Sources for I/O cards
Hi Guys,
I am wondering what any of you would recommend as an economical source of high speed I/O (input/output) cards, say with 32 or 64 terminals These things seem to be an awfully high price for what you are getting, at least in my searches.
Thanks.

Hi Cadcam,
I guess I shouldn't expect people to read my mind, should I?
What I'm looking for is a digital I/O expansion card for my cnc retrofit. Basically, nothing more than an interface between my operator control panel buttons (momentary and maintained contact buttons) and the PC.

So I take you dont want a PCI card that supports that many Com ports?

I have been considering a multi-port comm board vs a switch box. How much are these cards? Where should I look? and at what type?
I will need support for at least 5 ports, possibly 7.

Nope, different kind of I/O I'm talking about. Just setting a few bits with momentary buttons is all I want to be able to doOriginally posted by cadcam

Hu,
If it's just hooked to buttons, why hi speed?
Eric
I wish it wouldn't crash.
Why high speed: I want to try an experiment a some point with receiving an encoder pulse to trigger a sync signal. But, other than that, I guess I wouldn't really need high speed.
Show me anything that is remotely connected with this topic and I'll look at it or consider it.

I don't know of any off hand Hu, but it's posible to build a I/O card for your parallel port. 32 bits is a little high tho for a single parallel port. What software are you going to use? I really don't have any experience with these io cards. Do you just use your pc as a plc?

Sort of, I'm getting ready to do another Camsoftcorp retrofit.
I'm using a Galil 1842 motion controller, and it has 8 inputs and 8 outputs available on board, but I need a few more inputs.
The Camsoft Cnc Professional software (not to be confused with another company's product) expects a properly interfaced i/o card, with an 8255 chip (whatever that is). This is why I think building one is out of my league. But the cards I have looked at cost as much as an ATI Radeon 9800, and have less technology, I would think!

Hu,
How about one of these cards?

Thanks Chris,
I'll study those.

HFD,
I noticed the boards from Jameco are actually made by Computerboards. These are the I/O cards I used with CamSoft.
