BaseBoard ^® / PCI

The BaseBoard / PCI provides flexible, programmable digital input/output for the PCI computer. The unique design of the BaseBoard / PCI allows you to add from 96 to 384 lines of TTL compatible Digital I/O to your computer using a single small PCI card.

This product line consists of a small PCI card, about 2" x 3" (51mm x 76mm) that installs in the computer. A single DB25 connector on the back of the PCI card connects to an external DeskTop unit. The DeskTop unit contains front panel mounted header connectors that provide 96 Digital I/O connections. Up to four DeskTop units can be used with a single PCI card providing up to 384 Digital I/O connections. Optional Optical Isolation modules can be installed in the DeskTop unit for 2500v isolation in addition to higher than TTL signal capability.

Product Includes:

BaseBoard / PCI for inside the computer
BaseBoard / PCI DeskTop Unit
6 foot cable to connect PCI card to DeskTop unit
Win-32 device drivers and LabPac32 library

Features Include:

Small 32bit PCI Interface

2" x 3" (51mm x 76mm)

Single DB25 connector on interface
Single cable to DeskTop Unit
Small footprint DeskTop Unit with 96 Digital I/O

11" W x 4" H x 7" D (280mm x 102mm x 178mm)

Digital I/O with Dynamic Digital Buffering (DDB) technology provides 15ma/64ma source/sink current
Easy to add Opto-Isolation modules in DeskTop unit
Connect up to four external DeskTop units to go from 96 to 384 Digital I/O signals using a single PCI card
100% register level compatible with BaseBoard / ISA and will run your existing BaseBoard software with no modifications required !

The BaseBoard / PCI remains 100% compatible with the well established BaseBoard / ISA card allowing customers to upgrade to PCI systems without having to rewrite their existing software or re-cable their test environment!

Optional plug in opto-isolation boards provide both over-voltage protection and buffer/driver capabilities.

BaseBoard PCI with 4 DeskTop units

This photo shows the BaseBoard PCI card with Four of the DeskTop Units.
The PCI card and one DeskTop unit provides 96 Digital I/O.
Each additional unit (up to 4 total per PCI card) provides an additional 96 Digital I/O
The photo with 4 units provides 384 Digital I/O signals.

Scientific Solutions offers a trade-in credit of your BaseBoard / ISA cards towards a BaseBoard / PCI !
