Liberty, SC (December 21, 2006) - Sealevel Systems, Inc. announces the expansion of the SeaDAC family of USB data acquisition devices with the introduction of the SeaDAC PLC-16H digital I/O module. Offering a powerful combination of high-current Form C outputs and optically isolated inputs, SeaDAC PLC-16H modules are perfect for a wide variety of applications including process control, facility management, security, and broadcast automation. The SeaDAC PLC-16H provides eight SPDT high-current Form C relays that can directly switch up to 6A loads at 250VAC and 100VDC.
Additionally, eight non-polarized inputs can monitor 5-30VDC and provide optical isolation to protect the host computer and other sensitive equipment from voltage transients and ground loops that are common in industrial environments. For connecting I/O, removable terminal blocks are standard, enabling fast, versatile field wiring. For easy software integration, application programs or 3 rd party software can use Sealevel’s SeaMAX library or industry standard Modbus protocol. A variety of helpful diagnostic utilities and sample programs are included. SeaDAC modules are housed in rugged, attractive plastic enclosures and include a highly-retentive USB type B connector to prevent accidental disconnection.
Standard operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C and extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) is optional. The SeaDAC PLC-16H, part number 8232, is priced from $299 in small volume quantities and product is available immediately from stock. Like all Sealevel I/O products, SeaDAC modules are backed by a lifetime warranty. Sealevel Systems, founded in 1986, provides industrial computing solutions in addition to a variety of communications and I/O products including PCI Bus cards, Ethernet serial servers, USB serial adapters, PCMCIA cards, and PC/104 modules. Sealevel’s product line includes multi-port RS-232, RS-422/485, RS-232/422/485 multi-interface high-speed sync/async, and digital/relay I/O.
