The PCIOPTO16IO opto board has 16 inputs and 16 outputs and is designed for industrial purposes where 16 galvanically isolated optocoupler I/O channels are needed. All inputs and outputs are accessable through the 68 pin HD-D-Sub female connector. To easily connect your external circuits we could offer you our KAB-DSUB-68 HD-D-Sub cable and our PAR-KL-68 terminal screw block.

Optocouplers protecting the inputs and outputs up to 500 Volts
All inputs and outputs are protected by optocouplers. This ensures protection for your controlling system in heavy electrically polluted environment. These optocouplers are designed as AC-optocouplers which means that the polarity of the input signal can be chosen freely. Also all the inputs have no common ground, so that each of the inputs signals may have a different ground-signal. If you want to have an input range from 5V to 12V you may tell us with your order. The default input range is 12V to 30V.

Input edge detection
The 16 optocoupler inputs are equiped with flipflops which detect quick input state changes or remove switch bounce. This allows the detection of fast input changes. It is also possible to generate an interrupt if an input changes.

Timeout control
The board has a configurable onboard timeout control which detects all access to the PCIOPTO16IO hardware. If the software stops working or the system fails and the board does not get new orders by the controlling machine the outputs are switched off. You may configure the timeout time from 1ms to 16 hours in various steps. This feature can also be switched off by a software command.

Software library

VB PCIOPTO16IO example
The PCIOPTO16IO example shows the programming with Visual Basic

You need no knowledge in the driver development. We implemented an command set which is the same for all operating systems. An application that controls the PCIOPTO16IO, and which is generated for Windows 98 can be used directly on a Windows XP PC.

With the QLIB it is easy to create applications with Visual-Studio .NET, Visual-Basic, Borland Delphi or other modern compilers. Even an interface to MS Excel, MS Access or Sun Java is available. We included the VB PCIOPTO16IO Sample which shows how to program and test the card and it also includes the source code. This is a good starting point for your own applications.

The QLIB is a API which provides it's functions through a Windows DLL, so it is possible to use QLIB with all applications that allow access to external DLL Functions.

The PCIOPTO16IO is also available as USB module USBOPTO16IO .

QCLI (QUANCOM Command Line Interface) The QUANCOM Command Line Iterface (QCLI) was made for all those which don´t have programming experience or knowledge. It is a simple command line tool which makes it able to control our I/O and Watchdog boards with some very simple strings. Note that this procedure is not as fast as a programm written in a higher programmiung language, for example C. [descargar 56KB]
