IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
It is very important for the user to consider the possible adverse
effects of power, wiring, component, sensor, or software failures
in designing any type of control or monitoring system. This is
especially important where economic property loss or human life
is involved. It is important that the user employ satisfactory
overall system design. It is agreed between the Buyer and
Acromag, that this is the Buyer's responsibility.
Trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) Series PMC341 (14-bit)
module is a precision, single size PMC module with simultaneous
sampling of analog input signals. Sixteen differential analog input
channels are provided with an input range of
10 volts.
The 16 differential analog voltage input channels are
converted as two banks of eight channels. After the first bank of
eight channels are simultaneously converted, the second bank of
8 channels can then be simultaneously converted at the time
specified in a user programmable delay counter.
All 16-channels share two generous 512-sample memory
buffers, from which digitized values are read. Since all channels
share the same memory buffer, data tagging is implemented for
easy identification of corresponding channel data. To minimize
CPU interaction, interrupt generation is also supported upon
reaching a programmable memory full threshold condition.
The PMC341 utilizes state of the art Surface-Mounted
Technology (SMT) to achieve its wide functionality and is an ideal
choice for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications
that require, high-performance analog inputs.
