The PCI card with 32 digital outputs APCI-2032-5 has 32 digital outputs and 5 V. It is especially suited for industrial I/O control, signal switching, as interface to electromechanical relays, for automated test devices, for ON/OFF monitoring of motors, lights etc. and as interface to machines in the harsh industrial environment.
Features
32 digital outputs, 5 V version, optically isolated
Output current per channel 500 mA
Voltage range: 10 V to 36 V
Diagnostic report, through status register at shortcircuits, overtemperature, voltage drop or watchdog
Programmable watchdog for resetting the outputs to “0“, function release through software
Interrupt triggered through error
At Power-On, the outputs are reset to “0”
Safety features
Optical isolation 1000 V
