PC/104 I/O module

24 November 2010 Computer/Embedded Technology

Diamond Systems unveiled its latest PC/104 I/O module, the Opal-MM-1616. The board features 16 opto-isolated inputs and 16 relay outputs, supported by Diamond’s Universal Driver software library. The OPMM-1616-XT is useful for industrial automation, transportation, energy, instrumentation, aerospace, military, and medical markets and applications.

Opal-MM-1616-XT’s 16 unidirectional opto-isolated inputs can accept DC voltages up to 30 V. Inputs feature channel-to-channel and input-to-output isolation of 500 V d.c. or a.c. The inputs also feature a programmable edge detection circuit (change of state detection circuit) that can generate interrupts on any change of any input. The module also provides 16 Form C SPDT relay outputs rated at 30 V d.c. at 2 A capacity, or 125 V a.c. at 0,1 A. Each relay has two sets of normally open, common and normally closed contacts wired in parallel for greater reliability and lifetime.

Extended temperature operation of -40°C to +85°C is tested and guaranteed. Optional 0 Ω resistors may be installed instead of the address jumpers for additional ruggedness. Optional latching connectors may be installed for both inputs and outputs to further improve reliability. Diamond’s Universal Driver software provides a high-level programming library for all of Diamond’s data acquisition products. All data acquisition features are supported with easy-to-use function calls. Universal Driver works with Windows XP, CE, Linux, QNX and DOS. Application examples are included for each function and OS to provide a quick starting point for development.
