The PCI-Express 16 digital I/O card APCIe-1516 has 16 digital inputs/outputs, 24 V. It is especially suited for industrial I/O control, for example for signal switching or as interface to machines in the harsh industrial environment.
Description
Features
Inputs:
8 optically isolated inputs, 24 V
Reverse voltage protection
All inputs are filtered
Outputs:
8 optically isolated outputs, 11 to 36 V
