Card effects PCI Bus high speed analogue output
For industrial PCI Bus applications where high-speed, continuous analogue output or real-time waveform functions are required, an advanced analogue output card is effective.
The main enhancement of the system lies in its Universal PCI connector design, which is compatible with both 5 and 3.3 signal voltages, enabling flexibility for use in diverse system integration solutions.
The surge-protected design shields the system from abrupt high voltages up to 2,500 VDC, while the card's high performance makes it suitable for temperature, humidity and air pollution controls in rugged environmental monitoring systems.
Moreover, the PCI-1611U also supports optical isolation to improve signal quality and protect the circuitry of PCs and equipment against damages from ground loops in harsh environments.
To improve the system performance, the PCI-1611U/1612U/1620U communication card comes with 16PCI954 UARTs with a 128-byte FIFO to reduce CPU load, allowing transmission rates up to 921.6 Kbps.
The PCI-1611U/1612U/1620U is available for Windows 95/98/2000/NT/ME/XP and Linux, with full support for drivers.
Besides, Advantech also provides a powerful utility program, ICOM Tools, with easy-to-use analysis tools and utilities, to help test the PCI card performance by analyzing the port status.
Advantech ICOM Tools acts as a PC-based data scope that lets you set a trigger condition, capture the communication data, and monitor the signal status with its easy-to-use menu commands and toolbar buttons.
ICOM Tools is applicable to all series of Advantech ICOM cards. Request a free brochure from Advantech (UK) ...
