Note:
The PC-DIO-96/PnP cannot sink sufficient current to drive the
SSR-OAC-5 and SSR-OAC-5A output modules. However, it can drive the
SSR-ODC-5 output module and all SSR input modules available from
National Instruments.
If you need to drive an SSR-OAC-5 or SSR-OAC-5A, you can either use a
non-inverting digital buffer chip between the PC-DIO-96/PnP and the SSR
backplane, or you can use a DIO-23F or MIO Series board with
appropriate connections (for example, SC-205X and cables).
With the PC-DIO-96/PnP, a PC can serve as a digital I/O system
controller for laboratory testing, production testing, and industrial
process monitoring and control.
Detailed specifications of the PC-DIO-96/PnP are in Appendix A,
Specifications.
