An USB interface can also be used to connect GPI or GPO on the computer
USBOPTO8
USB Opto Module with 8 opto inputs
8 Isolated inputs ( 5V...30V )
All inputs signal states shown by 8 LED´s
Simple assembly, as a stand equipment in the laboratory area or as a mobile equipment with a notebook
Up to 4 x modules in one PC System supported
Power supply over USB
The USBOPTO8 Opto Board has 8 inputs. The eight inputs are protected by optocouplers. This ensures protection for your personal computer in heavy electrically polluted environment. If you need a special input voltage range, tell us your requirements and we will change the resistor network to your desired voltage range. The default input voltage range is from 12V to 30 Volts.
You can use the module as freestanding device in the laboratory environment, as mobile equipment connected to a Notebook or it can be mounted to a top-hat rail i.e. for the use in a rack system.
The USBOPTO8 has a plugable connector to connect and disconnect the module easily from your external circuits without using a screw driver.
The state of the inputs are signaled through the onboard LED's. The configuration LED shows that the module has power and whether it is initialized by the driver. Up to 4 modules can be used in parallel. The module can be identified by a module address which is set by jumpers onboard.
