The PEX-P32C32/P32A32 series provides 32 optically-isolated Digital Input channels and 32 optically-isolated Digital Output channels, arranged into four isolated banks. Each input channel uses a photocoupler input that allows either an internal isolated power supply or an external power supply to be connected, and can be selected via a jumper.
Each Digital Output channel includes either a Darlington (PEX-P32C32) or a PNP (PEX-P32A32) transistor and an integrated suppression diode for the inductive load. The input port may use either an external power source or can be powered from the Host PC via a DC/DC converter. The output port should use an external power source. The board helps eliminate ground loop problems and isolates the host computer from potentially damaging voltage spikes.
The PEX-P32C32/P32A32 series also includes an onboard Card ID switch that enables the board to be easily recognized via software if two or more cards are installed in the same computer. The PEX-P32C32/P32A32 series is designed as an easy replacement for the PISO-P32C32U/P32A32U series without requiring any modification to either the software or the driver.
