SAIA PCDII

Disclaimer: This posting is a work in progress. I’ve mode this some years ago and was asked to provide some documentation:

I have parts of a SAIA PCDII that I wanted to make use out of. The ourput boards have 6 relais each and 8 of them are connected to a backplane connector. This makes 48 mains voltage (low current) switchable channels.
Confusing what I mean? Have a look at this video

I’ve found some of the pictures I took while working on this and just a few days ago I found the box with the hardware itself.

For now the old pictures.

One of the output modules
I desoldered the ICs to work out the schematic

Eight output boards in the extension case

 

Unfortunately I just this one picture of the pin out.

out of focus and confusing pin out – sorry
