The PCL-734 offers 32 isolated digital output channels on a PC add- on card. Its isolated output channels provide 1,000 V of protection. Each I/O channel corresponds to a bit in a PC I/O port. This makes the PCL-734 very easy to program.

Each of the eight isolated digital output channels come equipped with eight darlington transistors featuring common emitters and integral suppression diodes for inductive loads. If the external voltage (5 to 40 V) is connected to each isolated output channel (IDO) and its isolated digital output turns on (max. of 200 mA per channel), the card's current will sink from the external voltage.

Programming the PCL-734 is extremely simple. Each output channel corresponds to a bit in the card's registers. To turn on an output channel you write a ‘‘1” to the corresponding bit. The card requires four I/O register addresses. The address of each register is specified as an offset from the card's base address.
