The DIU is used in conjunction with Universal Serial Bus (USB) surface panels to interface a depth encoder and analogue and digital inputs to the logging system.
The unit contains depth encoder interfaces for all commonly used encoder types together with 4 digital counter inputs, 2 analogue voltage inputs and two 4-20mA analogue current inputs. A low voltage DC output is also available for driving depth encoders or additional circuitry. Also included in the DIU is a USB hub with 3 ports accessible from the outside of the unit. When the unit is connected to a CNPS USB surface panel 2 of these USB ports are available for connecting any additional equipment, such as printers, mice etc, to the logging PC. The DIU features a universal mains input, and can be operated either as a free standing unit or mounted in a standard 19″ rack using the rack mounting kit supplied with the unit.
