DAT instruments, DAT CB programmable controllers

DAT CB programmable controllers are a set of programmable boards. Many DAT instruments projects use these boards. I began designing these boards on March 2002 and the project is still active. There is a main controller (the DAT CB CPU board) and some I/O boards: analog inputs, digital inputs, mosfet outputs and relay outputs. All boards are connected via a bus, so it is possible to create a distributed logic network. Since 2007 the DAT CB CPU controller (that was programmable in Assembler) has been replaced by DAT DR MR4A2R board, which is programmable in C language.

DAT CB programmable controllers, other boards

There are some other boards to complete DAT CB programmable controllers. They are useful to convert outputs from mosfet to relay or to convert inputs from matrix to single pushbutton. There is also a protection board, useful to limit current flowing into sensors in order to avoid damages in case of short circuits.
