APCI-3701

The PCI length measurement board APCI-3701 is designed for the acquisition of 16/8 inductive transducers (Half-Bridge, LVDT, Knäbel) with a 16-bit resolution. Furthermore, it has 16 digital inputs and outputs, optically isolated. The software ConfigTools included in delivery has a database for connecting/calibrating a large range of industry-standard transducers, such as Solartron, Tesa, Marposs, Schlumberger, Peter & Hirt, Mahr, RDP, Schaevitz, SMPR contrôle etc. The board is suited for dynamic measurement, e.g. for measuring moving parts or applications with time-critical measurement cycles – especially in test equipment with several sensors.

Description

With the length measurement board 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.
