The four new devices are PCI Express-compliant interface board for measurement control and communication. These devices can expand input/output and communication function into computers contain PCl Express slot (up to 16 lanes).

DIO-6464T-PE contains 64 bit TTL level input that are compatible with 5VDC-TTL level input circuit and 64 bit open collector output. This product has a digital filter to prevent input signals from carrying noise or a chattering. DIO-6464T-PE has the most input/output channels of CONTEC I/O products including the current devices for ISA bus or PCI bus.

DIO-6464L-PE includes 64 bit opto-isolated input that is compatible with 12 to 24 VDC circuit and 64 bit opto-isolated open collector output. This product has also a digital filter for input, surge voltage and over current protection functions for output. DI-128L-PE contains 128 bit opto-isolated input and DO-128L-PE has 128 bit opto-isolated open collector output.

The four new boards are designed to enhance the compatibility with the current PCl boards, PIO-64/64L(PCI)H, PI-128L(PCI)H, and PO-128L(PCI)H. They also share the same pin assignment and connectors allowing the user to use existing cabling or accessories. The same APl (Application Program Interface) as that of PCI board is available for PCl Express board, thus users can easily set up the transition to the new system without changing programs.

CONTEC DIO-6464T-PE, DIO-6464L-PE, DI-128L-PE and DO-128L-PE are lead-free (higher than JEITA Phase 2 level) and RoHS-compliant products.

CONTEC policy on PCl Express bus
As a leading PC-based measurement control and communication application manufacturer, CONTEC believes PCl Express is the next-generation bus standard. CONTEC will continue to provide the extensive line up of PCl Express products taking advantages of PCl Express features.
