1.1 Introduction
Thank you for buying the Advantech PCI-1762 DAS card. The Advantech PCI-1762
DAS card is a 16-ch relay actuator and 16-ch isolated digital input card for the PCI
bus.
Its sixteen on-board SPDT relays are ideal for applications such as device ON/OFF
control or small power switched. For easy monitoring, each relay is equipped with
one red LED to show its ON/OFF status.
The PCI-1762’s sixteen optically-isolated digital input channels are ideal for digital
input in noisy environments or with floating potentials.
1.1.1 PCI-1762 16-ch Isolated Digital Input and 16-ch Relay Output
Card
The following sections of this chapter will provide further information about features
of the DAS cards, a Quick Start for installation, together with some brief information
on software and accessories for the PCI-1762 card.
1.2 Features
16 relay output channels and 16 isolated digital input channels
LED indicators to show activated relays
Jumper selectable Form A/Form B-type relay output channel
Output status read-back
Keep relay output values when hot system reset
High-voltage isolation on input channels (2,500 VDC)
High ESD protection (2,000 VDC)
High over-voltage protection (70 VDC)
Wide input range (10 ~ 50 VDC)
Interrupt handling capability
High-density DB-62 connector
Board ID
The Advantech PCI-1762 offers the following main features:
Robust Protection
The PCI-1762 digital input channels feature a robust isolation protection for industrial, lab and
machinery automation applications. It durably withstands voltage up to 2,500 VDC, preventing
your host system from any incidental harms. If connected to an external input source with
surge-protection, the PCI-1762 can offer up to a maximum of 2,000 VDC ESD (Electrostatic
Discharge) protection. Even with an input voltage rising up to 70 VDC, the PCI-1762 can still
manage to work properly albeit only for short period of time.
Wide Input Range
The PCI-1762 has a wide range of input voltage from 10 to 50 VDC, and it is suitable for most
industrial applications with 12 VDC, 24 VDC and 48 VDC input voltage.
Board ID
The PCI-1762 has a built-in DIP switch that helps define each card’s ID when multi-
ple PCI-1762 cards have been installed on the same PC chassis. The board ID set-
ting function is very useful when users build their system with multiple PCI-1762

Chapter 1 Overview
cards. With the correct Board ID settings, the user can easily identify and access
each card during hardware configuration and software programming.
Reset Protection Fulfills Requirement for Industrial Applications
When the system has undergone a hot reset (i.e. without turning off the system
power), the PCI-1762 can either retain outputs 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.
Plug-and-Play Function
The PCI-1762 is a Plug-and-Play device, which fully complies with PCI Specification
Rev 2.2. During card installation, there is no need to set jumpers or DIP switches.
Instead, all bus-related configurations such as base I/O address and interrupt are
automatically done by the Plug-and-Play function.
1.3 Applications
Industrial On/Off control
Switch status sensing
Digital I/O control
Industrial and lab automation
SMT/PCB machinery
Semi-conductor machinery
PC-based Industrial Machinery
Testing & Measurement
Laboratory & Education
External relay driving
1.4 Installation Guide
Before you install your PCI-1762 card, please make sure you have the following nec-
essary components:
PCI-1762 card
PCI-1762 User's Manual
Driver software - Advantech DLL drivers (included in the companion CD-ROM)
Wiring cable - PCL-10162 (optional)
Wiring board - ADAM-3962 (optional)
PC or workstation with a PCI-bus slot (running Windows XP/Vista/7)
Application software - ActiveDAQ Pro or other 3rd-party software
After you get the necessary components and maybe some of the accessories for
enhanced operation of your Multifunction card, you can then begin the Installation
procedures.

1.5 Software Overview
Advantech offers a rich set of DLL drivers, third-party driver support and application
software to help fully exploit the functions of your PCI-1762 card:
DLL driver (on the companion CD-ROM)
LabVIEW driver
Advantech ActiveDAQ Pro
Programming choices for DA&C cards: You may use Advantech application software
such as Advantech DLL driver. On the other hand, advanced users are allowed
another option for register-level programming, although not recommended due to its
laborious and time-consuming nature.
DLL Driver
The Advantech DLL Drivers software is included on the companion CD-ROM at no
extra charge. It also comes with all the Advantech DA&C cards. Advantech's DLL
driver features a complete I/O function library to help boost your application perfor-
mance. The Advantech DLL driver for Windows XP/Vista/7 works seamlessly with
development tools such as Visual C++, Visual Basic and Visual Studio .Net
