High channel count with
opto-isolated digital input
and digital output
The U2600A Series has high channel
count with up to 64-bit high-density
opto-isolated digital input and digital
output that increases its usability. With
just one DIO device, you are able to
drive more actuators and control more
sensors. Furthermore, opto-isolation
separates the electrical connection
between circuits for better PC system
protection. Thus, making the U2600A
Series more reliable with its opto-
isolated digital input and digital output.
High isolated transient
voltage protection
Isolation prevents any potential
harmful current that may be induced
by transient voltage spikes from
flowing through the digital IO lines to
the system. The robust 1250 Vpeak
transient isolation protection allows
the U2600A Series to have direct
connection to a wide range of industrial
sensors and actuators, making the
U2600A suitable for most industrial
applications.
High I/O voltage range
The U2600A Series has a high input/
output voltage range that is suitable for
demanding industrial applications such
as driving relays and actuators, which
require up to 24 V. The U2600A Series
has a wide input range of 10 V to 24 V
to sense the status of external sensors.
It also has an external supply voltage
that is ranging from 5 V to 35 V, which
enables the U2600A Series to drive a
wide range of actuators.
Interrupt function
The U2600A Series has an interrupt function that automatically triggers your
system when a digital change of state occurs. Unlike polling, this function
minimizes the overheads of your PC system especially when the U2600A Series is
used in multitasking applications.
Virtual Port grouping function
The Virtual Port grouping function allows users to randomly select any eight input
or output bits and group them into one channel as a virtual DIO port.
The following describes the key advantages of using the Virtual Port grouping
function:
– You can control multiple bits simultaneously for the instantaneous control of
multiple machines, such as emergency stop control.
– You can make changes to your port assignments whenever required as the
Virtual Port is easily programmable.
– It eliminates the need for you to rewire your hardware devices to different bits for
different applications. This makes the U2600A Series suitable for research and
development applications, which require on-going testing that involves many
hardware setup changes.
