Description
The APCI-3120 is a 16-bit multifunction board for 3.3V and 5V PCI systems, with optical isolation and a high throughput rate of 100 kHz. The PCI board has additional types of conversion: Sequence RAM, Auto Refresh, scan, timer or external event.
Furthermore, the board has a PCI DMA, 2 watchdogs, 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs. Sensors, which allow to supply current signals instead of voltage signals, also can be acquired with the APCI-3120, as this board offers up to 16 current inputs. The board is protected against overvoltage and input filters and it is protected against high frequency emission. With the free calibration tool you can do the fine adjustment on-site.
