PCI-1720U User Manual 2
Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
PCI-1720U is an isolated digital-to-analog output card for the Universal
PCI bus. It provides four 12-bit analog output channels with isolation
protection of 2,500 V DC between the outputs and the PCI bus. This is
ideal for industrial applications where high-voltage protection is required.
Keeping the Output Settings and Values after System Reset
The four outputs can be set independently to different ranges:
0 to +5 V, 0 to +10 V, ±5 V, ±10 V, 0 to 20 mA (sink) or 4 to 20 mA
(sink). When the system is hot reset (the power is not shut off),
PCI-1720U can either retain the last analog output settings and values, or
return to its default configuration based on its jumper setting. This
practical function eliminates danger caused by misoperation during
unexpected system resets.
PCI-bus Plug & Play
The PCI-1720U uses a PCI controller to interface the card to the PCI bus.
The controller fully implements the PCI bus specification Rev 2.1. All
bus relative configurations, such as base address and interrupt assign-
ment, are automatically controlled by software.
