Industry Pack Modules APC8621 PCI Bus Half-Length IP Carrier Card This board interfaces industry-standard Industrial I/O Pack (IP) modules to a PCI bus on a PC-based computer system. The half-length card is ideal for use in smaller PC chassis. The APC8621 offers high channel density and modular flexibility in a half-length PCI carrier card. Three IP module slots give you the freedom to mix a Environmental Specifications variety of I/O functions (A/D, D/A, digital in, digital out, Operating temperature: 0 to 70°C (APC8621) serial I/O, etc.) on a single board. Or, combine modules IP Module Compliance (ANSI/VITA 4) or -40 to 85°C (APC8621E model). Meets or exceeds all written IP specifications per ANSI/VITA 4- of the same type for dozens of channels on a single Storage temperature: -55 to 100°C (all models). 1995 for 8MHz operation, only. card. Either way, the APC8621 saves your precious card Relative humidity: 5-95% non-condensing Supports Type I and Type II ID space formats. slots and reduces your costs. Power: +5 Volts (±5%): 110mA, typical; 150mA, max. Electrical/mechanical interface: Supports three single-size ±12 Volts to each IP module. Select I/O modules from Acromag’s offering of more IP modules (A-C), or one double and one single-size IP module. 32-bit IP modules are not supported.
