Insertion and installation of the board APCI-3003
3Insertion and installation of the board
3.1 Insertion of the APCI board
Risk of injury!
Please follow the safety precautions! An improper handling of the
board may cause property damage and injury.
3.1.1 Opening the PC
Switch off the PC and all the units connected to it.
Pull the PC mains plug from the socket.
Open the PC as described in the manual of the PC manufacturer.
3.1.2 Selecting a slot
Select a free 32-/64-bit PCI slot (5 V or 3.3 V) for the board.
Fig. 3-1: PCI slot types
Unscrew the back cover from the selected slot. For this, follow the operating instructions provided
by the PC manufacturer!
Keep the back cover in a safe place. You will need it if you remove the board.

3.1.3 Inserting the board
Insert the board vertically from above into the selected slot.
Fig. 3-2: Slot: Insert the board
Fasten the board to the rear of the PC housing using the screw which held the back cover in place.
Fig. 3-3: PC housing: Fasten the board
Tighten all loose screws.
3.1.4 Closing the PC
Close the PC as described in the manual of the PC manufacturer.

Insertion and installation of the board APCI-3003
3.2 Connecting the accessories
3.2.1 Connection of the screw terminal panels
The APCI-3003 board receives analog signals from the peripherals via the screw terminal panel
PX901-AG und the cable ST3003-A, which needs to be connected to the 15-pin D-Sub male connector
of the board.
Between the board and the peripherals, digital signals are exchanged via the screw terminal panel
PX901-ZG and the cable ST3003-D, which needs to be connected to the 15-pin D-Sub female
connector of the board.
In terms of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), the cables have the following properties:
•Metallised connector housing
•Shielded cable
•Cable shield folded back over insulation and firmly screwed on both sides to the connector
housing.

3.2.3 Connection principle
Fig. 3-9: Connection principle
With the PC-Diff option (see Chapter 7.4), the board has to be placed at the end of the current loop so
that the voltage (Umax GND) at the differential input pin is 12 V max. relating to GND.

3.2.4 Connection examples
1) Analog inputs
Fig. 3-11: Connection example (differential inputs)
* Optional connection if there is no GND connection available at the signal source
NOTICE!
Due to the very high impedance of the analog inputs, the measurement
result is undefined, i.e. variable at inputs that are not connected (open).
To minimise interfering factors, all the inputs that are not required
should be connected with “Analog signal GND” (see pin assignment).

NOTICE!
Please note that an external voltage source is required for the
digital outputs (see Chapter 7.5.3).
3.3 Driver installation
Information on how to select and download the appropriate driver can be found in the document
“Quick installation PC boards” (see PDF link).
The installation of drivers of the type “ADDI-DATA Multiarchitecture Device Drivers 32-/64-Bit for
x86/AMD64” as well as the installation of the corresponding samples is described in the installation
instructions (see PDF link).

Function description APCI-3003
4Function description
4.1 Analog inputs
Up to 4 differential signals can be connected to the APCI-3003 board.
Each channel has its own A/D converter. A high throughput rate (400 kHz per channel) can be reached
by a simultaneous conversion of all four channels.
The four analog modules are always started simultaneously. Only the configured channels are written
in the read registers provided for this purpose (FIFO, AUTOREFRESH RAM).
Besides the software trigger, the analog acquisition can also be started via the hardware trigger, i.e. by
a signal change from 0 V to 24 V at the digital input 0 (see Chapter 4.1.3).
4.1.1 Voltage ranges
The analog input range (0-10 V, ± 10 V, 0-5 V, ±5 V, 0-2 V, ± 2 V, 0-1 V, ± 1 V or optional 0-20 mA) and
the gain can be selected through software for each channel. This enables different voltages
(or currents) with the channels so that the resolution of the A/D converter can be used to full capacity.
NOTICE!
Please note that a longer settling time of the measurement chain
has to be reckoned with when switching the voltage range from
unipolar to bipolar or vice versa.

4.1.2 Analog input circuit
The input impedance (1012 Ω|| 5 nF) corresponds to the input resistance of the PGA (1012 Ω) and the
capacities switched to it in parallel (C1and C2).

4.1.3 Input modes of the analog inputs
For analog input, four differential channels are available on the APCI-3003 board. The acquisition can
be carried out in the following modes:
1) Simple mode
2) Scan mode
3) Sequence mode (with DMA function)
4) Auto-refresh mode.
