Fig. 8-1: Block diagram: APCI-3010 and APCI-3016 Fig. 8-2: Block diagram: APCI-3110 and APCI-3116 Analog inputs There are 16 analog input channels on the boards – the resolution of the APCI-3010 and APCI-3110 is 12-bit and of the APCI-3016 and APCI-3116 16-bit.
After the signals are transferred over a filter (RC-component) to a multiplexer (time multiplexed system), they are lead over a programmable instrumental gain to a 16-bit A/D converter (or 12-bit for APCI-3010 and APCI-3110). Data acquisition with the APCI-3xxx is based on a time-multiplex system.
APCI-3xxx Functions of the board Please note: During the switching of the voltage range from unipolar to bipolar or from bipolar to unipolar there is a longer settling time of the measuring chain. 8.2.3 Analog input switch (differential inputs) The input impedance is the input resistance (10 Ω) of the PGA and the connected capacities (C and C...

APCI-3xxx Functions of the board dw_DelayTime = 20 dw_SequenceCounter dw_InterruptSequenceCounter= 2 Auto refresh mode The analog acquisition is initialized and writes the values of the channels into a storage location on the APCI-3xxx. The PC reads the data asynchronous to the acquisition. Analog outputs There are 4 analog output channels with a resolution of 12-bit and a precision of 11-bit on the APCI-3110 and APCI-3116.
Functions of the board APCI-3xxx Fig. 8-4: Reaction time of the analog outputs When the computer is switched on, the analog outputs are temporarily in an undefined state. It is thus essential that the computer is switched on before the connected peripherals. After the Power ON reset of the computer, a voltage of 0 V is applied to all analog outputs.
APCI-3xxx Functions of the board Digital inputs The inputs are designed for the acquisition of external signal states: The input information is loaded as numerical value into a memory unit of the PC by software. This numeric value calculates the state of the inputs signals. 24 V optically isolated inputs They correspond to the 24 V industrial standard (IEC1131-2): logic"1"...
