Description

The PCI length measurement board APCI-3702 is designed for the simultaneous acquisition of 5 half-bridge or LVDT transducers. It operates with a 16-bit resolution.
It 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. The calibration tool SET3701 includes a data base with pre-calibrated transducers. It guides you through each step of the installation beginning with the selection of a transducer up to testing the channels.

Features

• PCI interface to the 32-bit data bus, 3.3 V or 5 V
• Acquisition of 5 inductive transducers (half-bridge, LVDT)
• 16-bit resolution
• Sampling rate depending on the transducer: 2-20 kHz
• Example for TESA transducers GT21: 13.951 kHz per channel, 0.072 ms for one sequence of up to 5 channels
• Measuring frequency through software programmable: 2-20 kHz
• 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 external box PX3701-8. The box type depends on the transducers used.
  Please order separately.
• Software operation
• Automatic setting of the input levels (gain and offset) according to the transducer sensitivity
• Tool for individual database-managed calibration of the transducers
• Database for connecting/calibrating a large range of industry-standard transducers:
  • Solartron • Tesa • Marposs • Schlumberger
  • Peter & Hirt • Mahr • RDP • Schaevitz
