Position measurement fast and precise - PCI Express counter board

For each of the modules, the user can choose between the following functionalities and combine them as desired: incremental counter, SSI, PWM, counter/timer, pulse acquisition, Chronos, ETM, TOR, BiSS Master (Bidirectional Serial Interface), TTL I/O, digital I/O, etc. Additional functionalities such as Sin/Cos or EnDat can in future be integrated in piggyback modules and added to the circuit board. Customer-specific functionalities can be implemented without a change of hardware. In order to acquire data in real time, the user can resort to a DMA data exchange for the new functionalities.

All inputs and outputs are optically isolated up to 1000 V and protect the system against dangerous interference from the environment. Up to 28 inputs and 12 outputs take on different control and regulating tasks.

If the APCIe-1711 is used along with the ST1711-50 cable instead of the PCI board version APCI-1710, compatibility is guaranteed for the current application. To program the PCI Express board APCIe-1711, the drivers of the APCI-1710 are used.
