PISO-P8R8/PISO-P8R8UPISO-P8R8:PCI Bus, 8 Isolated Digital Input and 8 Relay Output BoardPISO-P8R8U: Universal PCI, 8 Isolated Digital Input and 8 Relay Output Board •Support the +5 V PCI bus for PISO-P8R8 •Support the +3.3 V/+5 V PCI bus for PISO-P8R8U •Card ID function for PISO-P8R8U •8 relay output channels •8 optically isolated digital input channels •Selectable DC signal input filter •AC Signal input with filter •Onboard relay output status LED indicators •Supports Plug & Play to obtain I/O resources •No more manually settings of I/O address and IRQ The PISO-P8R8U card is the new generation product that ICP DAS provides to meet RoHS compliance requirement. The new PISO-P8R8U card is designed as a drop-in replacement for the PISO-P8R8, and users can replace the PISO-P8R8 by the PISO-P8R8U directly without software/driver modification.

The PISO-P8R8U universal PCI card supports 3.3 V/5 V PCI bus while the PISO-P8R8 supports 5 V PCI bus. These cards provide 8-channel optically isolated DI and an 8-channel electromechanical relay output board. These DI channels provide 3750 Vrms isolation protection that allows the input signals to be completely floated so as to prevent ground loops and isolate the host computer from damaging voltages. Relays are used where necessary to control a circuit using a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation between the control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled using one signal. The PISO-P8R8/P8R8U can be used in varous applications, such as controlling the ON/OFF state of external devices, driving external relays or small power switches, activating alarms, contact closure, sensing external voltages or switches, etc. These cards contain a single DB-37 connector for easy wiring.

The PISO-P8R8U also adds a Card ID switch on-board. Users can set Card ID and then recognize the board by the ID via software when using two or more PIO-P8R8U cards in one computer.

These cards support various OS versions, such as Linux, DOS, Windows 98/NT/2000 and 32/64-bit Windows 7/Vista/XP. DLL and Active X control together with various language sample programs based on Turbo C++, Borland C++, Microsoft C++, Visual C++, Borland Delphi, Borland C++ Builder, Visual Basic, C#.NET, Visual Basic.NET and LabVIEW are provided in order to help users quickly and easily develop their own applications. •Factory automation •Product test •Laboratory automation •DOS Lib and TC sample program (with source codes) •DLL and OCX SDK for Windows 95/98/NT/2K. •DLL and OCX SDK for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP/2003/Vista/7. •VB/VC/Delphi/BCB/VB.NET/C#.NET/VC.NET/MATLAB sample programs with source codes are included. •LabVIEW toolkit for Windows. •Driver for Linux.
