1. Introduction Thank you for buying the Advantech PCI-1784. The PCI-1784 is a 4- axis quadrature encoder and counter card for PCI bus. This card includes four 32-bit quadruple AB phase encoder counters, 8-bit timer with multi range time-base selector and four isolated digital input and four isolated digital output. Its flexible interrupt sources are suitable for motor control and position monitoring. The following sections of this chapter will provide further information about features of the m

Counters The PCI-1784 has four independent 32-bit counters. The maximum quadrature input rate is 2 MHz, and the maximum input rate in counter mode is 8 MHz. You can individually configure each counter for quadrature decoding, pulse/direction counting or up/down counting. Digital Input and Interrupts The PCI-1784 provides four digital input channels. Each channel accepts digital input as an index input for a rotary encoder or as a home sensor input for a linear encoder. The card can generate an i

default configuration, depending on jumper setting. This practical function eliminates danger caused by miss-operation during unexpected system reset. Board ID The PCI-1784 has a built-in DIP Switch that helps define each card’s ID when multiple PCI-1784 cards have been installed on the same PC chassis. The board ID setting function is very useful when users build their system with multiple PCI-1784 cards. With correct Board ID settings, you can easily identify and access each card during hardwa
