  ADU218 USB Relay I/O Interface ( Dimensions, 5.1" X 2.8  X 1.0" )

The ADU218 USB  Solid-State Relay I/O Interface allows control of 8 SSR outputs, 8 contact or TTL inputs, and 8 event counters via a USB port.  The ADU218 can effectively convert  a standard PC to a powerful   PLC ( programmable logic controller ). High quality PhotoMOS solid-state relays switch AC or DC loads. This low-cost serial relay contact  interface is easy to use with VB, VB.NET, and Visual C++ via standard HID drivers included with Windows 98,2000,XP.  A mini-driver ( DLL )* is also provided allowing control using standard ASCII commands using familiar readfile , writefile commands.  The ADU218 includes a 10' USB cable and is available as a PCB or in an enclosure with several mounting options.
