PC/front-panel configuration for convenient setup enables quick, easy integration with existing systems and reduces deployment time. Digital and analog inputs along with digital outputs provide versatile signal handling, supporting a wide range of signal types and routing needs in a single device. When an error status is detected, it can automatically shut down or issue a warning, helping protect equipment, reduce downtime, and maintain safe operation. Automatic, manual, and remote start options offer flexible control to fit different workflows, from automated sequences to local testing or remote operation. These functions work in harmony to meet various application requirements and deliver reliable performance across a range of environments. Use scenarios - Industrial automation and control panels: use the mixed analog and digital I/O to connect sensors and control signals, with automatic or remote start options to fit automated production lines and maintenance routines. - Laboratory testing and data acquisition: PC/front-panel configuration simplifies setup for experiments, while flexible I/O supports diverse test signals and logging, with automatic shutdown alerts for fault conditions. - Signal processing and AV systems: manage both digital and analog signals with safe error handling and flexible start modes to support diagnostic checks, remote operations, and routine system validation.
