The QUANCOM® USBOPTOREL32 board has 32 opto inputs and 32 relays and is designed for industrial purposes.

Optocouplers protecting all inputs up to 500 Volts

Your personal computer is protected against damage in case of overvoltage by galvanic isolation. These optocouplers are designed as alternating current optocouplers which means that you can choose the polarity of input signals optionally . You can also accommodate the input voltage range individually. If you want to have an input range from 5V to 12V feel free to tell us in your order. The default input range is 12V to 30V.

Input edge detection
The 32 inputs are equiped with input flip flops which detect quick input state changes or remove switch bounce. This allows the detection of fast input changes.

Timeout control
The board has a configurable onboard timeout control which detects all processes to the USBOPTOREL32 USB Module. If the software hangs and the board isn't controlled by the personal computer the outputs are switched off. Think about a heating which overheats because the PC is "to busy" to switch the heating off. You may setup the timeout-time from 1ms to 16 hours in different steps. This feature can be switched off by a software command.

Additional Features

As all USB Optocoupler Relaymodules each channel has its own optical indicator through a LED. Through 4 additional Status-LEDs the state of the module is allways readable.

By mounting the module on to a top-hat rail the installation is very simple. You may order the needed rail in our shop, too.
An external 12V to 30V power supply is not needed to operate this module, but recommended. Also these power supplies may be ordered at our house. You may choose between our 12V/3A or 24V/2A.

By using the dip switch located on the mainboard the address of the module is configureable from 0 to 7. This address is used to identify the module in our QLIB if more than one module of the same type is used. You also have the possibility to configure this address by using our software tool which is downloadable on our website. Please note that the firmware installed on the module has to be above version 1.30 in order let the softwrae configure the address.

Software library

VB USBOPTOREL32 example
The USBOPTOREL32 example shows the programming with Visual Basic

You don't need any knowledge in driver development. We implemented a command set which is usable for all operating systems. An application that controls the USBOPTOREL32, and which is generated for Windows 98 can be used directly on a Windows XP PC.

With the QLIB it is easy to create applications with Visual-Studio .NET, Visual-Basic, Borland Delphi or other modern compilers. Even an interface to MS Excel, MS Access or Sun Java is available. We included the VB USBOPTOREL32 example which shows how to program and test the card. It also includes the source code which is a good starting point for your own applications.

The USBOPTOREL32 is also available as USBOPTO32IO .
