ICL8-GP516: High-Reliability I/O for Physical AI Systems

ICL8-GP516: The I/O Controller for High-Reliability & Physical AI Systems in Energy, Industrial Automation, Test and Instrumentation Applications

ICL8-GP516 is a part of our Physical-AI enabled product portfolio that elevates your control beyond limits. This single board integrates dual controllers for inherent functional safety, protecting core functions with 1500V isolation and safeguarding downstream systems with integrated relay arrays. Capture advanced sensor data from PWM to PFM, and leverage dual RS-485/CAN Bus for reliable connectivity. As a cornerstone of our Physical-AI enabled portfolio, the GP516, when paired with our proprietary drivers, directly feeds data and information into your AI models, eliminating extensive software layers and simplifying the development of autonomous decision-making. Drive high-power contactor banks for EV charging and BESS with precision algorithmic switching, or deploy it as a standalone functional safety controller in your most demanding applications. This is advanced control; this is AI-ready hardware. This is how you lead.
