4. Functionality
The AX10450 module functions as a digital input interface for PC/104-based embedded systems. Each of the sixteen input channels is optically isolated from the system logic, providing electrical separation between field wiring and the host computer. This isolation protects the system from voltage surges, ground potential differences, and electrical noise commonly found in industrial environments.
When a voltage signal (5–24 V DC) is applied to an input channel, the corresponding optocoupler activates, transmitting a logic-level signal to the PC/104 bus interface. The host system can then read the input states through standard I/O port addressing.
Typical Use Cases and Applications:
