PCI Express data acquisition card APCIe-1516

digitalcontrol

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 Output current per channel 500 mA Total current: 1.5 A typ. (fused through PTC resistor) Watchdog for resetting the outputs to”0“ At Power-On, reset of the outputs to “0” Current limit: ~ 1.5 A per 8 channels (through PTC) Short-circuit current per output ~1.5 A typ. Self-resetting fuse (electronic fuse) Overtemperature and overvoltage protection 24 V power outputs with protection diodes and filters External 24 V voltage supply screened and filtered Shutdown logic, when the external supply voltage drops below 7 V Safety features Optical isolation 1000 V Creeping distance IEC 61010-1 Separate ground line for inputs and outputs Protection against fast transients (burst), overvoltage, electrostatic discharge and high-frequency EMI Watchdog for the outputs Applications Industrial I/O control PLC coupling Signal switching Interface to electromechanical relays Software A CD-ROM with the following software and programming samples is supplied with the board.
