DEFINITION OF APPLICATION
1.1
Intended use
The board
APCI-3701
is the interface between an industrial process and a
personal computer (PC).
The board
APCI-3701
must be inserted in a PC with PCI 3.3 V/5V / 32-bit/64-bit
slots, which is used as electrical equipment for measurement, control and
laboratory use as defined in the norm IEC 61010-1.
The PC is to comply with the norm IEC 61326 for measurement, control and
laboratory use and with the specifications for EMC protection.
Products complying with these specifications bear the CE mark.
Data exchange between the
APCI-3701
board and the peripheral is to occur
through a shielded cable. This cable must be connected to the 50-pin SUB-D male
connector of the
APCI-3701
board. The board is fitted with a sinus generator and
has up to 16 analog inputs for connecting up to 16 inductive displacement
transducers exclusively.
The
PX371
screw terminal panel allows the connection of the analog signals with
the ST370 shielded cable.
The use of the board
APCI-3701
in combination with external screw terminal
panels is to occur in a closed switch cabinet.
The installation is to be effected competently.
Check the shielding capacity
of
the PC housing and of the cable prior to putting the device into operation.
The connection with our standard cable
ST3701
complies with the following
specifications:
-
metallized plastic hoods
-
shielded cable
-
cable shield folded back and firmly screwed to the connector housing.
The use of the board according to its intended purpose includes observing all
advises given in this manual and in the safety leaflet.
Uses beyond these specifications are not allowed. The manufacturer is not liable
for any damages which would result from the non-observance of this clause.
