1DEFINITION OF APPLICATION
1.1 Intended use
The board APCI-1710 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.
1.2 Usage restrictions
The board APCI-1710 must not to be used as safety related part for securing
emergency stop functions.
The board APCI-1710 must not be used in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
1.3 General description of the board
Data exchange between the APCI-1710 board and the peripheral is to occur
through a shielded cable. The cable ST370-16 must be connected to the
50-pin SUB-D male connector of the APCI-1710 board
The board has:
1. up to 16 differential inputs for 5 V signal acquisition.
-The inputs (RS422) are intended to be connected to incremental
encoders. They can also be used as TTL inputs.
-24 V version (APCI-1710-24): these inputs can also be used for
processing 24 V signals.
2. up to 12 mass-related inputs which can be operated for any function
provided they are used within the defined limit values.
-Option: these inputs can also be adapted for processing 5 V signals.
3. up to 12 outputs for the emission of 5 V or 24 V signals. (in this case 20
inputs are available on the board.)
-Up to 8 differential outputs (RS422) can be connected to SSI
(Synchronous Serial Interface) encoders.
-The other 4 mass-related outputs can be processed by any function
provided they are used within the defined limit values.
-Option: The 4 mass-related 24 V outputs can also be operated for the
processing of 5 V TTL signals.
The board APCI-1710 consists of 4 “function modules”. Digital inputs and
outputs are allocated to each function module. For each module 8 channels
are available: See block diagram of the inputs and outputs.

Definition of application APCI-1710
10
The channels are apportioned according to the board as follows:
Input channels:
-2 x TTL, RS422 (signals C,D)
-3 x 24 V, 5 V optional (signals E, F, G)
Output channels
-1 x 24 V, TTL optional (signal H)
Free definable channels (inputs and outputs)
- 2 x TTL, RS422, (signals A, B)
24 V version (ACPI-1710-24 V)
7 x 24 V inputs (signals A to G)
1 x 24 V output (signal H)
The use of the board APCI-1710 in combination with external screw
terminal panels or relay boards is to occur in a closed switch cabinet. Check
the shielding capacity of the PC housing and of the cable prior to putting
the device into operation.
The connection with our standard cable ST370-16 complies with the
following specifications:
-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 this manual and in the safety leaflet. Therefore, please
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 is not being conform anymore.
The board must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. The board
must not be exposed to vibrations without any additional keying.
Make sure that the board remains in its protective blister pack until it is used.
Do not remove or change the identification numbers of the board.
If you do, the guarantee expires.
