Robust Protection
The PCI-1762 digital input channels feature a robust isolation protec-
tion for industrial, lab and machinery automation applications. It
durably withstands voltage up to 2,500 V
DC
, preventing your host
system from any incidental harms. If connected to an external input
source with surge-protection, the PCI-1762 can offer up to a maximum
of 2,000 V
DC
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection. Even with an
input voltage rising up to 70 V
DC
, the PCI-1762 can still manage to work
properly albeit only for short period of time.
Wide Input Range
The PCI-1762 has a wide range of input voltage from 10 to 50 V
DC
, and
it is suitable for most industrial applications with 12 V
DC
, 24 V
DC
and
48 V
DC
input voltage.
Board ID
The PCI-1762 has a built-in DIP switch that helps define each card’s ID
when multiple PCI-1762 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-1762 cards. With the correct Board ID
settings, the user can easily identify and access each card during
hardware configuration and software programming.
Reset Protection Fulfills Requirement for Industrial Applications
When the system has undergone a hot reset (i.e. without turning off
the system power), the PCI-1762 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.
Plug-and-Play Function
The PCI-1762 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.
