PISO-P8SSR8AC/PISO-P8SSR8DCIsolated 8 Digital Input and 8 Relay Output Board •PCI Bus •8 SSR output channels •8 optically isolated digital input channels •3750 Vrms photo-isolation protection •Selectable DC signal input filter •AC signal input with filter •Bounceless and silent relay operation •Decreased electrical noise during relay switching •Supports Plug & Play to obtain I/O resources •No more manually setting of I/O address and IRQ PISO-P8SSR8AC/P8SSR8DC cards provide 8 optically isolated DI channels and 8 solid-state relay output channels. The DI channels provide 3750 Vrms isolation protection, allowing 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 it is 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 by one signal. Solid-state relays (SSR) control power circuits using a semiconductor device instead of moving parts to perform switching. The advantages of SSR include long-term reliability, no contact bounce, no sparking, silent operation, decreased electrical noise when switching, and faster switching than electromechanical relays.

The PISO-P8SSR8AC/P8SSR8DC 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. The cards can be installed in a 5 V PCI slot and support true "Plug & Play", with a single DB-37 connector provided for easy wiring.

The PISO-P8SSR8AC/PISO-P8SSR8DC supports various OS version, such as Linux, DOS, Windows 98/NT/2000 and 32/64-bit Windows 7/Vista/XP.
