Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec- tronic components. PCI-1756 User Manual...
The PCI-1756 can durably withstand a voltage up to 2,500 VDC, preventing your host system from any incidental harms. Wide Input Range The PCI-1756 has a wide range of input voltage from 10 to 50 V , and it is suitable for most industrial applications with 12 V and 24 V input voltage.
Board ID Setting The PCI-1756 has a built-in DIP switch that helps define each card’s ID when multi- ple cards have been installed on the same PC chassis. The board ID setting function is very useful when users build their system with multiple PCI-1756 cards. With cor- rect Board ID settings, you can easily identify and access each card during hardware configuration and software programming.
Installation Guide Before you install your PCI-1756 card, please make sure you have the following nec- essary components: PCI-1756 DAQ Card PCI-1756 Startup or User Manual Driver Software Advantech DAQNavi software (included in DVDROM) Wiring Cable PCL-10250 or PCL-101100M (optional) ...
Software Overview Advantech offers a rich set of DLL drivers, third-party driver support and application software to help fully exploit the functions of your PCI-1756 card: DAQNavi software (on the companion DVD-ROM) LabView driver Advantech DAQ tools Programming choices for DA&C cards...
1.6.2 Programming with DAQNavi Device Drivers Function Library Advantech DAQNavi device drivers offer a rich function library that can be utilized in various application programs. This function library consists of numerous APIs that support many development tools, such as Visual Studio .Net, Visual C++, Visual Basic and Borland Delphi.
Accessories Advantech offers a complete set of accessory products to support the PCI-1756 card. These accessories include: Wiring Cables PCL-10250 The PCL-10250 is a 100-pin SCSI to two 50-pin SCSI shielded cable that specially designed for PCI-1756 card. It should be used with ADAM- 3951 wiring board.
Unpacking After receiving your PCI-1756 package, please inspect its contents first. The package should contain the following items: PCI-1756 DAQ Card StartUp or User Manual Companion DVD-ROM with DAQNavi drivers included. The PCI-1756 card harbor certain electronic components vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Driver Installation We recommend you install the driver before you install the PCI-1756 card into your system, since this will guarantee a smooth installation process. The Advantech DAQNavi Device Drivers Setup program for the PCI-1756 card is included in the companion DVD-ROM that is shipped with your DA&C card package.

This chapter provides useful information about how to connect input and output signals to the PCI-1756 cards via the I/O connector. Switch and Jumper Settings Please refer to Figure 3.1 for jumper and switch locations on PCI-1756. Figure 3.1 Connector and Switch Locations PCI-1756 User Manual...
3.2.1 Board ID (SW1) The PCI-1756 have a built-in DIP switch (SW1), which is used to define each card’s board ID. When there are multiple cards on the same chassis, this board ID switch is useful for identifying each card’s device number. After setting for each PCI-1756, you can identify each card in system with different device numbers.
3.2.3 Channel-Freeze Function (JP2) The PCI-1756 provides the channel-freeze function for isolated digital output chan- nels. When Channel-Freeze function is enabled, all ports on the card will be locked so that the data transmitted (from the host PC) to the card won’t be transferred to the DO ports.
Signal Connections Pin Assignment The I/O connector on the PCI-1756 is a 100-pin connector that enable you to connect to accessories with the PCL-10250 or PCL-101100M shielded cable. Figure 3.2 shows the pin assignments for the 100-pin I/O connector on the PCI-1756, and Table 3.4 shows its I/O connector signal description.
Meaning that you can apply positive or negative voltage to an isolated input pin (V ). Every 16 input channels share one common pin. Figure 3.3 shows how to connect an external input source to one of the card’s isolated input channels. Figure 3.3 Isolated Digital Input Connection PCI-1756 User Manual...
Figure 3.4 Isolated Digital Output Connection 3.3.4 Channel-Freeze Function The PCI-1756 provides a digital input channel (CH_FRZ_IN) to enable the channel- freeze function. The channel-freeze function acts when the pin CH_FRZ_IN is acti- vated. Moreover, you can setup the input mode of channel-freeze function input channel CH_FRZ_IN as dry contact input mode or wet contact input mode selected by on-board jumper JP2.
Figure 3.6 Wiring in dry contact input mode Field Wiring Considerations When you use PCI-1756 cards to acquire data from outside, noises in the environ- ment might significantly affect the accuracy of your measurements if due cautions are not taken. The following measures will be helpful to reduce possible interference run- ning signal wires between signal sources and the PCI-1756 card.
