Buffered drive digital I/O for industrial control

The Seaport PIO 48 and 96 provide 48 or 96 channels of buffered drive digital I/O for industrial control, with simple connection to 1,2 or 4 industry standard relay racks via 50 pin ribbon cables

The Seaport PIO 48 and Seaport PIO 96 provide 48 or 96 channels of buffered drive digital I/O for industrial control applications.

Each device offers a variety of uses.

Onboard headers provide simple connection to 1,2 or 4 industry standard relay racks via 50 pin ribbon cables for PC based control and automation of equipment including sensors, switches, actuators, satellite antenna control systems, video and audio studio automation, security control systems, and other industrial automation systems.

An optional terminal block is available for field wire applications, where relay racks are not applicable.

Completely plug-and-play, installation is simple, allowing users to add digital I/O applications to any USB equipped PC.

10K pull up resistors are included, other values are available.

The 48 and 96 channels, consist of ports of I/O, each providing 8 user configurable inputs or outputs to suit the task at hand.

A control panel applet allows the user to select the status of each of the ports as inputs or outputs as needed.

The devices can be ordered with IDC or edge connector ribbon cables for direct connection to industry standard relay racks, further simplifying installation.

Optional cable lengths are available if needed.

Both devices ship with SeaI/O, a suite of Windows 98/ME/2000 drivers from Sealevel Software.

SeaI/O provides the user with a consistent and straightforward API (Application Programmer Interface), allowing the developer to concentrate on the details of the application as opposed to low-level driver development.

Popular development environments are supported for application development.

SeaI/O includes a utility for configuring the driver parameters under Windows 98/ME and Windows 2000, further simplifying installation.

Sealevel products can be used with 3rd party software packages including HMI / MMI, Recipe/ Batch Management, Test, and Instrumentation, including Wonderware, Test Point, iFIX, Labview and others.

Vbtest, a 32-bit Visual Basic sample with GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows control of individual and groups of relays, timed relay activation and input monitoring.

SeaI/O TST, a Windows 32-bit Console application is included to allow the user to exercise the inputs and relays.

Source code for SeaI/O TST is included to facilitate software development.

The Seaport PIO 48, product number 8203 is priced at $319.00.

The Seaport PIO 96, Product number 8205 is priced at $359.00.

Optional cables include: CA135 (50 pin to Edge connector) and CA167 (50 pin to IDC connector).

Both cables are 40 inches in length and are priced at $9.95 each.

A terminal block, Part# TB07, is available for providing connections to field wiring.

The TB07 provides a 50-pin header onboard for connection to TTL level Digital I/O cards.

Screw terminals are provided along with power and ground to support a variety of applications.

The TB07 is priced at $39.95 or $48.95 when ordered as KT107.

The KT107 kit includes the TB07, 6" snap track, (2) Din-railclips, and CA167 (50 pin IDC cable).

All products are available immediately from stock.
