Advantech PCLD-780 Wiring Terminal Board

Advantech PCLD-780 Wiring Terminal Board is a universal screw-terminal interface designed for Advantech PC-LabCard systems. It attaches to PC-LabCard products using two 20-pin flat-cable connectors, providing screw terminals for direct field wiring of signals. The board includes a compact PCB layout with pads intended for passive components, enabling users to build simple signal-conditioning networks at the front end — for example, low-pass filters, attenuators, or current-to-voltage converters — before signals enter or exit the PC-LabCard I/O. This makes it a flexible front-end accessory for lab and automation tasks, allowing technicians to route sensors, transducers, or test signals through a customizable, compact terminal interface without modifying the PC-LabCard itself. The PCLD-780 family includes variants such as PCLD-780-BE, described as a screw-terminal board with flat cables, further simplifying wiring by integrating flat-cable connectivity with the screw-terminal interface. Compatibility extends to other PCLD universal terminal boards in Advantech's family, forming a modular front-end for PC-LabCard-based DAQ and measurement setups.
