Features and Functions Digital Input/Output The U2600A Series USB isolated digital input/output modules provide up to 64-bit of high density opto-isolated digital input and output for USB 2.0 interface-based industrial applications. The 32-bit U2651A DIO model is segmented into eight channels with four channels as digital input channels (CH101 to CH104) and four channels as digital output channels (CH201 to CH204).
Features and Functions Isolated digital input channels The U2600A Series USB isolated DIO modules are equipped with up to 64-bit of opto-isolated digital input, which provides electrical isolation protection to the inner DIO circuitry. The circuit diagram of an isolated input bit is shown in Figure 3-1.
