The Parker/Compumotor SIM8-IN-EVM32 is a digital input SIM card that expands the I/O capabilities of the Compumotor EVM32 and EVM32-II baseboards. Providing eight digital input channels, this card enables real-time monitoring and integration of external digital devices into motion control systems built around Compumotor 6K controllers. The SIM8-IN-EVM32 plugs directly into a SIM slot on the EVM32 baseboard and features a red color code for visual identification.
