The PLC-16.PCI provides 8 Inputs and 8 Form C Relay Outputs, which can be utilized for PC based control and automation of equipment including sensors, switches, satellite antenna control systems, video and audio studio automation, security control systems, and other industrial automation systems. In addition, the DIO-16.PCI is the perfect choice for integrating unattended status monitoring equipment, and fallback network switching circuits.
The PLC-16.PCI's 8 Inputs provide optical isolation to protect the PC and other sensitive equipment from spikes and ground loop current that can be generated in industrial environments. For your reference, we have provided a sample wiring diagram for an optically isolated input circuit.
The input impedance of each isolated input is 1K ohms. The opto-isolator requires approximately 3 mA to turn on. The maximum input current is 60 mA. Adding additional resistors to the input current limiting resistor can increase the voltage to be sensed. If your application requires other values, please refer to the user manual or contact a Sealevel support specialist.
The 8 Form C reed relay outputs provide higher current capabilities (up to 2A) and are optimized for 24V operation. Form C relays can be wired for either normally open or normally closed operation.
Our SeaI/O Family of Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP and Linux Software drivers is included along with sample applications and utilities for rapid application development.
