The National Instruments PCI-6515 board is an industrial 64-channel isolated digital I/O interface for PCI. The NI PCI-6515, which has 32 digital inputs with optical isolation provided in banks of eight channels, is completely jumper free. You can wire each input bank in a source or sink configuration. The module has 32 sink digital outputs in 8-channel banks. With the PCI-6515, you can input and output at digital levels up to 30 VDC and switch currents of up to 475 mA for one channel per bank. Isolation protects your system from noise and spikes and breaks ground loops. Using the programmable power-up states, you can configure the initial output states in software to ensure glitch-free, safe operations when connected to industrial actuators(pumps/valves/motors/relays). Using the digital I/O watchdogs, the board can go to a configurable safe output state if a computer or application fault occurs, providing fault detection recovery. With change detection, the PCI-6515 notifies and triggers your software application when a digital change of state occurs (without polling). Programmable input filters eliminate noise and provide debouncing for digital switches/relays through a software-selectable filter. The NI-DAQmx software technology includes NI DAQ Assistant to create your application with no programming. NI-DAQmx makes it fast and easy to configure your device and take advantage of all the high-reliability industrial features in LabVIEW, ANSI C, Microsoft Visual C++, or Microsoft .NET Languages (C# and Visual Basic .NET).

Since your device does not have direct signal connectivity, you need a connector block to act as an interface between your sensors/signals and your device. A connector block provides easy access to the inputs and outputs of your hardware.
You need a cable to transmit signals between your device and your signal connections on your connector block.
You need software to interface with your hardware and to collect, analyze, present, and store your measurements. This board is compatible with a variety of programming languages, including LabVIEW, C/C++, Visual Basic, and .NET. LabVIEW provides the easiest integration with all of your NI hardware and is recommended to maximize your hardware investment.
