Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-
lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous test-

Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware
and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any
onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return
merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows
us to process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-
ranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Description
PCI-1680U is special purpose communication card that offers connectiv-
ity to Controller Area Networks (CAN) on your PC. With its built-in
CAN controllers, the PCI-1680U provides bus arbitration and error detec-
tion with an automatic transmission repetition function. This drastically
reduces the chance of data loss and ensures system reliability. You can
run both CAN controllers independently at the same time. The PCI-
1680U operates at baud rates up to 1 Mbps and can be installed in a PC
expansion slot.
1.1.1 Controller Area Network
The CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial bus system especially
suited for networking "intelligent" I/O devices as well as sensors and
actuators within a machine or plant. Characterized by its multi-master
protocol, real-time capability, error correction, high noise immunity, and
the existence of many different silicon components, the CAN serial bus
system, originally developed by Bosch for use in automobiles, is increas-
ingly being used in industrial automation.
1.1.2 Universal PCI
PCI-1680U provides truly universal connectivity, enabling a single prod-
uct to be used to implement systems with dramatically different resource
requirements. This makes PCI-1680U the most robust, most flexible, and
most economical choice for any application requiring isolation. PCI-
1680U uses a universal PCI connector compatible with both new 3.3 V
signaling support required for plug-in boards by the PCI 2.2 specification
and the 5 V signaling still used by many systems.
1.1.3 Optical Isolation Protection
On-board optical isolators protect your PC and equipment against dam-
age from ground loops, increasing system reliability in harsh environ-
ments.
