Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis
before you work on it. Don't touch any internal components, the CPU, or any
adapter cards while the PC is on.
Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush
of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec-
tronic components.

1.1 Introduction
Thank you for buying the Advantech PCIE-1756H, which is a 32/32-ch isolated digital
input/output card. It is an advanced-performance data acquisition card based on PCI
Express bus architecture. It features a unique circuit design and complete functions
for data acquisition and control. The following sections of this chapter will provide fur-
ther information about features of PCIE-1756H, a Quick Start for installation, together
with some brief information on software and accessories.
1.2 Features
32-ch isolated DI/O (16-ch digital input w/ Digital filter, 16-ch digital output)
Wide input range (10 ~ 30 VDC)
Either +/- voltage input for IDI by group
Wide output range (5 ~ 40 VDC)
High sink current on isolated output channels (500 mA max./ch)
High over-voltage protection (70 VDC)
High-voltage isolation (2,500 VDC)
2,000 VDC ESD protection
Output status read-out
Keeps output settings and values after system hot reset
Interrupt handling capability for IDI channels
Channel-freeze function
Board ID
PCIE-1756H provides the following benefits:
Robust Protection
The PCIE-1756H features a robust isolation protection for applications in industry, lab
and machine automation. The PCIE-1756H can durably withstand a voltage up to
2,500 VDC, preventing your host system from harm.
Wide Input Range
The PCIE-1756H accepts a wide range of input voltage, from 10 to 30 VDC, and it is
suitable for most industrial applications with 12 VDC and 24 VDC input voltage. We
are also ready to serve your special needs for specific input voltage ranges. Do not
hesitate to ask us about tailoring our standard products to meet your specifications.
Wide Output Range
The PCIE-1756H also features a wide output voltage range from 5 to 40 VDC, suit-
able for most industrial applications with 12 VDC/24 VDC output voltage. Similarly to
the input voltage offer above, we are ready to serve your special needs for specific
output voltage range. Do not hesitate to ask us about tailoring our standard products
to meet your specifications.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Board ID Setting
The PCIE-1756H has a built-in DIP switch that defines each card’s ID when multiple
cards have been installed in the same PC chassis. The board ID setting function is
very useful when users build systems with multiple PCIE-1756H cards. With correct
Board ID settings, you can easily identify and access each card during hardware con-
figuration and software programming.
Channel-Freeze Function
The PCIE-1756H 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 useful in software simulation and testing programs.
Reset Protection
When the system has undergone a hot reset (i.e., without turning off the system
power), the PCIE-1756H can either retain output values of each channel, or return to
its default configuration as open status, depending on its on-board jumper setting.
This function protects the system from wrong operations during unexpected system
resets.
All these merits make PCIE-1756H an excellent choice for industrial applications.
1.3 Applications
Industrial ON/OFF control
Switch status sensing
BCD interfacing
Digital I/O control
Industrial and lab automation
Note! For detailed specifications of the PCIE-1756H, please refer to Appendix
A.
