The DIO-32.PCI provides 16 Inputs and 16 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-32.PCI is the perfect
choice for integrating unattended status monitoring
equipment, and fallback network switching circuits.
The DIO-32.PCI's 16 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 16 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.
