mPCIe-DIO-24A

The mPCIe-DIO-24A is a type F1 PCI Express Mini Card (mPCIe) and optional cable assembly (D-Sub 37-pin Male connector) designed to be easily panel-mounted in any application environment. It uses the high speed PCI Express bus to transfer digital data to and from the card. The digital I/O is compatible with 8255 PPI chips making it easy to program. This also allows for simple and trouble-free migration from other ACCES PCI and PCI Express digital I/O cards, but also provides for advanced features enabled by the onboard FPGA logic.

The card provides three 8-bit I/O ports designated A, B and C. Port C can be further divided into two 4-bit nybbles. Each port can be programmed as inputs or outputs. Change of State (COS) detection and interrupt capabilities are designed to relieve software from polling routines that can consume valuable processing time. Each port can be programmed for detecting state changes on their lines, in which any changes of the enabled port’s bits (low-to-high or high-to-low) will generate an IRQ. An ISR (interrupt service routine) then determines which bit changed state and clears the interrupt.

A special feature now available on ACCES’ PCI Express (PCIe) and PCI Express Mini Card (mPCIe) Digital I/O product lines is Digital∫Features (read as “Digital Integration Features”). All these cards share features such as memory mapped registers for low-latency operation. Output channels support pulse/train / PWM / frequency / and quadrature generation. Inputs channels support flexible measurement of pulse duration, frequency, and event counting, with optional debouncing, IRQ generation, and more.

The mPCIe-DIO-24A is excellent for use in applications sensing inputs such as switch closures, TTL, LVTTL, CMOS logic and controlling external relays, driving indicator lights, and more. The mPCIe-DIO-24A can be used in the following: Process Monitoring, Manufacturing / Production Test, Machine Control, Monitoring and Control, Security Systems, Energy Management, Industrial Automation, Factory Automation, Laboratory Automation & Embedded OEM.
