DAQ CARD BUYING GUIDE

National Instruments or Advantech?

Advantech has long been a mainstay in the DAQ card industry, but still for many it may come as a surprise that their DAQ cards more than stand up to the National Instruments offerings, include LabVIEW support as standard, and come in at a fraction of the price.

Here we do a comparison of a few of the most popular DAQ cards from National Instruments alongside the Advantech equivalent.

PCL-833 overview

The PCL-833 is a 3-axis quadrature encoder and counter add-on card for the ISA bus. This card lets your PC perform position monitoring for motion control systems. Each input includes a decoding circuit for incremental quadrature encoding. Inputs accept either single-ended or differential signals. Quadrature inputs works with or without an index, allowing linear or rotary encoder feedback.

The PCL-833 has three independent 24-bit counters. The maximum quadrature input rate is 1.0MHz, and the maximum input rate in counter mode is 2.4MHz. You can individually configure each counter for quadrature decoding, pulse/direction counting or up/down counting.

The PCL-833 provides five digital input channels. Each channel accepts a 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 interrupt to the system based on a signal from its digital inputs, overflow/underflow of its counters, or on a programmed time interval. It can repeatedly generate interrupts at any time interval you specify, from 0.1 msec. to 255 sec. These interrupts let you precisely monitor the speed of a control system.
