Pickering Interfaces expands range of PXI modules

The 40-412 provides 32 channels of digital output lines that can serve as high or low side drivers.

Each channel is capable of sourcing 0.4A or sinking 0.5A at voltages up to 50V.

Each channel also has protection circuits that prevent over voltage, over current or thermal overload.

Software interlocks prevent the high side and low side drivers on a channel from being operated at the same time, but the module allows each channel to be independently selected for high or low side driving.

When high side driving is used, the source voltage is supplied by the user to multiple pins on the module's robust D Type connector.

The 40-412 provides 32 channels of independent digital inputs with a dual variable logic threshold that permits users to detect when an input is in a low state, an intermediate state or a high state from a single read operation.

The high input impedance ensures minimal loading on the digital inputs.

A single command allows the user to sequentially capture the status of all 32 input channels.

For applications requiring the read-back of an output driver state, users of the 40-412 can connect the digital input and digital outputs together in a cable assembly or connector block.

Pickering Interfaces provides a full range of connectivity options to support the 40-412.
