Read full descriptionHide description
PCI digital I/O board featuring 16 opto-coupler isolated inputs and 16 opto-coupler isolated open-collector outputs (12-24VDC). Supports low-profile and standard PCI slots, interrupt on all inputs, digital filter, surge protection, and Windows/Linux driver support.
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.
- Fewer I/O points
- No interrupt support
- No digital filter
- Non-isolated
- 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.
