PI-IO48A : The digital I/O card

    No card is an island. We all know this, but if you buy a digital I/O card today, chances are you will want to add more functions tomorrow. However, choose the wrong I/O card today, and you may outgrow it tomorrow.

    Enter the PI-IO48 -- the one digital I/O card designed for expansion. The PI-IO48 is so versatile, it can handle just about any control application; from controlling a single peripheral to orchestrating a complex multi-node operation.

    Only the PI-IO48 has XCI (external control interface) and XDI (external data interface) buses. These provide seamless connectivity with a host of expansion modules; from an 8-channel photo-coupled input to an 8-channel relay output, or from an A/D converter to a D/A converter.

    That's why the PI-IO48 is more than a digital I/O card. It is, in fact, an ideal working base for any I/O application. All the while, it saves you valuable capital, because you can add on only the functions you need, and nothing more.

    Whatever application you have in mind for your digital I/O card, you will implement it faster and more reliably with the PI-IO48, because it works the way you work. In fact, it works so smoothly that you may think it was custom-made just for your specific application!

PA-CP12 : The low cost solution

    The PA-CP12 is a low cost 12 bit 5KHz A/D, 50KHz D/A card with 16 digital I/O channels. This card is designed for average data acquisition and control purposes.

PA-ST12(-H) : The multi-function solution

    The PA-ST12 is a 12 bit high speed (50KHZ or 100KHz) A/D, 100KHz D/A and 32 digital I/O card. This card is designed for specialized applications that require greater speed and accuracy.

PA-MA12(-H) : The DMA multi-function solution

    The PA-MA12(-H) uses Direct Memory Access as opposed to interrupts to do background conversions. It provides fast (50KHz/100KHz) A/D as well as 1 12 bit D/A channel and 24 digital I/O's. This card is the solution for the user who needs fast, reliable A/D that is not dependent on computer speed.

PA-AD12(-H) : The A/D solution

    The PA-AD12(-H) is a 12 bit high speed (50KHz or 100KHz) A/D card designed for users who don't need the D/A and digital I/O functions. The user does not pay for what is not needed.

PA-MD12 : The DMA D/A solution

    The PA-MD12 is a 12 bit D/A card which uses DMA. This ensures fast, reliable background conversions which is not dependent on computer speed.

PA-MD16 : The DMA D/A solution

    The PA-MD16 is a 16 bit D/A card which uses DMA. This ensures fast, reliable background conversions which is not dependent on computer speed.

PA-DA12 : The D/A solution

    The PA-DA12 is a 12 bit Voltage and Current output D/A card designed for users that don't need the A/D and digital I/O functions. The user does not pay for what is not needed.

PA-DA16 : The D/A solution

    The PA-DA16 is a 16 bit Voltage and Current output D/A card designed for users that don't need the A/D and digital I/O functions. The user does not pay for what is not needed.

XC-IO96 : 96 Line Digital I/O Expansion Board For XCI Bus (XU-i088/PI-IO48)

    XC-IO96 board features two 82c255 I/O chips. This extends the I/O capability an additional 96 programmable digital I/O lines. Up to seven XC-IO96 can be cabled to one XCI mother card (i.e. one PI-IO48A programmable digital I/O card). This enables a user to have up to 720 programmable digital I/Os from one PC expansion slot.

XC-DA12 : 8 Channel 12 Bit 25us A/D Expansion Board For XCI Bus (XU-i088/PI-IO48)

    The XC-AD12(-H) is an XCI (Expansion Control Interface) card that performs the function of a 12 bit, 8 channels, 40 KHz or 80KHz Analog to Digital converter. Thus, a user could have up to seven A/D daughter cards hooked to the PI-IO48A and have 48 digital I/Os and 56 A/D channels.

XC-DA12 : 2 Channel 12 Bit D/A 12us Expansion Board For XCI Bus (XU-i088/PI-IO48)

    The XC-DA12 is an XCI (Expansion Control Interface) card that performs the function of a 12 or 16 bit, 2 channels Digital to Analog converter. Thus a user could have up to seven D/A daughter cards hooked to the PI-IO48A and have 48 digital I/O lines and 14 D/A channels.

ST-DM37 : Screw terminal board for A/D D/A cards

    The ST-DM37 is a screw terminal board for PA-series Data Acquisition Card.

ST-XD02 : Screw terminal board for XDI Digital I/O

    The ST-XD02 is a screw terminal board with 2 XDI interface connectors and a prototype area for user applications like signal conditioning or pullup/pulldown resistors.
