UIO-333 Digital InputsOutputs amp DAQ board with

255 channels and USBRS232BluetoothRF connectivity

Welcome to the world of Computer Automation This Digital InputOutputs (DIO) Board - UIO-333

is a perfect companion for all your computer automation projects where you require large number of

IOs as well as DAQ capability

UIO-333 can be connected with USB RS232 serial COM port Bluetooth RF to PC or laptop

( different models have different connectivity) It has up to 255 digital amp 69 analogue IOs that will

help you to monitor various real world scenarios using switches amp different kind of sensors to monitor

many parameters like Temperature Pressure Light Touch PH etc This card is not only good for monitoring

various parameters but a perfect candidate for Data Acquisition amp control applications

It appears as a USB CDC ( Communications Device Class) device when connected to USB port of a

computer ( for USB based cards) This creates a Virtual Serial (COM) Port which allows easy communication

with the card Any programming language that supports serial communications ( C C C++ VB VBNET

Perl Java etc) can be used to communicate with UIO-333 very easily Easy to use commands are available

to communicate with UIO-333 which handle various tasks like Controlling Digital Inputs amp Outputs and

getting analog data etc

The controller provides up to 255 digital input amp output pins It has also got up to 69 analog input pins

All pins will be individually configured as Digital Input or Digital output or Analog input automatically

as per input command on the fly

Each Digital pin can support a TTL or Schmitt Trigger Input or a 33V output Each analog pin will convert

analog voltage ( Between 0 to 3V) or Higher ( through voltage divider) into 12 bit resolution value The

output can be raw data or converted into voltage The raw data be converted into required form using

conversion formulas

Any kind of sensor wether it is providing digital output or analogue output can be interfaced with UIO-333

and monitored with the help of computer

Please note that each board is having unique

serial number so each board will get unique

COM Port number amp will remain same even if

you plug the board in any other USB port

of your PC or Laptop

This helps when you develop custom software

using UIO-333 it will connect with the same card

even if you change USB port once it
