APCI-1710 Multifunction Counter Board

Quick Overview

The APCI-1710 is a Multi-Function Programmable Counter Board, The APCI-1710 has 20 optically isolated channels for digital inputs, 4 digital power outputs and 8 programmable as digital input or digital outputs. The APCI-1710 is suited for applications like event counting, position acquisition, motion control, batch counting etc. in the harsh industrial environment. 4 programmable function modules, that can individually configured for each channel with one of the available functions: incremental counter, SSI synchronous serial interface, counter/timer, pulse acquisition, frequency/pulse width/period duration/velocity measurement, PWM, digital inputs and outputs. 64-bit drivers for Windows and Linux as well as programming samples are included, real-time drivers for Windows and Linux are available on request.

Details

With the PCI multi-function counter board APCI-1710 many different applications can be realised on the same hardware base. Each of the four onboard modules has numerous functionalities.

Thanks to the FPGA board structure, any functions can be combined and modified according to the application. This programability allows to integrate customer-specific requirements and can be extended permanently.

The inputs and outputs are optically isolated, which allows signal conditioning without feedback and protects the system against hazardous environmental noise.

Counter board for length measurement

The APCI-1710 can also be used for the acquisition of incremental transducers (RS422, TTL, 24 V) for material or parts testing, size for process control.

Upgrade from PCI to PCI Express

The PCI Express boards are functionally compatible with the related PCI boards. PCI Express boards include new technologies and will improve the performance of your installation. PCIe boards include all the standard functions and options of related PCI board and are fully compatible with existing cables, terminals and a PCIe migration driver programming service is available to assist the changeover from an existing PCI system.

Benefit from the new technologies and the new efficient FPGA components that have been added to the PCI Express boards. The FPGA technology allows for shorter cycle times and the PCI Express boards include FPGA components to reduce the cycle time of signal acquisition and regulation tasks. Use the full hardware and software capacity of your board and accelerate your processes.

PCI Express boards come with useful software tools for a fast and convenient integration into your application: The ingenious driver concept, ADDIPACK, includes a wide range of drivers and samples, and a configuration tool assist you from the beginning. The PCIe migration driver programming service is also available to assist the changeover.

The APCI-1710 can be replaced with the APCIe-1711 PCI Express board.
