Expanding I/O

This low cost, powerful, compact general purpose I/O module, 100 x 70mm, is available as a PCB or encapsulated. Two models at 12-80 V, provide 18 multi- purpose I/O pins with: 13 digital and 5 analog inputs; 1 and 3 Amp outputs configurable as PWM, Constant Current or Constant Voltage; 1 quadrature input; a serial port; 12VDC unregulated and a 5VDC regulated power supplies. 

The encoder input is suited to reading quadrature encoders from steer or positioning devices with automatic conversion to speed, RPM and distance travelled. The 1356 module is programmed via serial or CANopen for simple integration.
