1.1 Product Overview
This chapter provides an overview of Advantech industrial data acquisition module
for PCIE-1760 — surveying the product lineups, features, drivers, utilities, and acces-
sories. PCIE-1760 are differential digital I/O modules. The function for these models
are isolated digital I/O, TTL I/O, solid-state relay (SSR), and counters.
All of the PCIe modules are capable of use in all kinds of PCIe chassis. Detailed
instructions and functions will be described in the following sections.
Figure 1.1 PCIE-1760
1.2 Product Features
1.2.1 Board ID
A board ID can be assigned to the PCIe chassis by the rotary switch and slot number.
The board ID will be shown in the software and can be used to distinguish modules.
The number shown around the rotary switch shows if the device is in operation or
not. For example, When configured as 0, the board ID is automatically assigned by
the device driver software. When configured as a value other than 0, the configured
value is used. Do not configure the same value (except for 0) for hardware devices
with the same model name. Refer to the device specifications for the configuration of
the board ID.
If changed, a new board ID value takes effect only after a cold reset. The number
assigned to each PCIe module follows a rule combining the ChassisID and slot num-
ber. Refer to section 3.4 for more detailed information.

2.1 Signal Connection and Pin Assignments
2.1.1 Isolated Digital Input Signal Connection
A digital input channel senses the state of the external sensor or switch, and passes
it through a galvanic isolator (opto-coupler) to the internal circuit. This prevents the
internal components and the host devices (e.g. PC) from damaging when such fault
conditions arise. The device supports both wet contact and dry contact configurations
for digital input signal connection, which can be configured by onboard jumpers for
each channel independently.
For wet contact configuration, an external voltage source is applied between the pos-
itive digital input (DI+) terminal and the negative digital input (DI−) terminal through a
switch as shown in Figure 2.1. If the switch is closed, circuit loop is formed among the
external source, the switch, and the opto-coupler. The current flowing on this loop is
sensed by the opto-coupler, and the digital input state is ON. On the other hand, if the
switch is open, no current flows through the opto-coupler, and the digital input state is
OFF. The voltage of the external source must meet the minimum value of ON state as
specified in the device specifications for proper operation.
An external signal source can also be used for a digital input channel. This is shown
in Figure 2.1 and Figure 2.2 for wet and dry contact configuration, respectively. The
signal source toggles between a high level voltage and a low level voltage, which
results in digital input ON and OFF states.
Figure 2.1 Digital input signal connection with wet contact configuration
The input voltage, which is the voltage between the DI+ terminal and the DI− terminal
for wet contact configuration and between the DI− terminal and the DIGND terminal
for dry contact configuration, must be either higher than the minimum value of ON
state or lower than the maximum value of OFF state for a deterministic result. If the
input voltage is between these two values, the result is undetermined, which may be
ON or OFF. In addition, do not input a voltage higher than the maximum allowable
value of ON state or lower than the minimum allowable value of the OFF state, other-

Chapter 2 Installation and Field Applications
wise the device may be damaged under such circumstance. Refer to the device
specifications for ON and OFF state voltage ranges.
Figure 2.2 Digital input signal connection with dry contact configuration
2.1.2 Relay Output Signal Connection
A relay output channel sends a signal to control the ON/OFF state of a relay. Some of
the relays are of Form A (normally open) or Form B (normally closed) type, which is
configured by the onboard jumper for each channel independently, and others are of
Form C (normally open and normally closed) type. All types are described in detail as
follows:
For Form A type, if the relay is in ON state, the common (COM) terminal is con-
nected to the normally open (NO) terminal; on the other hand, if the relay is in
OFF state, the terminals are disconnected from each other.
For Form C type, if the relay is in OFF state, the COM terminal is connected to
the normally NO terminal; on the other hand, if the relay is in ON state, the ter-
minals are disconnected from each other.
For Form C type, if the relay is in ON state, the COM terminal is connected to
the NO terminal, and the normally closed (NC) terminal is disconnected. On the
other hand, if the relay is in OFF state, the COM terminal is connected to the NC
terminal, and the NO terminal is disconnected.
This is shown in Figure 2.3. The default state is OFF state.

PCIE-1760 User Manual 10
Figure 2.3 Relay output signal connection
The relay is a non-directional component, which means that the external source can
be applied in either direction. However, both the load voltage and current must be
within the range as specified in the device specifications for proper operation and to
prevent the device from damage.

2.1.3 Counter Signal Connection
Counter Input Connection:
Please refer to “2.1.1 Isolated Digital Input Signal Connection”.
Counter Output Connection:
The type of counter output signal can be TTL or sink, which is selected by an
onboard jumper.
When configured as TTL type output, the signal is sent through a galvanic isolator
and a logic gate. A voltage logic level is generated between the counter output and
the digital ground (DGND) terminal. This is shown in Figure 2.5.
Figure 2.5 TTL type counter output signal connection
When configured as sink type output, the signal is sent through a galvanic isolator to
control the ON/OFF state of a switch. The state of the switch then decides if the load
is conducting or not. The device supports sink (NPN) type configuration for counter
output signal connection. This is shown in Figure 2.6.
