1. Before Using the Product

This chapter provides information you should know before using the product.

This product is a PCI Express bus-compliant interface board that extends the digital signal I/O

functions of a PC.

This product is a 12 - 24VDC opto-coupler isolated type with opto-coupler isolated input 16ch and opto-

coupler isolated open-collector output 16ch. You can use all of the input signals as interrupt inputs.

Equipped with the power for opto-coupler operation (12VDC) supplied and the digital filter function

and output transistor protection circuit (surge voltage protection and overcurrent protection).

This product supports a Low Profile size slot and, if replaced with the supplied bracket, supports a

standard size slot, too.

Windows/Linux driver is bundled with this product.

Using the dedicated library VI-DAQ makes it possible to create each application for LabVIEW.

Opto-coupler isolated input (supporting current sink output) and opto-coupler isolated open-collector

output (current sink type)

This product has the opto-coupler isolated input 16ch (supporting current sink output) whose response

speed is 200  sec and opto-coupler isolated open-collector output 16ch (current sink type).

Common terminal provided per 16ch, capable of supporting a different external power supply.

Supporting driver voltages of 12 - 24 VDC for I/O

Opto-coupler bus isolation

As the PCI Express bus (PC) is isolated from the input and output interfaces by opto-couplers, this

product has excellent noise performance.

Power for opto-coupler operation (12VDC 240mA) supplied internally

As the power to run the opto-couplers is supplied internally, no external power supply is required. The

use of jumpers allows you to decide whether you want to use the internal or external power supply for

every 16 points.

You can use all of the input signals as interrupt events.

You can use all of the input signals as interrupt events and also disable or enable the interrupt in bit

units and select the interrupt edge.
