I just got contacted by a guy looking to retrofit a machine with a LOT of I/O points. He needs 90 inputs and 90 outputs. I see there is a driver for the Opto22 PCIAC5 board, but that one is expensive, and only has 48 I/Os. Also, there is the Advantech PCL720, with 32 each way, and quite a bit cheaper. But, the driver notes it has NOT been tested with the PCI version. I see the PCI boards may be organized a bit differently than the ISA board. Has anybody tested the PCI version of the Advantech with the LinuxCNC driver?
So, can anybody recommend a mega-I/O board that can be used with LinuxCNC? 180 I/O points is not practical with my PPMC board system. But, if another board could handle all this I/O, then he could use my PPMC for the motion part of the interface.
