Introduction
The DIO-16.LPCI provides 8 optically isolated inputs and 8 reed relay outputs. The
inputs protect the PC and other sensitive equipment from spikes and ground loop
current that can be generated in industrial environments, while the outputs provide
high quality, long life, low current (10 Watt maximum), dry contact switch closures.
Reed relays are well suited for low current applications. The relays are normally
open, and will close when energized.
The board meets the requirements for the MD1 "Low Profile" specification as
defined by the PCISIG in the PCI 2.2 Specifications Low Profile Addendum. The
DIO-16.LPCI ships with a Low Profile PCI bracket that will only work in a Low
Profile PCI slot. If you need a standard size PCI bracket, please order part number
8012S. The DIO-16.LPCI also features Universal Bus (3.3 and 5.0V) operation.
The DIO-16.LPCI is designed to be used with a variety of Operating Systems
including Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP, Linux and DOS. The SeaI/O API
(Application Programmer Interface) included on CD with the DIO-16.LPCI provides
a variety of useful high-level function calls implemented as a Windows dynamic
link library (DLL) and as a Linux kernel module and library. In addition to the API,
SeaI/O includes sample code and utilities to simplify software development.
