Industrial I/O Product Lines
Signal conditioning circuits
improve the quality of signals
generated by transducers
before they are converted into
digital signals by the PC’s data
acquisition hardware. Examples
of signal conditioning are
signal scaling, amplification,
linearization, cold-junction
compensation, filtering,
attenuation, excitation, common-
mode rejection, and so on. The
ADAM-3000 series covers a wide
range of signals from DC micro
voltage to AC 400 V; and from
mini-amp to 5 amp signals.
Every item of data acquisition
hardware generally performs
one or more of the following
functions: analog input, analog
output, digital input, digital
output, counter/timer, and GPIB.
Advantech offers dedicated
products for each function in
different interfaces, including
USB, PCI, PCI Express, ISA,
CompactPCI, PC/104 and
PCI-104, for customers to choose
from, regardless if the platform is
an IPC, embedded PC, desktop
computer or laptop.
Spanning a broad range of
functionality from device
drivers for controlling hardware
interfaces to application software
packages for developing systems,
flexible software plays a vital
role in developing automation
and T&M applications. Not only
does Advantech provide support
for Windows 7, Windows XP,
Windows CE, and Linux, but also
offers graphic tools to help users
deploy designs in shorter time.
