PCIDIO

The PC card PCIDIO offers up to 64 optically isolated digital I/O, optimised for 24V. Each digital I/O can be used as digital input or output and interrupt source as needed. The board also features a Timer an and a Watchdog.

The PCI short format unit consists of the PCIDIO32 base card with 32 digital I/O, which can be extended by plugging in the optional PCIDIOEX extension board to add another 32 digital IO to make the PCIDIO64 with 64 IO configurable as In or Out without taking up a further slot in the PC.

The main applications areas are automation technology, process technology, measurement technology, control technology and in construction of test control units.

Features

  • 32 digital I/O on the PCIDIO32 base card, optically / galvanically isolated from the computer and optimised for 24V
  • A further 32 digital I/O on the optional PCIDIOEX extension board, optically / galvanically isolated from the computer and base card and optimised for 24V
  • Each IO freely usable as an input or output and interrupt source
  • Galvanic isolation voltage min. 1500Vrms

Outputs

  • Max. 1A output current per output
  • Direct connection of resistive, capacitive or inductive loads
  • Permanently short-circuit proof with automatic restart attempts and overvoltage protection
  • Short-circuit recognition for diagnostic purposes
  • Programmable, computer-independent Watchdog for the outputs

Inputs

  • Switching threshold optimised for 24VDC
  • Input current at 24VDC approx. 3 mA each input
  • Each input can trigger interrupts, with programmable edge
  • Unused inputs can be left open

Other features
