APCI-7800 Intended purpose of the board
1INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE BOARD
The board APCI-7800 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 defined 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.
The board APCI-7800 provides the personal computer (PC) with 8-port
asynchronous serial interface for the communication with external devices.
The operating mode of the interface depends on the SI modules installed.
The board is to be connected to the peripheral through a shielded cable,
which shielding should be grounded on both ends.
Minimum specifications of the connection cable:
- metallized plastic hoods
- shielded cable
- cable shield folded back and firmly screwed to the connector housing.
The board supports serial communication through 8 asynchronous serial
ports. The intended purpose of the board depends on the following
parameters (See Table 1-1).

APCI-7800 Intended purpose of the board
1.1 Limits of use
If the basic board is used with optically isolated modules and non isolated
modules, then the safety built by the creeping distance of 3.2 mm is not
ensured for the non isolated modules.
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.
Check the shielding capacity of the PC housing and cable prior to putting
the device into operation.
The use of the board according to its intended purpose includes observing
all advises given in this manual and in the safety leaflet.
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.
Make sure that the board remains in the protective blister pack
until it is used.
Do not remove or alter the identification numbers of the board.
If you do, the guarantee expires.
For all operating modes, the signal lines are to be twisted in pairs with
GND. Use exclusively connection cable with twisted pairs.
The housing of the peripheral connector
-is to be firmly screwed together with the shield of the cable.
-is to assure a low-resistance connection (< 100 mΩ) between the shield
and the housing of the PC.
The shield of the cable is to be earthed on both ends.
The APCI-7800 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-7800 in sites lying under risk of
explosion is excluded.
Make sure that the board remains in its protective blister pack until it is used.
Do not remove or alter the identification numbers of the board.
If you do, the guarantee expires.

The basic board has a transfer rate of max. 115.2 kBd in its standard
delivery (with standard quartz). If you wish to transmit at 1MBaud, then the
basic board has to be configured again in our house.
1MBd configuration: Please consider that the divider factors for
programming the transfer rate do not comply with the PC standard anymore.
The 1M Bd transfer rate can only be programmed with the device drivers
delivered with the board.
RS 485: transfer at 1 MBaud only works when the transmitter is controlled
through DTR, RTS or data bit.
