Data Acquisition and I/O Modules

Data Acquisition and I/O Modules for Rugged Systems

Data acquisition and I/O modules give a rugged embedded computer the analog, digital, serial, CAN bus and Ethernet connections it needs to measure sensors, drive actuators and talk to the equipment around it.

The boards fit PC/104, PC/104-Plus, PCIe/104 and Mini PCIe hosts, so they stack on single board computers and Jetson carrier boards, and every module is rated for -40 to +85 °C with latching connectors for vibration.

Choose by signal type below, or read our guide to what PC/104 is and how a stack is built.

What to Specify in a Data Acquisition Module

A data acquisition module adds analog, digital, serial or CAN I/O to an embedded computer, usually as a PC/104 stack or a Mini PCIe card. These are the points to check before you choose one.

Signal Types

Analog inputs and outputs, digital I/O, relays, counters, serial ports and CAN. List every signal before choosing a module.

PC/104 Stack or Mini PCIe

PC/104, PC/104-Plus and PCIe/104 modules stack on the CPU board; Mini PCIe and USB versions suit other hosts.

Isolated I/O

Optically isolated I/O on many modules protects the computer from ground loops and electrical noise.

Temperature Range

Many modules are rated from -40 to 85 °C, which suits vehicles, aircraft and unheated enclosures.

Drivers and Software

Linux and Windows drivers with programming libraries and example code, so the module works with your application.

Rugged Construction

Latching connectors and stackable formats hold under shock and vibration in vehicles and field machines.
