Description
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.
