any incidental harms. If connected to an external input source with surge-
protection, the PCI-1761 can offer up to a maximum of 2,000 V
DC
ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge) protection. Even with an input voltage rising up
to 70 V
DC
, the PCI-1761 can still manage to work properly albeit only for
short period of time.
Wide Input Range
The PCI-1761 has a wide range of input voltage from 10 to 50 V
DC
, and
it is suitable for most industrial applications with 12 V
DC
, 24 V
DC
and 48
V

input voltage.
Reset Protection Fulfills Requirement for Industrial Applications
When the system has undergone a hot reset (i.e. without turning off the
system power), the PCI-1761 can either retain outputs values of each
channel, or return to its default configuration as open status, depending
on its on-board jumper setting. This function protects the system from
wrong operations during unexpected system resets.
Plug-and-Play Function
The PCI-1761 is a Plug-and-Play device, which fully complies with PCI
Specification Rev 2.2. During card installation, there is no need to set
jumpers or DIP switches. Instead, all bus-related configurations such as
base I/O address and interrupt are automatically done by the Plug-and-
Play function.
Board ID
The PCI-1761 has a built-in DIP Switch that helps define each card's ID
when multiple PCI-1761 cards have been installed on the same PC chas-
sis. The board ID setting function is very useful when users build their
system with multiple PCI-1761 cards. With correct Board ID settings,
you can easily identify and access each card during hardware configura-
tion and software programming.
