ICOM-200 / 201 
Opto inputs 
The ICOM-200/201 has eight optocoupler inputs suited for an input voltage 
range of 5...12 VDC. To use higher input voltages, as 24V for example, an 
additional serial resistor in the input line is used. The resistor value is selected 
in accordance to 4...50mA input current needed for the logical “1” level.

The internal resistance is 680 Ohm / 0,25 W. If now another input voltage is 
needed, the totally required resistance can be calculated with the following 
formula: 
R
ges
 = (U
E
-1,3V)/I
U
E
 =  Input voltage 
 
I
D
 = 
Current into the optocoupler 
 
R
ges
 =  Total resistance
 
Example: 
Is e.g. an input voltage of 24 V with a current of 10 mA wanted, you get 
from the above formula R
ges
 = 2270 Ohm. This means either the internal 
680 Ohm resistor has be replaced with a 2200 Ohm resistor (rounded to 
norm value), or a resistor of 1500 Ohm has to be connected in series.
 
The optocoupled inputs are realized as extended inputs of the Tiny Tiger. 
They can be accessed under logical port address 11h (physical 1). 
Both USER_EPORT instructions in the sample program are urgent.
