Range has been designed with the industrial user in mind, and feature real-world interfaces such as relays, Darlington drivers and optically isolated inputs
Available from Audon Electronics is a new low-cost range of PCI digital I/O cards compatible with the Labview and Wonderware InTouch Scada software packages.
The range has been designed with the industrial user in mind, and feature real-world interfaces such as relays, Darlington drivers and optically isolated inputs. The PCI-4664 is a high density 64 channel digital input/output card.
The I/O lines are divided into four groups, each group being configurable as inputs or outputs.
Input groups have a software programmable debounce feature to eliminate contact bounce and inputs 0 to16 can also be programmed to generate an interrupt when a change in input state is detected.
All outputs feature a 25mA current sink capability, and output status can be read back to confirm an output state.
The PCI-4264 and PCI-4064 are optically isolated I/O cards.
The PCI-4264 has 32 opto-isolated inputs rated 5-24VDC, again with a software programmable debounce function, and 32 opto-isolated Darlington transistor outputs.
The PCI-4064 has 64 optically isolated Darlington transistor outputs.
The Darlington transistor outputs are based on the ULN2803 device and can switch 50V at up to 500mA.
The PCI-4288 has 16 relays and 16 optically isolated digital inputs.
The relays are a mix of change-over and signal contact types rated 0.3A/120VAC, DC/1A 30VDC.
The card has an LED per relay to indicate whether a relay is on or off.
The opto-inputs are again rated 5-24VDC with a software programmable debounce function.
All cards come with a comprehensive software development kit with a.dll, ActiveX, and numerous examples in Visual Basic and C++.
Also included are LabView VI's with LabView examples and Intouch drivers.
