USB has become the standard for connecting everything from sensors to controllers and motor drives to your PC or hand held computer. But USB was not intended for use outside of the electrically clean office or home environment. This can lead to expensive problems when you need to access data from a device installed in the field or in the factory.
Any time you connect remote I/O equipment to your computer there will be a risk for electrostatic discharge (ESD), power surges, ground loops, and electromagnetic interference /radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI). Any one of these events could damage your USB port or your entire PC. Why take a chance? Protect your investment with isolation technology from B&B Electronics.
