDC-HDB board includes convenient per-point LED indicators that show point status and are invaluable for troubleshooting and maintenance. Easy-to-use spring-clamp connectors hold field wiring securely in place.

SNAP-UDC-HDB-G4 breakout boards connect to SNAP-IDC-32DN and SNAP-IDC-32N digital input modules, and SNAP-ODC-32-SNK and SNAP-ODC-32-SNK-FM digital output modules. SNAP-UDC-HDB breakout boards work with all SNAP 32-point digital input and output modules. Both breakout boards connect to these 32-point SNAP digital I/O modules using the SNAP-HD-BF6 cable, available separately from Opto 22.

The SNAP-UDC-HDB-G4 breakout board are available at a list price of $192.00 USD. G4 I/O modules are not included with this breakout board and must be supplied separately. The SNAP-UDC-HDB breakout board is available immediately at a list price of $130.00 USD. Both breakout boards connect to SNAP I/O modules using Opto 22’s SNAP-HD-BF6 cable, which must be supplied separately.
