DESCRIPTION

Imagine safely and reliably sensing and switching 5-60 VDC, 120 VAC,
and 240 VAC loads with a Raspberry Pi. Well, now you can!

With Opto 22's Digital I/O Carrier Board for Raspberry Pi,
your Pi can harness the power and performance of world-class,
industrially hardened digital input/output (I/O) modules. Use your Pi
to switch industrial-level electrical loads far beyond the Pi's built in 3.3
VDC GPIO pins, and monitor and control electrical loads required for
real-world devices like industrial motors, pumps, and sensors.

The Carrier Board works with any model Pi with a 40-pin header
connector. Just insert the board’s interface cable into your Pi's GPIO
connector, and snap the board onto a compatible Opto 22 rack.

Use the rack's power supply to power the Pi, and then use your
favorite Pi-supported programming language to read and write to up
to 16 digital I/O points. (Mounting rack, power supply, and I/O
modules are sold separately.)

Also, the Carrier Board’s auxiliary 40-pin GPIO connector lets other
Pi-compatible peripherals access the Pi’s unused pins.

G4 or SNAP?

If you don’t already have I/O for your project, base your choice on the
sensors and actuators you plan to use.

Opto 22 G4 I/O has 1 point per module. Input modules are used
to sense field signals. Each output module is individually fused
and can switch up to 3 A.
(For G4 I/O see page 3.)

Opto 22 SNAP I/O takes up less space with 4 points per module
and costs less per point. Most output modules can switch up to

0.75 A per point or a total of 3 A per module. SNAP-OMR6
modules can switch up to 6 A.
(For SNAP I/O, see page 4.)

If you prefer to use Quad Pak or G1 I/O digital modules, the Carrier
Board also supports the PB16HQ, PB4H, PB8H and PB16H racks.

Physical Setup

Opto 22 I/O has been field-proven for nearly 40 years and is available
worldwide. Most I/O modules carry Opto 22’s Limited Lifetime
Warranty. For details, see
