PIO-16/16L(PM) 1
PC Card-compliant Opto-Isolated Digital I/O
PIO-16/16L(PM)
PIO-16/16L(PM) is a PC Card Standard compliant product for
input/output of digital signals. Users can use the card in PC
card slots that support the PCMCIA2.1/JEIDA4.2 or later.
The PC can be used to input the on/off state of a switch and to
control a relay.
The PC card can input and output up to 16 channels.
With the included Driver library [API-PAC(W32)], users can
configure Windows application software for this PC card in your
favorite programming language supporting Win32 API functions,
such as Visual Basic or Visual C/C++.
- Individual external power supplies can be used for each common pin as it is shared by 16 signal points.
- The PC card slot side and the I/O interface are isolated from each other by an opto-coupler, offering good noise immunity.
- Users can use all of the input signals as interrupt inputs and select the interrupt trigger edge of the input signal.
- The PC card has a digital filter feature to prevent noise or chatter from causing erroneous inputs.
- Up to 35VDC, 100mA per signal, max. output.
- The output transistor has a surge absorber connected to protect the PC card from surge voltages.

Driver Software Package API-PAC(W32) (Included)
API-PAC(W32) is the library software that provides the commands for
CONTEC hardware products in the form of Windows standard Win32 API
functions (DLL). It makes it easy to create high-speed application
software taking advantage of the CONTEC hardware using various
programming languages that support Win32 API functions, such as
Visual Basic and Visual C++.
It can also be used by the installed diagnosis program to check hardware
operations.
CONTEC provides download services (at http://www.contec.com/apipac/)
tosupply the updated drivers and differential files.
For details, read Help on the bundled CD-ROM or visit the CONTEC Web
site.

PIO-16/16L(PM) can be connected the input signals to a device which can be current-driven, such as a switch or transistor output device.
The connection requires an external power supply to feed currents.
The PC card inputs the ON/OFF state of the current-driven device as a digital value.

The signal inputs are isolated by opto-couplers (ready to accept current sinking output signals). The PC card therefore requires an external power
supply to drive the inputs. The power requirement for each input pin is about 8 mA at 24 VDC (about 4 mA at 12 VDC).

The signal output section is an opto-coupler isolated, open-collector
output (current sink type). Driving the output section requires an
external power supply.
The rated output current per channel is 100 mA at maximum.
The output section can also be connected to a TTL level input as it uses a
low-saturated transistor for output. The residual voltage (low-level
voltage) between the collector and emitter with the output on is 0.5 V or
less at an output current within 50 mA or at most 1.0 V at an output
current within 100 mA. As for the output transistor, the serge absorber is
connected for protection from serge voltage.
CAUTION
When the PC is turned on, all outputs are reset to OFF.
