● VXI-11.3 Compatible. Works with the newest test systems and any computer. ● Provides a user-definable, 128-line parallel interface with bit, byte, pulse, string and binary data transfer capabilities. Fully configurable to the user's needs. ● Device configuration, user's IDN message and IP address stored in non-volatile Flash memory. User can easily set the power-on configuration. ● Two companion Relay Driver Boards for 5-48 volt relays. Boosts drive signals to control larger relays and solenoids. ● Configurable with a web browser, with a windows configuration program or with RPC calls. Easy network configuration from any computer. ● Includes ICS's interactive VXI-11 keyboard program. Easy control without having to write a program. ● Interchangeable with ICS's 4813 GPIB and 2313 Serial boards. Easy conversion path.
ICS Ethernet-to-Digital Interface Board 8013 provides a 128 line, user configurable, digital interface for controlling relays or other devices in a test system. The ICS Ethernet-to-Digital Interface Board 8013 connects to any TCP/IP 10/100 MHz network as an VXI-11.3/LXI compatible device for easy control from any computer or operating system. Includes an internal Web Server for changing the network settings from any web browser. Use ICS's VXI-11 Keyboard Program for instant control from a PC without writing a program. The ICS Ethernet-to-Digital Interface Board 8013's Digital interface and operation is interchangeable with ICS's 4813 GPIB and 2313 Serial-to-Digital Interface Cards.
All VXI-11.3 functions including device read, write, local, remote, clear, trigger, readstb, lock and unlock.

Signal Characteristics
The 8013's parallel I/O signals have the following electrical characteristics. All time delays listed here are maximums, all pulse widths are minimums.
Lines
128 Digital I/O, 2 Status and Reset Inputs
Input Logic Levels
High = > +2.0 V @ ±10 μA
Low = <0.8 V @ 250 μA
with 33 KΩ pullup to +5 VDC for sensing contacts.
Max. High = 5.5V
Input Timing
External data Inhibit line SETS within 1 μs of the active edge of the EDR Input singal and resets after data is loaded. Data loading time for 6 BCD/HEX characters is 0.15 ms (typ.) after the 8013 has been addressed as a Talker.
Output Logic Levels
High = >3 V with 3 mA source
High =>2 V with 24 mA source
Low = 0.0 to +0.55 Vdc, 48 mA sink
Output Timing
Data is transferred to the output 2 to 3 ms after receipt of a message depending upon data transfer mode and command.
