APCI-3504 Intended purpose of the board
1INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE BOARD
The board APCI-3504 is the interface between an industrial process and a
personal computer (PC).
The board APCI-3504 must be inserted in a PC with PCI 5V/32-bit slots,
which is used as electrical equipment for measurement, control and
laboratory use as definedn in the norm IEC 61010-1.
The PC is to comply with the norm IEC61326 for measurement, control and
laboratory use and with the specifications for EMC protection.
Products complying with these specifications bear the CE mark.
Data exchange between the APCI-3504 board and the peripheral is to occur
through a shielded cable. This cable must be connected to the 15-pin SUB-D
female connector of the APCI-3504 board.
The board has up to 4 input channels in voltage or current version for
processing analog signals.
An external 24 V supply voltage is necessary to run the output channels.
The PX 9200 screw terminal board allows to connect the external voltage
supply signals through the ST3122-A cable.
The use of the APCI-3504 board in combination with external screw
terminal or relay boards is to occur in a closed switch cabinet; the
installation is to be effected competently.
The connection with our standard cable ST3122-A complies with the
minimum specifications as follows:
-metallized plastic hoods
-shielded cable
-cable shield folded back and firmly screwed to the connector housing.
Uses beyond these specifications are not allowed. The manufacturer is not liable
for any damages which would result from the non-observance of this clause.
The use of the board according to its intended purpose includes observing
all advises given in the Technical description and in the Safety leaflet.

Intended purpose of the board APCI-3504
1.1 Limits of use
The use of the board in a PC could change the PC features regarding noise
emission and immunity. Increased noise emission or decreased noise
immunity could result in the system not being conform anymore.
The APCI-3504 board is not to be used as safety related part for
securing emergency stop functions.
The emergency stop functions are to be secured separately.
This securing must not be influenced by the board or the PC.
The installation of the board APCI-3504 in sites lying under risk of
explosion is excluded.
Make sure that the board remains in its protective packing until it is used.
Do not remove or alter the identification numbers of the board.
If you do, the guarantee expires.

Software APCI-3504
6SOFTWARE
In this chapter you will find a description of the delivered software and its
possible applications.
i IMPORTANT!
Further information for installing and uninstalling the different
drivers is to be found in the delivered description
"Installation instructions for the PCI bus".
A link to the corresponding PDF file is available in the navigation pane
(Bookmarks) of Acrobat Reader.
i IMPORTANT!
The supported software functions for the APCI-3504 are listed
in chapter 9.
The board is supplied with a driver CD-ROM (CD 1) containing the
ADDIPACK software package for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows
XP/2000/98.
ADDIPACK is composed of following programs:
-ADDIREG: The ADDIREG registration program is a 32-bit program for
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP/2000/98. The user can register all
hardware information necessary to operate the ADDI-DATA PC boards.
-ADDIDRIVER contains API functions to operate the ADDI-DATA
boards in 32 bits.
-ADDevice Manager configures the resources of the ADDI-DATA
virtual board (See below).
-ADDI-DATA virtual board:
ADDI-DATA software is based on the principle of a virtual board: it
transposes the different functions (e.g. digital inputs, analog outputs,
timer, ...) of all inserted ADDI-DATA boards as the functions of a single
(virtual) board. The virtual board features a pool of functions, the
functionality of which can be called up without calling a specific board.
-ADDEVICE MAPPER was specifically developed for the ADDIPACK
boards to facilitate the management of the virtual board. With this
program you can optimally adapt the virtual board to your application
requirements.
IMPORTANT!
For some functions of the ADDEVICE MAPPER program the browser
Internet Explorer 6 or higher has to be installed on your PC.

APCI-3504 Software
6.1 Board registration
When starting the set-up of ADDIREG, the APCI-3504 is automatically
recognised and registered.
6.1.1 Installation of a new board
If a new board is recognised, the following windows is displayed:
Fig. 6-1: New inserted board (Example)
The boards which have been removed from the PC since the last ADDIREG
start are listed in the upper table
The new inserted boards are listed in the lower table.
In case further information is required for the operation of the board, click
on "More Information". ADDevice Manager is started.

Software APCI-3504
ADDevice Manager
Fig. 6-2: ADDevice Manager (Example)
The following parameters are displayed for every inserted board:
First column:
-Board name
-Board index: Number allocated to the board when it is registered in
ADDIREG.
-Slot number
-IRQ line
-Different addresses which are automatically allocated to the board by the
BIOS.
Other columns:
The program distinguishes between the resources (Analog/digital
input/output, watchdog, ...) of the virtual board (V, software) and the real
board (R, board).
The following parameters are listed
-Module number,
-Number of resources
-Index: The first index line represents the number of the first resource
(left: virtual resource - right: real board) The second index line represents
the number of the last resource (left: virtual resource - right: real board).
-Type (24 V/5 V, voltage/current, HS/OC - High-Side/Open collector).
-IRQ: if the input/output channels are interruptible, the program displays
the number of the first and of the last input/output channel
