March 2004 PLCs, DCSs & Controllers Information Security News & Events

The PC104PLUS-30I multifunction I/O board features 16 analog inputs, four analog outputs, three counter/timers and 24 digital input/outputs. Overall analog input sampling speed is 100 kHz with 14 bit resolution and ±2,5, ±5, ±10 V input voltage ranges. The board is compatible with Eagle's PCI-730 which means users can develop on a desktop using the PCI board and change over to PC104-PLUS for the embedded system. The driver for both boards is identical and connector pin-outs are the same. Each board is supplied with an extensive Windows Software Developer's Kit with support for Windows 98/2000 and XP. There is full driver support for Linux, with analog, digital and counter/timer commands supported.

For industrial and military COTS applications, the PC104PLUS-30I will operate reliably from -30 to +85°C. This makes the product suitable for integration into a variety of rugged applications including mining, avionics, scientific and heavy industrial. Each board is temperature cycled for 24 hours and comes supplied with a temperature test certificate.
