Matrox Indio is a versatile, industrial I/O and communications, PCIe board. It has an Advanced I/O Engine that provides 16 optically-isolated, digital auxiliary I/O signals (8 inputs and 8 outputs), and includes I/O command lists, timers, quadrature decoders, and user outputs. It also supports GigE Vision capture, as well as Industrial communication using the PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or Modbus/TCP industrial protocol. To support PROFINET communication, Matrox Indio also includes a Matrox PROFINET Engine.
In addition to being prelicensed for use with the MIL drivers for GigE Vision cameras, the Matrox Indio board can act as a fingerprint for licensing supplemental MIL functionality. The board can also store a supplemental MIL license, which facilitates the process of moving to a new computer.
