PCM-3712 (ADVANTECH)

The PCM-3712 is a PC/104 module which is primary intended to PC embedded application in industrial environment. It contains two analog output channels which can be independently configured for voltage or current output. Each channel is individually user selectable to any of the following ranges: 0 to 10 V, 0 to 5 V, -2.5 V to +2.5 V, -5 V to +5 V, -10 V to +10 V or 4 to 20 mA current loop and is protected from shorts to grounds. At power on, channels configured for voltage output are set to 0 V and channels configured for current output are set to 4 mA. There is a 12-bit D/A converter, for each channel, with maximum 33 KHz throughputs. Typical applications of PCM-3712 include frequency generation control, direct control value positioning, wave form generation and utilizing a variable voltage output. The module can also be used for analog control in process or laboratory applications where material transfer rate, fluid flow, power consumption, motor speed, temperature levels, etc., are to be controlled. A 10-pin male connector or 9-pin D type connector is provided for easy interfacing to PCM-3712 output.
