The O-48 card is now available! This card will provide 48 full-function
output points. This means every output will be able to control throttles,
searchlight signals, turnouts, crossing flashers: Everything the IO-48 can do on
its 32 outputs, but on all 48 outputs simultaneously. The O-48 card is the same
size as the IO-48.

 |
48 outputs, each providing 150 milliamp current sinking
(open drain) power. Connect to external voltages up to 24 volts or power
directly from the card, up to 16 volts. |
 |
A wide variety of output functions, including support for
all types of model railroad signals, crossing flashers, turnout motors and
solenoids, and throttles. |
 | A variety of easy-to-use, plug-in options allow conversion of output
points to high-side drivers (for common cathode signals), high-powered
bridge (bi-directional) drivers, relay outputs, and throttle
drivers. Up to 6 output plug-ins can be used on
one O-48 card. |
 | All outputs equipped with plug-in molex connectors for ease of
maintenance. Cards can be easily plugged and unplugged for easy swappability. |
 | Optional plug-in screw terminals convert outputs to screw-down
connections. Allow the plug-in capability of molex connectors with the ease
of installation of screw terminals. |
 | On-card jumpers and switches select interface baud rate (19,200 or
38,400), and card address (255 choices). |
 | All output drivers are implemented with Integrated Circuits in sockets for
easy replacement in case of accidental damage. |
 | Power can be connected 3 ways – screw terminals, molex connector, or
power jack.

 | NOTES -
All functions are identical on the IO-48 and O-48 with one exception:
When using the IO-48 "blink" function, each point can have its
own blink rate specified. On the O-48, there is one "master"
blink rate which is used for all blinking outputs on the card. All other
O-48 output functions are completely independent across all 48 output
points. |
