    8 INPUT/8 OUTPUT PCI CARD 2.3 Technical Description The 8 Input/8 Output PCI Card provides two parallel input/output (I/O) ports. The ports are organized as ports A, B, C, and D. Port A is an input port interfaced to optically isolated inputs, while port C is the reed-relay output port.

This means that signals such as low-voltage AC, motor-servo voltage, and control-relay signals can be “sensed,” (or read) by the PC without risking damage caused by ground loops or ground faults.
  • Page 14 8 INPUT/8 OUTPUT PCI CARD When selecting the input resistor, consider: 1. Power-on voltage for the circuit to sense. 2. The maximum input voltage. Maximum input voltage must not overload the input resistor, and must not overdrive the opto-isolator input-current specification.
