Advantech PCIE-1824/L 16-bit 32/16-ch Analog Output PCI Express Card

Product Overview

The Advantech PCIE-1824/L is a high-density, multi-channel analog output card designed for the PCI Express bus. Each channel is equipped with a 16-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), making it an ideal solution for industrial automation and control applications requiring multiple analog signals.

Key Features

• 32 or 16 high-density analog output channels.
• Flexible output ranges including ±10 V, 0 to 20 mA, and 4 to 20 mA (sink).
• Synchronized output functionality for precise control.
• Maintains output values during a hot system reset.
• High ESD protection up to 2,000 VDC.
• Integrated Board ID switch for easy identification in multi-card systems.

Installation and Usage

The card is designed for standard PCI Express slots. Ensure the system is powered down before installation. Use the appropriate DB62 shielded cables and wiring boards (such as the ADAM-3962-AE) to connect field devices. Note that for voltage output, a load resistance greater than 1 MΩ is recommended to maintain specified accuracy; lower resistance may cause voltage drops due to cable and wiring impedance.

Maintenance and Safety

The device is designed for industrial environments. Ensure proper ventilation to maintain operating temperatures between 0 and 60°C. The card features high ESD protection, but standard anti-static handling procedures should be followed during installation. In case of performance issues, verify the integrity of the DB62 cable connections and ensure the external power supply for current output does not exceed 30 V.
