Advantech Launches 12-Bit Multifunctional Module with Programmable Gain
(Cincinnati, Ohio - 02/17/2006) - The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech introduces the PCM-3718HO. The PCM-3718HO is a multifunctional I/O card with PC/104 interface, 16 analog inputs, one analog output, 16 digital I/O channels, and counter functions.
Such a broad range of functions in a single PC/104 card is a significant breakthrough and will be appreciated by embedded system developers with demanding space constraints. Using the compact PC/104 form factor, the card enables better integration and can be fitted into smaller systems such as the UNO-2160 embedded industrial PC. "The PC/104 form factor is suitable for system integrators that need more functions in less space, like machine makers", said Richard Yu, Product Manager at Advantech. "PCM-3718HO covers many of the functions commonly needed in machine automation; we believe this product will be well received by our customers."
The main features of the PCM-3718HO are: 16 single-ended or 8 different analog inputs, 12-bit A/D converter up to 100 KHz sampling rate with DMA transfer, two 8-bit digital input/output TTL level channels, and one 12-bit analog output channel.
The PCM-3718HO starts at $255 and is available for purchase directly from Advantech at 1-800-205-7940 or from one of Advantech's North American distributors at eautomationpro.com/us.
