Multi-Function IO Module AP730

The Acromag AP730 Series is a Multi Function IO module that delivers high speed and resolution for a variety of IO functions.

Firstly, the AP730 Series is based on the Acromag AcroPack® product line, which has a PCIe interface format. AcroPack® offers products in a compact size, at a low cost with the same functionality and memory map of existing Industry Pack Modules in a rugged form factor. Also they are RoHS compliant.

The AP730 modules are 70mm long and only 19.05mm longer than a full length mini PCIe card. It contains a down facing connector which internally routes I/O signals through the carrier card to secure field connectors. Therefore, eliminating loose cables and increasing reliability.

Features of the Multi-Function IO Module AP730 includes:

• Analog Inputs
• Eight differential input channels (±10.24V, ±10.0V, ±5.12V, ±5.0V, 0 to 10.24V, 0 to 10.0V, 0 to 5.12V ranges)
• 16-bit ADC with integral sample-and-hold and reference
• 1.264μS conversion time (791KHz rate)
• 1026 sample FIFO buffer
• Programmable FIFO threshold conditions for interrupts, DMA transfers, and flags
• User-programmable channel conversion sequence and timing
