Product Overview
USB 4, 8 or 16 Isolated Inputs and 4, 8, or 16 Relay Output Digital I/O Modules
Features Include:
The USB-IIRO-16 is an ideal portable solution for adding easy-to-install isolated input and relay output digital I/O capabilities to any computer with a USB port. The USB-IIRO-16 is a USB 2.0 high-speed device, and is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. The unit is plug-and-play allowing quick connect or disconnect whenever you need additional I/O on your USB port.
Featuring 4/8/16 Form C (SPDT) electromechanical relays and 4/8/16 optically isolated digital inputs, the unit is the smallest of its kind for digital monitoring and control using USB. The isolated, non-polarized inputs may be driven by either DC sources of 3-31 V (or higher by special order) or AC sources at frequencies of 40 Hz to 10KHZ. Optically isolating the digital inputs from each other, and from the computer, assures smooth, error-free data transmission in noisy, real-world environments. The input channels are available via a 34-pin IDC type vertical header. The relay outputs are de-energized at power-up to prevent an unintended control output signal. Data to the relays is latched. The relay contacts are available via a 50-pin IDC type vertical header.
The USB-IIRO-16 contains an internal, removable screw termination board (USB-STB-84) with onboard removable screw terminals to simplify wiring connections. The USB-STB-84 mounts directly into the vertical IDC connectors of the USB-IIRO-16 PCB. The USB-IIRO-16, like the PC/104 and PCI versions, is excellent in applications where on-board relays are required and inputs must be isolated such as in test equipment, instrumentation, and process control.
The USB-IIRO-16 is designed to be used in rugged industrial environments but is small enough to fit nicely onto any desk or testing station. The board is PC/104 sized (3.550 by 3.775 inches) and ships inside a steel powder-coated enclosure with an anti-skid bottom.
