The ADLINK PCI-725X manual details features, specifications, installation, and operation of 8‑channel relay output and isolated digital input cards.
The PCI-725X series provides 8 relay actuators and 8 opto‑isolated digital inputs for PCI, cPCI, LPCI and LPCIe platforms. The cards are designed for industrial ON/OFF control, laboratory automation, and data‑acquisition systems, offering plug‑and‑play PCI‑Bus or PCI‑Express interfaces and on‑board LED status indicators.
The manual covers hardware layout, jumper settings, PCI configuration, driver installation for Windows and Linux, register maps, and detailed operation theory. Appendices include relay contact protection circuits and component selection guidelines.
| Digital input channels | 8 (PCI‑7250/7251/LPCI‑7250/LPCIe‑7250) or 16 (cPCI‑7252) |
|---|---|
| Relay output channels | 8 |
| Relay type | 4 SPDT & 4 SPST (PCI‑7250/7251) or 8 SPDT (cPCI‑7252, LPCI‑7250, LPCIe‑7250) |
| Input voltage range | Up to 24 VDC or 24 VAC, 50‑1000 Hz |
| Isolation voltage | 5000 Vrms (PCI‑7250/7251/cPCI‑7252) or 2500 Vrms (LPCI‑7250/LPCIe‑7250) |
| Relay coil power supply | +5 V, 33 mA per relay (total 0.264 A) |
| Power consumption (PCI‑7250) | +5 V @ 140 mA |
The PCI‑7250 provides 8 relay actuator outputs.
The isolation voltage is rated at 5000 Vrms channel‑to‑system for PCI‑7250, PCI‑7251 and cPCI‑7252 cards.
Each relay coil requires +5 V at 33 mA, with a total current draw of about 0.264 A for all eight relays.
Yes, jumper settings allow selection between AC‑filtered and non‑AC‑filtered input modes.
