High-Density PCI
Digital I/O

The PIO-16/16L(LPCI)H is a PCI-compliant interface board providing 16 opto-coupler isolated inputs and 16 opto-coupler isolated outputs. With support for 12-24VDC I/O, interrupt capability on all inputs, and a digital filter for noise immunity, this board is ideal for industrial control and monitoring applications. The low-profile design fits both standard and low-profile PCI slots.

Standard PCI I/O
  • Fewer I/O points
  • No interrupt support
  • No digital filter
  • Non-isolated
PIO-16/16L(LPCI)H Advantages
  • 32 total I/O points (16 in / 16 out)
  • Interrupt on all inputs
  • Digital filter for noise immunity
  • Opto-coupler isolation (1000Vrms)

Flexible PCI compatibility — supports both low-profile and standard PCI slots with the bundled interchangeable bracket, making it suitable for space-constrained industrial computers.


Industrial I/O
Features

The PIO-16/16L(LPCI)H is designed for reliable industrial I/O applications. Opto-coupler isolation (1000Vrms) provides excellent noise immunity. The digital filter prevents false recognition from noise or chattering. Output circuits include zener diode surge protection and overcurrent protection.

  • High-density I/O — 16 opto-isolated inputs and 16 opto-isolated outputs in a compact low-profile form factor.
  • Interrupt capability — all 16 input signals can be used as interrupt requests with edge selection.
  • Digital filter — prevents false recognition of input signals from noise or chattering (software configurable).
  • Output protection — zener diode surge voltage protection and overcurrent protection (8-channel units).
  • Opto-coupler isolation — 1000Vrms isolation between PCI bus and I/O interfaces.
  • Universal key — 32-bit, 33MHz PCI bus support with universal key.
