The 16 lines of digital I/O and two RS232 ports deal with any communications issues and if power consumption is a consideration, the 6319-F-D uses a miserly 370mA operating power from a +5V supply. It has a watchdog timer and DSL are offering two operating temperature options – -20°C to +70°C as standard and an extended temperature option which runs from -40°C to +85°C.
A development kit for the ICOP 6319-F-D is also available.
