1 Overview
1.1Introduction
Thank you for buying the Advantech PCI-1730U/1733/1734. The Advantech PCI1730U/1733/1734 is a 32-channel isolated digital input/output card for the PCI bus.
For easy monitoring, each isolated digital input channel is equipped with one red
LED, and each isolated digital output channel is equipped with one green LED to
show its ON/OFF status. The PCI-1730U and PCI-1733’s isolated digital input channels are ideal for digital input in noisy environments or with floating potentials.
The PCI-1730U/1733/1734 provides specific functions for different user requirements:
PCI-1730U: 32-ch Isolated Digital I/O Card

The Advantech PCI-1730U/1733/1734 offers the following main features:
Fully Compatible with ISA-bus Products
All the specifications, connectors, pin-assignments, registries format are the same.
Users can upgrade their system to PCI bus without changing any existing wiring.
For Existing Windows Application Programs:
Users just need to remove the PCL-730/733/734 via the 'Device Manager', then
install the PCI-1730U/1733/1734 instead (the device number must be the same).
After that, the user's original windows application program can work with PCI-1730U/
1733/1734 properly.
Chapter 1Overview
For Existing DOS Application Programs:
Users just need to add some statements (to get the PCI bus PCI-1730U/1733/1734
card's address and IRQ information) from our PCI-1730U/1733/1734 DOS example
program into their original DOS application program. After that, user's original DOS
application program can work with PCI-1730U/1733/1734 properly.
Robust Protection
The PCI-1730U/1733 digital input channels feature robust isolation protection for
industrial, lab and machinery automation applications. It durably withstands voltage
up to 2,500 VDC, preventing your host system from any incidental harm. If connected
to an external input source with surge-protection, the PCI-1730U/1733/1734 can offer
up to a maximum of 2,000 VDC ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection. Even with
an input voltage rising up to 70 VDC, the PCI-1730U/1733 can still manage to work
properly, albeit only for a short period of time.
Wide Input Range
The PCI-1730U/1733 has a wide range of input voltage from 5 to 30 VDC, and is suitable for most industrial applications with 12 VDC or 24 VDC input voltage.
Plug-and-Play Function
The PCI-1730U/1733/1734 is a Plug-and-Play device, which fully complies with PCI
Specification Rev 2.2. During card installation, there is no need to set jumpers or DIP
switches. Instead, all bus-related configurations such as base I/O address and interrupt are automatically done by the Plug-and-Play function.
3PCI-1730U/1733/1734 User Manual
Board ID
The PCI-1730U/1733/1734 has a built-in DIP Switch that helps define each card’s ID
when multiple PCI-1730U/1733/1734 cards have been installed on the same PC
chassis. The board ID setting function is very useful when users build their system
with multiple PCI-1730U/1733/1734 cards. With correct Board ID settings, you can
easily identify and access each card during hardware configuration and software programming.
Note:

Chapter 1Overview
1.6Accessories
Advantech offers a complete set of accessory products to support the PCI-1730U/
1733/1734 card. These accessories include:
Wiring Cable
The PCL-10137 shielded cable is specially designed for PCI-1730U/1733/1734 cards
to provide high resistance to noise. To achieve better signal quality, the signal wires
are twisted in such a way as to form a “twisted-pair cable”, reducing cross-talk and
noise from other signal sources. Furthermore, its analog and digital lines are separately sheathed and shielded to neutralize EMI/EMC problems.
Wiring Boards
The ADAM-3937 is a 37-pin D-type wiring terminal module for DIN-rail mounting.
This terminal module can be readily connected to the Advantech PC-Lab cards and
allow easy yet reliable access to individual pin connections for the PCI-1730U/1733/
1734 card.
The PCLD-880 is a universal screw-terminal board to be used with any of the PCLabCards which have 37-pin D-type connectors.
All the specifications, connectors, pin-assignments, registries format are the same.
Users can upgrade their system into PCI bus without change any existed wiring system.

2 Installation
2.1Unpacking
After receiving your PCI-1730U/1733/1734 package, please inspect its contents first.
The package should contain the following items:
The PCI-1730U/1733/1734 card harbors certain electronic components vulnerable to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD could easily damage the integrated circuits and
certain components if preventive measures are not carefully paid attention to.
Before removing the card from the antistatic plastic bag, you should take following
precautions to ward off possible ESD damage:
Touch the metal part of your computer chassis with your hand to discharge
static electricity accumulated on your body. Or one can also use a grounding
strap.
Touch the anti-static bag to a metal part of your computer chassis before open-
ing the bag.
Take hold of the card only by the metal bracket when removing it out of the bag.
After taking out the card, first you should:
Inspect the card for any possible signs of external damage (loose or damaged components, etc.). If the card is visibly damaged, please notify our service department or
our local sales representative immediately. Avoid installing a damaged card into your
system.
Also pay extra caution to the following aspects to ensure proper installation:
Avoid physical contact with materials that could hold static electricity such as
plastic, vinyl and Styrofoam.
Whenever you handle the card, grasp it only by its edges. DO NOT TOUCH the
exposed metal pins of the connector or the electronic components.
Note!Keep the anti-static bag for future use. You might need the original bag
to store the card if you have to remove the card from PC or transport it
elsewhere.

Isolated Digital Output
Each of the 32 isolated digital output channels comes equipped with a darlington
transistor. Every eight ouput channels share common emitters and integral suppression diodes for inductive load, activated by connecting PCOM to VDD. (Channels 0 ~
7 use PCOM0. Channels 8 ~ 15 use PCOM1. Channels 16 ~ 23 use PCOM2. If the
external voltage source (5~40 V) is connected to each isolated output channel (IDO)
and its isolated digital output turns on (200 mA max./ch), the card's current will sink
from the external voltage source. The current through EGND should not exceed 4.8
A. If the current for all channels combined exceeds 2 A, CN2 must be connected to
the external ground to share the extra current. The following figure shows how to
connect an external output load to the card's isolated outputs.
The most important consideration in programming the PCI-1730U/1733/1734 at the
register level is to understand the function of the card's registers. The information in
the following sections is provided only for users who would like to do their own lowlevel programming.
C.2I/O Port Address Map
The PCI-1730U/1733/1734 requires 16 consecutive addresses in the PC's I/O space.
The address of each register is specified as an offset from the card's base address.
For example, BASE+0 is the card's base address and BASE+6 is the base address
plus six bytes. The table C-1 shows the function of each register of the PCI-1730U/
1733/1734 or driver and its address relative to the card's base address.
