PCI-1756 offers the following main features:
Robust Protection
The PCI-1756 features a robust isolation protection for applications in industrial, lab
and machinery automation. The PCI-1756 can durably withstand a voltage up to
2,500 VDC, preventing your host system from any incidental harms.
Wide Input Range
The PCI-1756 has a wide range of input voltage from 10 to 50 V
DC
, and it is suitable
for most industrial applications with 12 V
DC
and 24 V
DC
input voltage. In the mean
time, we are also ready to serve your special needs for specific input voltage range.
