Advantech Launches Two New TTL PCI Express DIO Cards

Advantech’s two new PCI Express DIO cards provide both 5V/TTL compatible DIO and counter/timer on the same card, therefore saving the need to buy additional cards in areas that have a limited number of slots. The PCIE-1751 has 48 channels and the PCIE-1753 has 96 channels and are capable of performing tasks for many industrial features such as dry and wet contact; digital input filter to filter signal noise and improve data accuracy; pattern match interrupt; changes of status interrupt; and additional counter/timer channels.

Through the use of interrupts the card removes the need for the CPU to continuously check the changes in status and pattern matching, thereby ensuring that users can get better system performance.

PCI Express has been available in commercial PC’s for a long time and is becoming more common in industrial machines and since these PCIE cards use the same underlying bus connections, there is no need to redevelop software specifically for them and users can transfer their legacy systems to the new interface without any inconvenience.

Since the PCI Express bus is similar to the standard PCI bus, these cards can be configured using the same DAQNavi software. To help with the development of configurations and applications Advantech provide a range of options such as an SDK which works with: Visual C++, Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#, Delphi, BCB, LabVIEW, QT and Java. Also included is the integrated utility, Advantech Navigator, which provides configuration, function testing, documentation and many practical coded examples.

The PCIE-1751 and PCIE-1753 are the latest in a list of seven other PCIE cards that Advantech offers:
PCIE-1620/1622: PCIE-1620 is an 8-port RS-232, and PCIE-1622 is an 8-port RS-232/422/485 PCI Express communication cards that are compatible with the PCI Express x 1 specification.

PCIE-1672PC/1674PC: The PCIE-1672PC/PCIE-1674PC PoE (Power over Ethernet) PCIE series is PCI express communication card which supports 2 or 4 independent 10/100/1000BaseT(X) 802.3af (PoE) compliant Ethernet ports.

PCIE-1730: PCIE-1730 offers 32-channel isolated digital input channels as well as 32-channel isolated digital output channels with isolation protection up to 2,500 VDC, which makes them ideal for industrial applications where high-voltage isolation is required.

PCIE-1744: PCIE-1744 is an advanced high-performance simultaneous analog input acquisition card based on the PCI Express bus. PCIE-1752/1754/1756: The Advantech PCIE-1752, PCIE-1754 and PCIE-1756 series products offer 64 isolated digital input/output channels with 2,500 VDC isolation protection. PCIE-1760: PCIE-1760 relay actuator and isolated digital input card is a PC add-on card for the PCI Express bus. It meets the PCI Express standard Rev. 1.0
