Optocoupler card isolates 16 digital signals

Offering electrical isolation and optimum protection for data acquisition and control systems, the 16 digital states in the 3 to 32V voltage range can be sampled and recorded. The 16 semiconductor switches of the OI16 consist of high-side drivers for voltages in the 5 to 32V range. The digital inputs and outputs of the application-specific hardware (sensor, machine, etc.) are connected through a 37-pole D-Sub female connector. A 37-pole D-Sub male serves for the connection to the DAQ and control system. Only a 37-pole D-Sub extension cable is needed to connect to the digital I/O interface PCI-PIO, PCI-Base II, PCIe-Base, or LAN-AD16fx.
