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 the PC chassis
before manual handling. Do not touch any components on the system board,
CPU, or adapter cards while the PC is powered on.
Disconnect all power before making any configuration changes. The sudden
rush of power after connecting a jumper or installing a card may damage sensi-
tive electronic components.
Prevent electrostatic discharge by wearing a grounding strap at all times and
storing the equipment in an anti-static bag until installation.
Warning! Warnings indicate conditions that if not observed can cause personal
injury!
Caution! Cautions are included to help you avoid damaging hardware or losing
data. For example,
“Batteries are at risk of exploding if incorrectly installed. Do not attempt
to recharge, force open, or heat the battery. Replace the battery only
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.”

1Overview

PCIE-1730/1730H User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
Advantech’s PCIE-1730 series are 32-channel isolated digital I/O cards that support
PCI Express bus. The provision of isolated digital input channels make these cards
ideal for environments with noise or floating potentials.
The following sections of this chapter provide information regarding the features,
installation process, and relevant software and accessories for the PCIE-1730 series
cards.
1.2 Features
PCIE-1730/1730H
32 isolated DI/O channels
32 TTL DI/O channels
High output driving capacity with 500 mA per channel (maximum)
High-voltage isolation on isolated I/O channels (2,500 VDC)
Interrupt handling capability for all DI and IDI channels (PCIE-1730 only sup-
ports interrupt signals on 4 channels)
Two 20-pin connectors for isolated DI/O channels and two 20-pin connectors for
TTL DI/O channels
D-type connector for isolated input and output channels
High ESD protection (2,000 VDC)
High over-voltage protection (70 VDC)
Wide input range (10 ~ 30 VDC)
Board ID to identify specific cards when multiple devices are installed
16 isolated and TTL digital input channels with digital filter (PCIE-1750H only)
Robust Protection
The PCIE-1730 series cards’ digital input channels feature robust isolation protection
for industrial, laboratory, and automation applications. The channels can withstand
voltages of up to 2,500 VDC, thereby minimizing the risk of accidental damage to the
system components. If connected to an external input source with surge protection,
PCIE-1730 cards can offer up to a maximum of 2,000 VDC ESD protection. Even with
an input voltage of 70 VDC, the PCIE-1730 series cards can still function, albeit only
for a short period of time.
Wide Input Range
The PCIE-1730 series cards support a wide input voltage range of 10 ~ 30 VDC, mak-
ing them suitable for most industrial applications that require a 12 VDC or 24 VDC
input voltage.
Plug-and-Play Functionality
PCIE-1730 cards feature plug-and-play functionality and comply with PCI Express
Specifications, Revision 1.0. The benefit of this is that there is no need to set jumpers
or DIP switches during card installation. Instead, all bus-related settings, such as the
base I/O address and interrupt signaling, are automatically configured because of the
plug-and-play functionality, greatly streamlining installation.

3 PCIE-1730/1730H User Manual
Chapter 1 Overview
Board ID
The PCIE-1730 series card are equipped with a built-in DIP switch for setting a Board
ID for each card when multiple cards are installed on the same PC chassis. This
allows users to easily identify and access each card during hardware configuration
and software programming.
Reset Protection
After a hot reset (i.e., when the system is restarted with interrupting the power), the
PCIE-1730 series card can either retain the output values of each channel, or return
to the default configuration of open status depending on the on-board jumper set-
tings. This function protects the system from incorrect operations during unexpected
system resets.
1.3 Software Overview
Advantech offers device drivers, software development kits, third-party driver sup-
port, and application software that enable customers to fully exploit the functions of
the PCIE-1730 series card. These software packages are provided on the accompa-
nying CD-ROM and available for download from the Advantech website (http://
www.advantech.com).
1.4 Accessories
The PCIE-1730 series cards can be combined with a range of optional accessories
for enhanced operation.
Wiring Cable
Advantech’s PCL-10137 shielded cable is specially designed for PCIE-1730 series
cards and provides high noise resistance. For enhanced signal quality, the signal
wires are twisted into twisted-pair cables, reducing cross-talk and noise from other
signal sources. Furthermore, the digital lines are separately sheathed and shielded to
neutralize EMI/EMC problems.
Wiring Boards
Advantech’s ADAM-3937 is a 37-pin D-type wiring terminal module for DIN-rail
mounting. This terminal module can be connected to Advantech DAQ cards and pro-
vides easy access to individual pin connections for the PCIE-1730 series.
The PCLD-880 is a universal screw terminal board that can be integrated with any
Advantech DAQ card that features a 37-pin D-type connector.
Note! For detailed specifications of the PCIE-1730 series, refer to Appendix A,
Specifications.

This chapter provides unpacking instructions, an item checklist, and step-by-step
procedures for driver and card installation.
2.1 Unpacking Instructions
Upon receiving your product, please check the contents to ensure that the following
items have been included:
1 x PCIE-1730 series card
1 x Accompanying CD-ROM
1 x PCIE-1730 series user manual
The PCIE-1730 series cards contain electronic components and integrated circuits
that are vulnerable to ESD. Before removing the card from the anti-static bag, take
the following precautions to prevent potential ESD damage:
Touch any metal part of the computer chassis with your hand to discharge any
static electricity accumulated in your body. Alternatively wear a grounding strap
at all times.
Touch the anti-static bag to a metal part of the computer chassis before opening
and removing components.
When removing the card from the anti-static bag, hold the card by the metal
bracket only.
After retrieving the card, first inspect the card for any external signs of damage (loose
or damaged components etc.). If the card is visibly damaged, please notify the
Advantech service department or your local sales representative immediately. Do not
install a damaged card in your system.
Users should also pay extra attention to the following advice to ensure proper instal-
lation:
Avoid physical contact with materials that may hold static electricity, such as
plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam.
When handling the card, hold it only by its edges. Do not touch the exposed
metal pins of the connector or the electronic components.
Note! Retain the anti-static bag for future use. The bag may be needed to
store the card during hardware upgrades or when moving the PC to
another location.
