Opto-Isolated Digital I/O for PCI Express

16 ch type
DIO-1616H-PE
This product is a PCI Express bus-compliant interface board used to
provide a digital signal I/O function on a PC. The product can input and
output digital signals at high voltages (24 - 48VDC).

DIO-1616H-PE features 16 opto-coupler isolated inputs and 16 opto-

coupler isolated open-collector outputs. You can use 16 input signals as
interrupt inputs. Equipped with the digital filter function to prevent
wrong recognition of input signals is provided and output transistor
protection circuit (surge voltage protection and over current protection).

Windows/Linux driver is bundled with this product.

Possible to be used as a data recording device for LabVIEW, with

dedicated libraries.

* Specifications, color and design of the products are subject to change

without notice.

Features LabVIEW is supported by a plug-in of dedicated library.

Using the dedicated library makes it possible to make a LabVIEW
