BitBox I/O Box Outperforms Traditional I/O Cards
Description
BitBox provides an unprecedented 36 inputs and 36 outputs in a compact, DIN-rail mounted form factor that supports TTL, LVDS, open collector, opto-isolated, and 24V signaling.
Amazingly simple to deploy, the BitBox is controlled solely by a BitFlow frame grabber, using the same API, driver and manual. As a result, the machine maker achieves significant cost savings, while reducing space requirements and flattening the learning curve for customers.
In addition, this arrangement isolates noisy, high-voltage signals generated by the PC away, keeping them away from the machine where they could cause data drops, video problems, malfunctions, and random network errors.
