-Universal PCI, PCI-X, 3.3V and 5V compatible (Call for PCI-Express availability) -Eight or sixteen optically isolated, non-polarized digital inputs -Eight or sixteen electro-mechanical relay outputs -Opto-isolated channel to channel and channel to ground -Can detect input state change and assert interrupt -Automatically detected under Windows Isolated Digital Input/Output Cards The PCI-IIRO-8 and PCI-IIRO-16 are low-cost, half-size cards that provide isolated input and output for PCI-Bus computers. The cards have eight or sixteen optically-isolated digital inputs for AC or DC control signals and eight or sixteen electro-mechanical relay outputs. PCI-IIRO-8 occupies four consecutive eight-bit registers in I/O space. PCI-IIRO-16 occupies eight consecutive eight-bit registers in I/O space. Inputs The isolated inputs can be driven by either AC or DC and are not polarity sensitive. Input signals are rectified by a diode bridge and applied to the inputs of opto-isolators. A 470 ohm resistor in series provides current limiting. Standard 12/24 AC control transmitter outputs can be accepted as well as DC voltages. The input voltage range is 5V to 24V (rms). To extend the input voltage range, you may connect external resistors in series. Each input circuit contains a switchable slow/fast filter that has a 10 millisecond (PCI-IIRO-8) or 5 millisecond (PCI-IIRO-16) time constant. (Without filtering, the response is 20 microseconds.) The filter must be selected for AC inputs in order to eliminate response to zero crossings. The filter is also valuable for use with slow DC input signals in a noisy environment.
