User Guide Introduction Description The PCT-8424/8425/8426 are add-on PCI Express cards intended especially for laboratory and industrial automation and measuring systems. The PCT-8424/8425/8426 cards provide especially these features: • 24 isolated digital inputs; signal levels depending on the type of card (5 V or 24 V) •...

Detailed reading of this guide and following the instructions precisely are highly recommended for achieving full quality and to prevent any damage during installation. For further information see manufacturer's website http://www.tedia.eu. Hardware configuration The PCT-842x card contains a single configuration element - a two-segment DIP switch (the status of this switch can be read by the program to identify multiple cards as CardID value).
The PCT-8424 card counters respond to the falling edge, ie. the contents of the counter are incremented by one at the time of the signal change from 1 to 0 in the data register.
All cards of the PCT-842x series contain 24 isolated digital inputs they differ from each other only by signal levels and input connections. The PCT-8424 card digital inputs work with HC/HCT/TTL levels and use HCTMOS circuits providing high input impedance, very low leakage current and protection diodes. The...
Check the Appendix, Figure 6 for detail information. Note: Unfortunately, the concept of bidirectional ports does not provide the overvoltage protection available to other ports of PCI/PCIe TEDIA cards. Interrupt logic The PCT-842x card allows to trigger an interrupt (simultaneously with the timestamp IRQ generator) by any combination of rising or falling edges of the signals of all digital inputs and digital ports.
