Robust Protection
The PCIE-1730 series card digital input channels feature robust isolation protection for industrial, laboratory, and automation applications. The channels can withstand voltages of up to 2,500 VDC, thereby minimizing the risk of accidental damage to the system components. If connected to an external input source with surge protection, PCIE-1730 cards can offer up to a maximum of 2,000 VDC ESD protection. Even with an input voltage of 70 VDC, the PCIE-1730 series cards can still function, albeit only for a short period of time.

Wide Input Range
The PCIE-1730 series cards support a wide input voltage range of 10 ~ 30 VDC, making them suitable for most industrial applications that require a 12 VDC or 24 VDC input voltage.

Plug-and-Play Functionality
PCIE-1730 cards feature plug-and-play functionality and comply with PCI Express Specifications, Revision 1.0. The benefit of this is that there is no need to set jumpers or DIP switches during card installation. Instead, all bus-related settings, such as the base I/O address and interrupt signaling, are automatically configured because of the plug-and-play functionality, greatly streamlining installation.

Board ID
The PCIE-1730 series cards are equipped with a built-in DIP switch for setting a Board ID for each card when multiple cards are installed on the same PC chassis. This allows users to easily identify and access each card during hardware configuration and software programming.

Reset Protection
After a hot reset (i.e., when the system is restarted by interrupting the power), the PCIE-1730 series card can either retain the output values of each channel, or return to the default configuration of open status depending on the on-board jumper settings. This function protects the system from incorrect operations during unexpected system resets.

Note! For detailed specifications of the PCIE-1730 series, refer to Appendix A, Specifications.

Isolated Digital Input
Each isolated digital input channel accepts bi-directional 10~30V voltage inputs, which means that a user can apply positive or negative voltage to any input pin. Every eight input channels share one common external. (Channels 0 ~ 7 use ECOM0. Channels 8 ~ 15 use ECOM1.) Figure 3.4 shows how to connect an external input source to the card’s isolated inputs.

Figure 3.4 Isolated DI Connection

Isolated Digital Output
If the external voltage source (5 ~ 40 V) is connected to each isolated output channel (IDO) and its isolated digital output turns on (500 mA max./channel), the card’s current will sink from the external voltage source. CN5 provides two EGND pins for IDO connection. Figure 3.5 shows how to connect an external output load to the card’s isolated outputs.
