Introduction The SeaI/O-270U is an optically isolated 7-port USB hub that protects the host computer from spikes, surges and ground loops commonly found in industrial environments. The hub is powered by an industrial grade wall-mount power supply providing a full 500mA to each attached USB peripheral. The SeaI/O-270U is ideal for adding USB ports to a SeaPAC touchscreen HMI system, a Relio R1000 embedded solid-state industrial computer, or a SeaI/O data acquisition “stack”.
