USB-DIO96H User's Guide

Digital I/O terminals (FIRSTPORTA Bit 0 to FOURTHPORTC Bit 7)

You can connect up to 96 digital I/O lines to the four banks of screw terminals (Port 1 to Port 4). Connect up to
24 DIO lines to each screw terminal group:
!
Connect up to 24 FIRSTPORT signals to the screw terminals labeled
! Connect up to 24 SECONDPORT signals to the screw terminals labeled
! Connect up to 24 THIRDPORT signals to the screw terminals labeled
! Connect up to 24 FOURTHPORT signals to the screw terminals labeled
You can configure each digital port for either input or output.
When configured for input, you can use the USB-DIO96H digital I/O terminals to detect the state of any TTL
level input. Figure 3-2
the position, FIRSTPORTA Bit 0 reads TRUE (1). When you move the switch to the
+5 V
FIRSTPORTA Bit 0 reads FALSE (0).

Output (sink) current limits
Each DIO pin can sink 64 mA maximum when configured for output.
Output (source) current limits
Each DIO pin can source 24 mA maximum when configured for output. The USB-DIO96H can source a
maximum 2.6 A, total.
