Robust Protection
The PCI-1752U/PCI-1752USO features a robust isolation protection for
applications in industrial, lab and machinery automation. The PCI-
1752U/ USO can durably withstand a voltage up to 2,500 VDC, prevent-
ing your host system from any incidental harms.

3 Chapter1
Wide Output Range
The PCI-1752U/1752USO also features a wide output voltage range from
5 to 40 VDC, suitable for most industrial applications with 12 VDC / 24
VDC output voltage. In the mean time, we are also ready to serve your
special needs for specific input/output voltage range. Do not hesitate to
ask us about tailoring our standard products to meet your specifications.
All these merits make PCI-1752U/ USO the best choice for industrial
applications.
Board ID Setting
The PCI-1752U/ USO has a built-in DIP switch that helps define each
card’s ID when multiple cards have been installed on the same PC chas-
sis. The board ID setting function is very useful when users build their
system with multiple PCI-1752U/ USO cards. With correct Board ID set-
tings, you can easily identify and access each card during hardware con-
figuration and software programming.
Channel-Freeze Function
The PCI-1752U/1752USO provides Channel-Freeze function, which can
be enabled either in dry contact or wet contact mode (selectable by the
on-board jumper). When the Channel-Freeze function is enabled, the last
status of each digital output channel will be safely kept for emergency
use. Moreover, you can enable this function through software as it is use-
ful in software simulation and testing program.

5 Chapter1
Reset Protection
When the system has undergone a hot reset (i.e. without turning off the
system power), the PCI-1752/1756 can either retain outputs values of
each channel, or return to its default configuration as open status, depend-
ing on its on-board jumper setting. This function protects the system from
wrong operations during unexpected system resets.
