Adept Scientific has announced the release of the new universal serial bus (USB) based Switch and Sense 8 digital input/output (I/O) relay system from Measurement Computing Corporation (Middleboro, Massachusetts), formerly known as ComputerBoards.
The Switch and Sense 8 is a compact, rugged device that allows users to add digital I/O applications to any USB equipped personal computer, quickly and easily.
The Switch and Sense 8 expands the capabilities of desktop personal computers by providing eight isolated AC or DC inputs and eight electromechanical relays in a single USB compatible system.
The inputs monitor 24V AC or DC inputs while the output relays provide 6 Amp (Form C, SPDT) outputs at 50VAC or 28VDC.
The Switch and Sense 8 is completely plug-and-play.
Housed in a rugged steel case, it is simple to install, with no switches or jumpers on the board.
All addresses, interrupt channels etc.
are set by the computer's USB plug-and-play software.
Screw terminals with strain relief provide easy, secure field wiring to all inputs and outputs Software supplied with the unit provides all of the components necessary to configure, test and control the device.
The programming interface library provides a set of functions that can be called from Microsoft Visual Basic or Microsoft Visual C/C++.
In addition to the library files, there are several application examples that demonstrate how to use the interface library.
A software enabled input filter is available on all channels.
