CCC IOC-555-D 17-550555-001 Simplex I/O Card / Communication Control Board

Technical Specifications

  1. I/O Configuration:
    • Digital Inputs: 8 channels .
    • Digital Outputs: 8 channels .
    • Analog I/O:

    • Transportation systems (railway signaling, highway monitoring) .
  4. Data Acquisition & Testing:
    • Environmental monitoring .
    • Test/measurement equipment for analog/digital signal processing .

Key Advantages

  • Performance: Reduces downtime and maintenance costs .
  • Safety: Enhanced isolation and fault protection .
  • Ease of Use: Browser-based configuration for I/O operations .

Evidence Reconciliation

  • Contradictions Addressed:
    • I/O Channel Count:  (analog I/O) and  (32 channels) conflict with the predominant 8+8 digital I/O consensus . The 8+8 configuration is prioritized due to consistent manufacturer documentation.
    • Temperature Range: ’s upper limit of +85°C  is noted but excluded due to broader verification of +70°C .
    • Ethernet Support: ’s claim of Gigabit Ethernet  is included but marked as unverified by other sources.
  • Excluded Data:
    •  (Intel processor) and  (automotive ECU) describe unrelated products.
    • ’s “16-channel” claim  conflicts with core specifications and is omitted.
