High-voltage isolated digital USB I/O at a competitive price
Adlink Technology, Inc., is announcing its new USB-7230 and USB-7250 isolated USB digital I/O modules, enriching its DAQ/DIO product line with USB form factor. Suitable for I/O expansion or portable applications, both models present an alternative evolution base to Adlink's PCI/LPCIe-7230/7250. With the enhanced integration of a high-speed frequency/event counter, digital filter and change of state (COS) detection in a single USB module, flexible and reliable high-voltage control and monitoring applications are fully supported with unbeatable protection.
The USB-7230 provides 32-CH isolated digital I/O and 2-CH frequency/event counters, and the USB-7250 8-CH solid-state relay output (4 form C and 4 form A), 8-CH isolated DI, and 2-CH frequency/event counters. Featuring high-voltage on/off control and monitoring, and isolation voltage support up to 2500 VRMS, integrated frequency/event counting and change of state (COS) detection by the built-in complex programmable logic device (CPLD) occupy no CPU resources while avoiding data loss from changes in signal status. As well, a programmable digital filter removes unexpected glitches from input channels to monitor I/O status more efficiently.
All Adlink's USB DAQ modules feature USB power, removable screw-down terminals for simplified connection, and a multi-functional stand for fast and easy desktop, rail, or wall mounting. Additionally, a lockable USB cable secures connectivity. The USB DAQ modules also make device ID setting straightforward, with a rotary control conveniently identifying the active module in multiple-connection configurations.
Catherine Wu, the senior product director of Adlink's Measurement and Automation Product Segment, says: "With our experience in measurement and automation, we've not only developed an integral product line, but also solutions that are flexible, reliable and easily integrated."
Adlink's included U-Test application is a free ready-to-use testing program delivering easy out-of-the-box configuration and generation of simple functions to get the platform up and running, with no programming required for full data monitoring, logging and FFT analysis. All Adlink's USB digital I/O devices are compatible with LabVIEWTM, MATLAB, Microsoft Visual Studio, and Visual Studio.NET.
