November 2004
PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Addi-Data is offering two new TTL boards for the PCI bus that can be used for controlling and monitoring tasks in 3,3 V and 5 V systems.
The PCI boards APCI-1648 and APCI-1696 are equipped with a 74HCT component and have 48 or 96 TTL I/O channels in 6/12 groups of 8-bit ports. All ports are protected against over voltage. The groups of channels can be set either as inputs or outputs. The driver component supports up to 15 TTL loads. The 12-bit onboard timer allows the synchronisation of the control processes. A 50-pin SUB-D connector suitable for the industry ensures the connection of the board to the periphery.
Addi-Data develops and sells PC measurement boards and embedded solutions for industrial measurement and automation. The German company was founded in 1984 and is certified according to the ISO 9001 norm since 2000. The product range includes numerous measuring boards: digital I/O, 24 V or 0-60 V (42 V), multifunction boards and A/D D/A converting boards, boards for the acquisition of transducers, thermocouples/Pt100 and sensors for the acquisition of strain gauges, 1 to 8-port serial interfaces, multifunction counting boards and motion-control boards.
The ADDI-DATA product range includes embedded systems that are based on PCI bus and RTAI Linux. All products are available with accessories (cable, screw terminal or connection boards) as well as free drivers.
