Intended use

The xPCI-800x motion control boards (APCI-8001, APCI-8008 and CPCI-8004) form the interface between
industrial process, automation and drive technology and a personal computer (PC).
The board is suitable for use in a PC that has been fitted with free PCI slots. The PC is subject to EU
directive 898/336/EEC and must satisfy the corresponding EMC protection requirements.
Products which satisfy these requirements carry the

Special notes for the APCI-8001 and APCI-8008

Data exchange between the APCI-8001 and APCI-8008 boards and the periphery takes place via a shielded
cable. This cable must be connected to the 50-pin SUB-D male connector of the APCI-8001 or APCI-8008.
The APCI-8001 or APCI-8008 also has digital outputs for processing 24 V signals. An external 24 V supply
voltage is required to operate these outputs.
The PX8000 screw terminal board enables connection of the 24 V supply voltage via a shielded cable.
The use of the APCI-8001 or APCI-8008 in combination with external screw terminal boards requires
technical installation in a closed switch cupboard. Check the screen attenuation measure of PC housing and
cable shield before commissioning the device.
Use of the standard ST8001 cable satisfies the minimum requirements:
•
metallised connector shells,
•
shielded cable,
•
cable screen folded back over insulation and screwed down on both sides with the connector shell.

Special notes for the APCI-8008-STP-EVAI

The board APCI-8008-STP-EVAI enables the user to control 6 stepper axes with encoder verification.
For this purpose, the board is equipped with 16 digital inputs and a maximum of 8 digital outputs.
The inputs and outputs are shared for all 6 axes. Hardware latch inputs are:
I11 for axis 1
I12 for axis 2
I13 for axis 3
I14 for axis 4
I15 for axis 5
I16 for axis 6
The outputs are optional. The +24 V supply at pin 59 of X1 is required only if digital outputs are used. At the
respective pins (digital outputs), also CNC ready relays or analog inputs can be made available.
The corresponding configuration is fitted ex works. The external components are connected via a 78-pin
SUB-D female connector (X1). The OPMF-8008 cannot be used for this board version.
The scope of software is more or less identical to that of the other xPCI-800x boards. However, an
interpolation is only possible with the first 4 axes. The SMLA and SMLR commands can be called up for axes
5 and 6 as well, but only as single-axis traversing commands.
