CPI-DI-16L

Overview / Features

This product is Digital input Raspberry Pi card 16ch for even greater Raspberry Pi functionality. The 40-pin GPIO pin header connector of a Raspberry Pi computer can be used for adding functionality through stacked connections to HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) size expansion cards and the card adds industrial computer availability to the Raspberry Pi.

• Push-type terminal block for easy wiring
  • The CPI Series includes a push-type terminal block for convenient, simple connection and disconnection of wired HATs without the need for tools or crimping terminals.
• Stacked connection of up to 8 cards
  • CONTEC has expanded HAT specifications to include address ID configurability, making it possible to connect up to eight stacked cards. * Connection to HATs from other manufacturers is also possible. * Use a CONTEC RAS function expansion card (CPI-RAS) for stable power supply with stacked connections.
• API compatible with PC expansion cards and Python-compatible API
  • Take advantage of API compatibility with CONTEC PCI Express, PCI, USB, and Ethernet-type measurement control devices. Development assets can be reused across multiple platforms. Linux driver (API-TOOL for Linux) can be downloaded for free from the company’s website along with sample Python and GCC programs, allowing users to begin programming right away.
• Opto-coupler isolated digital input (current sink and current source outputs)
  • Equipped 16ch input with opto-coupler isolation (current sink and current source outputs). 8 channels share one common and each common support different external power supply. Supporting driver voltages of 12 to 24 VDC for I/O.
• Opto-coupler bus isolation
  • By opto-coupler, GPIO 40-pin connector of Raspberry Pi is isolated from the input and output interfaces to achieve excellent noise resistance.
• Adaptable to a temperature range between -20 to 60°C
  • The product is capable of operating in the temperature between -20 to 60°C. It can be installed in the various environments.
