Advantech's PCI Series- Continuous Innovation

Advantech has been launching a series of PCI-bus data acquisition cards. These included PCI-1750 and PCI-1751 for digital I/O transmission and counter functions, as well as PCI-1710 and PCI-1710HG (High Gain) for multi-function data acquisition and control. PCI-1760, PCI-1720, PCI-1713, and PCI-1753/1753E are soon to be released.
Advantech PCI cards provide customers with powerful features such as retaining I/O setting after system reset, dry and wet contacts support, powerful interrupt functions, and 100 kS/s with 2500 VDC isolation. They have proven to meet the highest demand for industrial grade stability and provide user-friendly and high-performance solutions for factory and lab automation, or other field applications.

No More Fear to Reset the PC

Advantech's PCI-bus digital I/O cards provide users with the unique function that all port I/O settings and output values can be retained in the event of a "hot reset". Users can choose to retain the cards' default states or the last I/O port settings and output values only by setting a jumper. This function helps to eliminate the danger of faulty operation during an unexpected system reset or applications failure.

Dry & Wet Contact Support for Digital Input

To encounter problems when digital in-put signals are too weak or when users can not find a voltage source to drive the digital signal contact, Advantech's digital I/O cards support both wet and dry contacts in the input channels. This provides users with good industrial on/ off control and makes connection with other devices a very easy task.
