The DIO-16.PCI provides 8 Inputs and 8 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 DIO-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 standard input resistor value is 560 Ohms, minimum turn-on voltage is 2.8V, maximum input voltage is 12V and maximum current is 20mA. If your application requires other values, please refer to the user manual or contact a Sealevel support specialist.
The 8 reed relay outputs provide high quality, long life, low current (10 Watt maximum), dry contact switch closures. Reed relays are well suited for low current applications. The relays are normally open, and close when energized. Writing a "1" to the proper port bit can individually energize each relay. For your reference, we have provided a sample wiring diagram for a reed relay output circuit.
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.
