ADLINK PCI-7260 is the world's first PCI-bus, high-power relay output card for industrial automation and machine control. The design of
ADLINK PCI-7260 conforms to EN61010-1 safety standards. All eight channels are capable to switch 5 A current at 250 VAC or 5 A current at 30 VDC. Its pluggable front-panel connector gives consideration to both carrying high current and easy wiring.
ADLINK PCI-7260 also provides eight isolated digital input channels with debouncer capability. Users may monitor the digital inputs by handling the hardware interrupt generated when DI status changes or DI CH0/CH1 transitions from low to high.
ADLINK PCI-7260 also provides advanced features to make it feasible for industrial applications. The emergency shutdown input on the front panel lets users get back to a safety state set by a DIP switch regardless the system condition. A DIP switch sets the initial output status upon powering on, while a built-in watchdog timer guarantees that all the relays return to the safety state when the computer halts.
