CHAPTER

Introduction

This chapter introduces the PCIE-1756 cards and their typical applications.

Sections include:

• Features

• Applications

• Installation Guide

• Software Overview

• Device Driver Roadmap

• Accessories

Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you for buying the Advantech PCIE-1756 which is a 32/32-ch isolated digital input/output card. It is an advanced-performance data acquisition card based on 32-bit PCI Express bus architecture. It features a unique circuit design and complete functions for data acquisition and control. The following sections of this chapter will provide further information about features of PCIE-1756, a Quick Start for installation, together with some brief information on software and accessories.

1.1 Features

• 32/32 isolated digital input/output channels

• Wide input range (10 ~ 30 V

• Either +/- voltage input for DI by group

• Wide output range (5 ~ 40 V

• High sink current on isolated output channels (500mA max./ch)

• High over-voltage protection (70 V

• High-voltage isolation (2,500 V

• 2,000 V

ESD protection

• Output status read-back

• Keeps the output settings and values after system hot reset

• Interrupt handling capability

• Board ID

)

PCIE-1756 offers the following main features:

Robust Protection

The PCIE-1756 features a robust isolation protection for applications in industrial, lab and machinery automation. The PCIE-1756 can durably withstand a voltage up to 2,500 V

, preventing your host system from

any incidental harms.

PCIE-1756 User Manual 2

Wide Input Range

The PCIE-1756 has a wide range of input voltage from 10 to 30 V

it is suitable for most industrial applications with 12 V

and 24 VDC

, and

input voltage. In the mean time, we are also ready to serve your special needs for specific input voltage range. Do not hesitate to ask us about tailoring our standard products to meet your specifications. All these merits make PCIE-1756 the best choice for industrial applications.

Wide Output Range

The PCIE-1756 also features a wide output voltage range from 5 to 40 V

, suitable for most industrial applications with 12 VDC/24 VDC out-

put voltage. In the mean time, we are also ready to serve your special needs for specific output voltage range. Do not hesitate to ask us about tailoring our standard products to meet your specifications. All these merits make PCIE-1756 the best choice for industrial applications.

Board ID Setting

The PCIE-1756 has a built-in DIP switch that helps define each card’s ID when multiple cards have been installed on the same PC chassis. The board ID setting function is very useful when users build their system with multiple PCIE-1756 cards. With correct Board ID settings, you can easily identify and access each card during hardware configuration and software programming.

Channel-Freeze Function

The PCIE-1756 provides Channel-Freeze function, which can be enabled either in dry contact or wet contact mode (selectable by the on-board jumper). When the Channel-Freeze function is enabled, the last status of each digital output channel will be safely kept for emergency use. Moreover, you can enable this function through software as it is useful in software simulation and testing program.

Reset Protection

When the system has undergone a hot reset (i.e. without turning off the system power), the PCIE-1756 can either retain outputs values of each channel, or return to its default configuration as open status, depending on its on-board jumper setting. This function protects the system from wrong operations during unexpected system resets.
