PCI Digital I/O Board from UEI Has 64 or 128 Digital I/O lines

United Electronic Industries (Watertown, MA) announces the new PowerDAQ Digital IO board (PD-DIO), which no longer requires that you design external circuitry for start-up states, work against problems associated with the 8255 and relays, or have a separate mechanism for generating interrupts. Additionally, it features ESD protected inputs and automatic short detection on power-up. The PD-DIO has it all and more and is the lowest cost of ownership board on the market.

The PowerDAQ digital input/output boards are configured with 64 or 128 lines. The PD-DIO uses 16-bit line drivers (not 8255 devices), which allow you to configure the start up states in groups of 16-bit ports. The on-board DSP/PCI interface allows you to use three 24-bit counter timers, four high-speed IRQ lines and two high-speed ESSI ports. Our high speed streaming to disk software option will allow streaming of digital data to disk at 2 MB/s. A complete range of DIO accessories is available.

The PD-DIO-64 is $395 and the PD-DIO-128 is $695.
