Measurement Computing has announced the release of its new Measurement Advantage brand Ethernet-based high-voltage, high-current, digital I/O module.

Measurement Computing has announced the release of its new Measurement Advantage brand Ethernet-based high-voltage, high-current, digital I/O module.

The E-PDISO16 offers the functionality and performance of a PCI-based solution: 16 isolated digital inputs, 500 volts DC isolation, 16 Form C relays with 6 amps at 240 volts AC/28 volts DC contact ratings.

As opposed to a PCI-based system, however, the E-PDISO16 offers the advantage that as an Ethernet-based device, it can be distributed anywhere there's a network connection and power; simply connect the device to the network at the point of measurement, and configure, monitor, and control the device from anywhere else on the network.

The device will be priced at $499 (single piece price).

Shipments will begin in late May.

In addition to the performance features described above, the E-PDISO16 offers: - Integrated screw terminals for easy field wiring - A robust metal enclosure with a latching lid to protect signal wiring - A compact form (17.2" x 5.1" x 1.75") that makes it ideal for laboratory, test, and industrial monitoring and control applications - A DIN rail mount that's fully integral to the enclosure, rather than an add-on kit - A power supply (included in the price) The new E-PDISO16 brings the power of distributed DAQ to MCC's growing family of Measurement Advantage high-voltage digital I/O products.

On the factory floor, in remote locations, or in any application in which a PC or laptop is not feasible or ideal, the E-PDISO16 offers the perfect solution for monitoring and controlling high voltages.

As a networked, stand-alone device, the E-PDISO16 compliments the Measurement Advantage USB-based high-voltage DIO devices'the USB-PDISO8, the USB-ERB (electromechanical relay) series, and the USB-SSR (solid-state relay) series, which combine robust, high-voltage DIO performance with the ease-of-use and flexibility of USB.

All Measurement Advantage products ship with the following free software: - TracerDAQ, Measurement Computing's powerful stripchart recorder, oscilloscope, and data logger application.

- SoftWIRE, the popular graphical programming interface for Visual Studio.NET.

- Universal Library, the powerful language interface that allows users to write programs in all of the popular programming languages using easy-to-understand, high-level command syntax.

- UL for LabVIEW, the package of drivers, VIs, and program examples for using MCC hardware in LabVIEW.

- InstaCal, an all-in-one installation, calibration, and test application that simplifies the important initial steps involved in turning a user's PC into a measurement system.
