Optically isolating the digital inputs from each other, and from the computer, assures smooth, error-free data transmission in noisy, real-world industrial environments. These boards are especially useful in applications where high common-mode external voltages are present. Isolation guards’ electronics from transient voltage spikes and offers greater common-mode noise rejection from electronically noisy surroundings containing machinery and inductive loads. In addition to protecting industrial applications from accidental contact with high external voltages, the isolation also eliminates troublesome ground loops.
The USB-IDIO-16L Series is designed for use in rugged industrial environments but is small enough to fit nicely onto any desk or testing station. The PCB boards are PC/104 sized (3.550 by 3.775 inches) and ship inside steel powder-coated enclosures with anti-skid bottoms. A DIN rail mounting option is available.
The USB-IDIO-16L Series is supported by most USB enabled operating systems and includes a free Linux, Mac OS X and Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 compatible software package. This package contains sample programs and source code in Visual Basic, Delphi, C++ Builder, and Visual C++ for Windows. Third-party support includes a Windows standard DLL interface usable from most popular application programs, and includes example LabVIEW VIs. Embedded OS support includes Windows XPe.
