104-IIRO-16
Isolated Digital Input and Relay Output Card

Features
  • 16 optically-isolated, non-polarized CMOS compatible digital inputs accept ±31VDC or AC rms
  • IRQ on input change of state (COS) eliminates the need for constant polling
  • Slow/fast filter to accommodate AC voltages and noisy DC inputs
  • 16 long-life form C electro-mechanical relays switch up to 1A each
  • Designed, made, supported, and manufactured in the USA

Factory Options: (call for pricing and availability)

  • Economy version without COS feature
  • Input only and relay only versions
  • Expanded input voltage levels
  • RoHS Available. Please contact us for ordering information
The 104-IIRO-16 is a low-cost board that provides isolated input and output for PC/104 Bus computer applications. The board has sixteen optically-isolated digital inputs for AC or DC control signals and sixteen electro-mechanical relay outputs. The Change of State Detection capability of ACCES' Model 104-IIRO-16 sets this board apart from the competition. An Economy version can be ordered as Model 104-IIRO-16E which has no Change of State Detection or IRQs. Also available is Model 104-RO-16 which has 16 relay outputs only.

INPUTS

The isolated inputs can be driven by either AC or DC and are not polarity sensitive. Input signals are rectified by opto-coupler diodes. A 1.8KΩ, ½ Watt resistor in series provides current limiting. The input voltage range is 3V to 28V (rms). To extend the input voltage range, you may connect external resistors in series with the input.

Each input circuit is switch selectable for slow/fast filter that has a 4.7 millisecond time constant. The filter must be selected for AC inputs in order to eliminate response to AC noise. The filter is also valuable for use with slow DC input signals in a noisy environment. The filter may be switched out for DC inputs in order to obtain faster response. Filters are manually switched individually on or off.

INTERRUPTS

Interrupts are enabled/disabled by software. When the change-of-state detection circuit is enabled, the card asserts an interrupt whenever any of the sixteen isolated inputs change state. Once an interrupt has been generated and serviced, it is automatically cleared. This feature greatly frees up system resources by eliminating the need for constant polling to see when an input has changed state.

OUTPUTS

The electro-mechanical relay outputs are comprised of two groups of eight form C SPDT outputs.

CONNECTIONS

The relay outputs are accessed via a 50 pin header type connector, while the isolated inputs are accessed via a 34 pin type header connector.

UTILILTY SOFTWARE

104-IIRO-16 utility software provided on CD includes sample programs in a variety of languages for DOS / Windows XP -> 10, both 32 & 64 bit. A Windows graphical setup program is also provided, and a "C" language sample for Linux.

Information about our Free Software packages:

ACCES is proud to provide a full suite of software support with every Data Acquisition product. We are committed to supporting the most popular operating systems and platforms for our customers. Currently we are actively supporting Windows XP through Windows 10, including "Server 2008," "Embedded," and "Compact" flavors in both 32-bit and 64-bit for all plug-and-play products including PCI, PCI Express, USB, and more. Many products continue to ship with support for additional operating systems such as DOS, Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, and 2000.

Samples

Among the software we deliver with our products are sample programs in a wide variety of programming languages. These samples are used to demonstrate the software interfaces to our products — and many can be used as-is in your production environments, or to test functionality of the devices out-of-the-box. We're currently actively supporting sample programs in Visual C# and Delphi with many devices including samples in Visual Basic and Visual C/C++, as well as Borland C/C++ 3.1 for DOS. Additionally we provide National Instruments LabVIEW compatible DLLs and demonstration VIs for many of our devices.

Drivers

Drivers for various operating systems are also provided, including active support for Windows XP -> 10 — all in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors, and including consumer, server, and embedded varieties — as well as the Linux kernels 2.6 and newer and recent macOS versions. Many products continue to ship with driver support for Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, and Windows 2000, but support for these operating systems is considered deprecated.

Setup Programs and Utilites

Our Data Acquisition devices also include a graphical setup utility that walks you through the process of configuring any option jumpers or switches on the device, as well as explaining a little about the various connectors present.

Many devices also include utility programs - little tools to make your use of the device easier, such as WinRISC, a "Really Incredibly Simple Communications" terminal program that lets you get started instantly with serial devices.

"Register Level" Documentation

Besides all this software in all these languages and operating systems ACCES has a policy of open and transparent development: none of our lowest-level "register" interfaces are hidden from you — we document every register in every bus card, every command in every serial board, and every usb control transfer in every USB Data Acquisition board. These lowest-level interfaces allow you to develop for our products in ANY operating system or language, regardless of our actively supporting it or having a driver for it. We have customers actively developing in ADA, Android, Python, Java, MATLAB, Solaris, and more, just by referring to our complete low-level interface documentation! And we provide the full source code to all of our drivers, regardless of operating system, to give you an even bigger head start in your own development tasks.

No Fees or Royalties

All of this software is provided at no additional charge, and is licensed under any of a variety of flexible — and royalty free — options. Check out our software license explanation if you'd like more information.

non-plug-and-play driver install guide for Windows

Please refer to the Non-PnP Install Guide for instructions to get your PC/104 and ISA bus devices installed in modern Windows.

Custom Software

ACCES also offers Custom Software Services for our products. Our prices are unbelievably low, often as inexpensive as free! If you need something tweaked to support your needs, or an entire enterprise application developed from scratch, it is definitely worth your time to inquire with us, first.
