This chapter provides information you should know before using the product.
About the Board
This product is a PCI Express bus-compliant interface board used to provide a digital signal I/O
function on a PC. The product can input and output digital signals at high voltages (24 - 48VDC).
DIO-1616H-PE features 16 opto-coupler isolated inputs and 16 opto-coupler isolated open-collector
outputs. You can use 16 input signals as interrupt inputs. Equipped with the digital filter function to
prevent wrong recognition of input signals is provided and output transistor protection circuit (surge
voltage protection and over current protection).
DIO-3232H-PE features 32 opto-coupler isolated inputs and 32 opto-coupler isolated open-collector
outputs. You can use 32 input signals as interrupt inputs. Equipped with the digital filter function to
prevent wrong recognition of input signals is provided and output transistor protection circuit (surge
voltage protection and over current protection).
Windows/Linux driver is bundled with this product.
Possible to be used as a data recording device for LabVIEW, with dedicated libraries.
Features
- Opto-coupler isolated input (supporting current sink output) and opto-coupler isolated open-
collector output (current sink type)
DIO-1616H-PE has the opto-coupler isolated input 16channels (supporting current sink output) whose
response speed is 200µsec and opto-coupler isolated open-collector output 16channels (current sink
type).
DIO-3232H-PE has the opto-coupler isolated input 32channels (supporting current sink output) whose
response speed is 200µsec and opto-coupler isolated open-collector output 16channels (current sink
type).
Common terminal provided per 16channels, capable of supporting a different external power supply.
Supporting driver voltages of high voltages (24 - 48 VDC) for I/O
- Opto-coupler bus isolation
As the PC is isolated from the input and output interfaces by opto-couplers, this product has excellent
noise performance.
- You can use all of the input signals as interrupt request signals.
You can use all of the input signals as interrupt request signals and also disable or enable the interrupt in
bit units and select the edge of the input signals, at which to generate an interrupt.
- Windows/Linux compatible driver libraries are attached.
Using the attached driver library API-PAC(W32) makes it possible to create applications of
Windows/Linux. In addition, a diagnostic program by which the operations of hardware can be
checked is provided.
