The description sections and FAQ are machine-assisted and can contain errors; where they disagree with the record, the record is correct, and where description sections disagree with each other, Details wins._ ## Summary - Manufacturer: Interface - Model: PCI-2725M - Condition: Used and in Excellent Condition - Price: $515.00 USD - Availability: In stock, 1 available - Warranty: 1-Year Warranty with 30-Day Return Guarantee - ITAR restricted: No - Shipping weight: 3.5 lb, estimated - Shipping dimensions: 12X9X6 in, estimated ## Categories - Test Equipment > Electrical Test > Digital I/O (primary) - Military and Embedded Equipment > Embedded & Industrial > PCI ## Overview This peripheral provides 16 optically isolated digital input channels and 16 optically isolated digital output channels, enabling robust binary state acquisition and control. It interfaces with a host system via a PCI bus for high-speed data transfer. External connectivity to industrial sensors and actuators is achieved through discrete wiring, ensuring ground loop isolation and noise immunity in applications such as factory automation, process control, and test & measurement. ## Function Provides isolated digital input and output interfacing for industrial automation, enabling 16 channels of input monitoring and 16 channels of output control. Designed for PCI bus platforms, it interfaces with control systems via optically isolated circuitry to prevent electrical noise and ground loop interference. Commonly used for real-time status monitoring and control signal switching in manufacturing, process control, and embedded system applications. Connects to sensors, switches, actuators, and relay devices through screw terminal or header connectors for reliable signal acquisition and command execution. ## Platform Designed for PCI bus architecture computers requiring galvanic isolation for industrial digital signal conditioning. Operates in standard desktop PCs, industrial computers, and embedded systems with available PCI expansion slots. Connects to external digital devices through screw terminals or connector blocks for sensor inputs and actuator outputs. Interfaces with programmable logic controllers, motion controllers, data acquisition systems, and SCADA networks. Compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems through provided device drivers and software development kits for custom application integration. ## Application Isolated 16-channel digital input and 16-channel digital output module designed for PCI-based computer systems, providing optical isolation on inputs and outputs to ensure signal integrity and operator safety. Inputs accept AC or DC control signals (2.5–50 VDC or 2–36 VRMS) with diode-bridge rectification and software-selectable filtering to handle noisy or slow input signals. Outputs are isolated FET or transistor type capable of driving loads at +24 Vdc, supporting industrial control, automation, and monitoring applications. Connects via PCI interface card slot, enabling reliable, noise-immune digital signal acquisition and control in embedded systems or data acquisition platforms. ## Accessories Requires a compatible PCI slot in a host computer; typically uses a 68-pin high-density D-sub connector for isolated digital input/output channels; may require +24 Vdc power supply for isolated inputs/outputs; includes optical isolation on all channels; no separate backplane or chassis needed but standard PCI bus interface is mandatory. Connectors support 16 isolated digital input and 16 isolated digital output channels, each with photo-isolation. Interfaces include sink/source type digital inputs and open-collector transistor outputs rated for +24 Vdc operation. Associated cables and terminal blocks are recommended for field wiring. ## Interface 37-pin D-sub male connector for digital I/O, 16 optically isolated digital inputs (sink/source), 16 solid-state relay outputs (SSR), 2000 Vrms isolation, PCI bus interface, 32-bit, 33 MHz bus speed, 5V DC power from PCI slot, on-board 32-bit counter, programmable interrupt sources, supports input filtering, FIFO buffer for data storage. ## Images - - - -
