There is not much you can do with a card. I worked with data acquisition cards. Say you have 8 analog inputs, 8 analog outputs, 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs; then you have to place the plugs on the sides for all those. They take space. You can not add many i/o on the edge of the card, they don't fit. Instead, depending on the needed speed, you could use some external bus and place the devices on the bus. Maybe USB, but there are industrial buses. One requirement, though, is that applications want to sync all i/o. Ie, take a reading of all the sensors at the same millisecond. -- Cheers, Carlos.
