Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
What Is Intelligent BOM Management? A Guide to Smarter Product Development
Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
The OMG-PIO-24-LPCI Low Profile PCI digital I/O interface from Omega Engineering Inc. (Stamford, CT) provides 24 channels of buffered drive digital I/O emulating 8255 mode zero. The board can be used for PC-based control and automation of equipment including sensors, switches, security control systems, and other industrial automation systems.
The OMG-PIO-24-LPCIs, which are compatible with Windows 98/2000/XP and Linux and include programming support for Visual Basic 6 (and higher) and Visual C/C++, are 2.5 x 4.7 inches in size and weigh 1.6 oz.
10K pull-up resistors are included and optional values are available. The OMG-PIO-24-LPCI contains three groups of eight-bit I/O ports. Each group is individually configurable as input or output to suit the automation task.
Other specs include a power requirement of ±5V @ 1A; outputs sink up to 24 mA, source up to 15 mA; operating temperature is 0 to 70 degrees C (32 to 158 degrees F); storage temperature is -50 to 105 degrees C (-58 to 221 degrees F); and the humidity range is 10 to 90 percent.
The board is MD1 Low Profile and Universal Bus (3.3V and 5V) compatible and ships with a ribbon cable terminating in an industry-standard 50-pin IDC connector.
The OMG-PIO-24-LPCI is for use in Low Profile PCI slots only. If you have a standard size PCI slot, order the OMG-PIO-24-PCI. Both models cost $159. Go to Omega for details.
