The PCIe-7396 is a 96-bit parallel digital input/output (DIO) card esigned for industrial applications. The plug and play feature of PCI Express Bus architecture makes it easy for users to install the PCIe-7396 on their systems quickly.
The PCIe-7396 emulates two/four 8255 Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) chips. Each PPI offers three 8-bit DIO ports which can be accessed simultaneously. The total 6/12 ports can be programmed as input or output independently.
The PCIe-7396 supports external triggering to capture digital input data. The “Change of State” (COS) interrupt is provided so that
when any digital input changes its state, an interrupt will be generated for the user to handle the external event.
