  • Page 47: Connecting Input Signals

    Input Circuit Figure 3.5. Input Circuit The input circuits of interface blocks of the PIO-32/32F(PCI)H are illustrated in Figure 3.5. 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.

  • Page 48: Connecting Output Signals

    Output Circuit Figure 3.7. Output Circuit The output circuits of interface blocks of the PIO-32/32F(PCI)H are illustrated in Figure 3.7. The signal output section is an opto-coupler isolated, open-collector output (current sink type). Driving the output section requires an external power supply isolated from the PC system. The rated output current per channel is 50 mA at maximum.
