    Figure 3.4. Input Circuit < PIO-32/32B(PCI)V > The input circuits of interface blocks of the PIO-32/32B(PCI)V are illustrated in Figure 3.4. The signal inputs are isolated by opto-couplers (ready to accept current sinking output signals). The board therefore requires an additional power supply isolated from the PC system to drive the photo-isolated circuits.
