PCI2250PGFG4

The PCI2250PGFG4 is an interface card made by Advantech. Its main function is to add isolated digital input/output channels to the PCI bus. It is used for various industrial automation applications, and is part of the PCI-I/O family. It is a cost-effective and efficient signal isolation solution for Automation, factory automation, and process control.

Application Field

The PCI2250PGFG4 is typically used in industrial automation applications, such as factory automation and process control. It can be used for various inputs and outputs, such as for process monitoring, machine control and development, data acquisition, process control, and computer numerical control (CNC). It is also suitable for communication interface, motion control, and mass transit applications.

The card is particularly useful in applications where noise immunity, signal isolation, and high-speed signal transmissions are required. The card is also well-suited for applications that require data integrity, as the isolation ensures that no noise or interference is passed between the different modules.

Working Principle

The PCI2250PGFG4 is based on an isolated technology that works by using a transformer to create an isolation barrier between the input and output signals. This allows the signals to move from one side of the barrier to the other without any risk of interference or noise.

The card is powered by a PCI bus, so it can be plugged directly into a computer. The driver software is installed on the computer, which then communicates with the card. The card is then used for various I/O operations, such as analogue or digital input/output, as well as configuring and testing the system.

The card also features built-in noise immunity and over-voltage protection, so it can reliably handle isolated digital signals without interference. It also has a low power consumption of approximately 250mA at 3.3V DC.

Conclusion

The PCI2250PGFG4 is a cost-effective, reliable, and efficient interface card for industrial automation applications. It is a highly-capable card that is both easy to install and use, and offers superior signal isolation. It is suitable for various types of communication and control systems, and can be used to add isolated digital input/output channels to the PCI bus.
