Description

With the length measurement card APCI-3701, you can connect directly and acquire up to 16 half-bridge or LVDT transducers. The calibration software “ConfigTools” guides you through each step of the installation, beginning with the selection of a transducer from a database including more than 50 pre-calibrated transducers up to testing each single channel.

Features

• PCI interface to the 32-bit data bus, 3.3 V or 5 V
• Acquisition of 8 or 16 inductive transducers (half-bridge, LVDT, Knäbel)
• 16-bit resolution
• Sampling rate depending on the transducer: APCI-3701-8/-16: from 2 to 20 kHz
• Measuring frequency programmable through software: Standard version APCI-3701-8/-16: from 2 to 20 kHz (50 kHz on request)
• Conversion triggered through software, digital input or timer
• End of conversion through software and/or interrupt
• PCI-DMA access
• Onboard FIFO
• Sequence RAM
• 16 digital inputs and outputs, optically isolated, 24 V
• Connection of the transducer through an external box PX3701-8 or -16. The box type depends on the transducer, please order separately.
• Software operation
• Automatic setting of the input levels (gain and offset) acc. to the transducer sensitivity
• Tool for the individual calibration of the transducers with transducer database
• Database for connecting/calibrating a large range of
  industry-standard transducers (APCI-3701-8, or -16):
  • Solartron • Tesa • Marposs • Schlumberger
  • Peter & Hirt • Mahr • RDP • Schaevitz
  • SMPR Controle • Knäbel
