PCI Version of PCL-818HD Released

 

Advantech's PCL-818HD has been a very popular multifunction card for many years, so it is with great expectations that Advantech now releases its PCI equivalent called PCI -1718HDU.

PCI-1718HDU has been designed from scratch to be as compatible as possible with PCL-818HD, and as a result is form, function and software compatible.

"Migrating to PCI-1718HDU from PCL-818HD is practically effortless", said Peishan Juan, product manager at Advantech. "The same I/O connector is used so the same cables and accessories can be used. Programs such as those made in LabVIEW and ActiveDAQ don't need recompiling, and even the jumper settings and pin assignments are kept the same. It's essentially PCL-818HD with a Universal PCI bus".

PCI-1718HDU is a 12-bit multi-function DAQ card with a universal PCI interface. It has a flexible configuration for its analog inputs, 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels, a 12-bit analog output channel, 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs. Moreover, it also has a sampling rate up to 100 kS/s with resolution of 12 bits.

PCI-1718HDU adds more functionality to existing boards like PCLD-782 and PCLD-785. With PCLD-782, you have 16 channels for isolated digital input functionality. With PCLD-785, you have 16 channels with relay digital output functionality. PCI-1718HDU can also work with PCL-12237 to work like a dual IDC 20 to DB 37 converter. PCI-1718HDU not only upgrades the existing functions of the board without any extra wirings and setups, but is also capable of different forms of transmission. Please refer to the compatible accessories table below for more detailed information.

PCI-1718HDU has Plug & Play, which makes the upgrade more convenient, and also features an automatic channel/Gain/SD scanning circuit that provides multi-channel high-speed sampling with different gains and SD for each channel. Lastly, PCI-1718HDU has an onboard FIFO and programmable timer/counter. This allows for faster data transfers and a programmable counter.

Although PCI-1718HDU is ready to order for those who wish to change to PCI systems, PCL-818HD will still be available. Please contact your Advantech sales representative for more detailed information.

Compatible Accessoires Table
PCL-10120 The PCL-10120 cable is a 20-pin flat cable for PCI-1718HDU/HGU cards.
PCL-10137 The PCL-10137 shielded cable is specially designed for the PCI-1718HDU card to provide high resistance to noise. To achieve a 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.
PCL-12237 DB37 to dual IDC20 cable, 1m.
For PCL-818H users, PCL-12237 can transfer the pin-assignment of PCL-818HD to PCL-818H. The only difference between PCL-818HD and PCL-818H is the connector.
