USB I/O module features 16 optically isolated inputs

摘要

Acces I/O Products Inc. (San Diego) has introduced the latest addition to its line of USB/104 I/O modules: the model USB-IDIO-16. The unit features 16 individually optically isolated inputs and 16 fully protected solid-state FET outputs capable of switching up to 2 amperes each. The USB-IDIO-16 is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports and offers hot-plug functionality for quick connect/disconnect. The circuit isolation makes the module ideal for use in control and instrumentation applications where high-voltage protection is required, Acces said. Individual channel-to-channel isolation allows every channel to be physically and electrically separated from the others.
