INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE BOARD
The
APCI-/CPCI-1500
board is the interface between an industrial process and a
personal computer (PC). It is to be used in a free PCI slot.
The PC is to comply with the EU directive 89/336/EEC and the specifications for
EMC protection.
Products complying with these specifications bear the
mark.
Data exchange between the
APCI-/CPCI-1500
board and the peripheral is to
occur through a shielded cable. It has to be connected to the 37-pin SUB-D male
connector of the
APCI-/CPCI-1500
board.
The board has 16 input channels and 16 output channels for processing digital
24 V signals.
An external 24 V supply voltage is necessary to run the output channels.
The
PX 901
screw terminal board and the
PX 8500
relay board allow to connect
the 24 V supply voltage through a shielded cable.
The use of the
APCI-/CPCI-1500
board in combination with external screw
terminal or relay boards 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 ST010 complies with the specifications:
- metallized plastic hoods
- shielded cable
- cable shield folded back and firmly screwed to the connector housing.
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.
The use of the board according to its intended purpose includes observing all
advises given in this manual and in the safety leaflet.
1.1
Limits of use
The use of the board in a PC could change the PC features regarding noise
emission and immunity. Increased noise emission or decreased noise immunity
could result in the system not being conform anymore.
Our boards are not to be used for securing emergency stop functions.
The emergency stop functions are to be secured separately.
This securing must not be influenced by the board or the PC.
Make sure that the board remains in the protective blister pack
until it is used
.
Do not remove or alter the identification numbers of the board. If you do, the
guarantee expires.
