Zebra Indio overview

Zebra 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, Zebra Indio also includes a PROFINET Engine.

In addition to being prelicensed for use with the Aurora Imaging Library drivers for GigE Vision cameras, the Zebra Indio board can act as a fingerprint for licensing supplemental Aurora Imaging Library functionality. The board can also store a supplemental Aurora Imaging Library license, which facilitates the process of moving to a new computer.
