Keithley KUSB-3160: 96-Channel Digital I/O USB Module
The Keithley KUSB-3160 Digital USB Module is engineered for high-performance data acquisition and control applications that require extensive digital input/output capabilities. With an impressive 96 digital lines, including 64 I/O and 32 input channels, this versatile module is ideal for integration into a wide range of testing environments.
Organized into twelve 8-bit ports, the KUSB-3160 offers eight ports that can be configured for either input or output, alongside four dedicated input ports. This flexible design accommodates complex configurations and enhances operational efficiency. The digital outputs are capable of driving external solid-state relays with a 12mA sink current, ensuring robust control over connected devices.
One of the standout features of the Keithley KUSB-3160 is its ability to generate interrupts when the state of any of the eight digital I/O lines on ports 1 or 2 changes. This functionality is particularly advantageous for monitoring critical signals, allowing the host computer to respond immediately to changes or initiate data transfers seamlessly. Interrupts can be enabled on a bit-by-bit basis for tailored control over signal processing.
All signals are conveniently routed to a dedicated, standard 100-pin connector located on the module's backplate, streamlining integration with existing systems. For additional ease-of-use, accessories such as the KUSB-STP100 screw terminal panel and KUSB-CABDIO cable are available to facilitate connections.
Safety and reliability are paramount in digital communication, and the KUSB-3160 is equipped with a 500V isolation barrier that protects both the connected computer and the module itself from voltage spikes, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and surges. This ensures a dependable data stream, maintaining the integrity of your measurements.
