Advantech PCLD-8710 Screw Terminal Breakout Board

Advantech PCLD-8710 Screw-Terminal Breakout Board with a CJC circuit is a DIN-rail mounting wiring terminal module that connects Advantech PC-Lab cards to field I/O via a 68-pin SCSI-II female connector and two 32-pin screw-terminal blocks. It includes an integrated cold-junction compensation (CJC) circuit to improve thermocouple measurement accuracy, a common requirement in temperature monitoring and control. The board uses industrial-grade screw-clamp terminals for secure, vibration-resistant connections and is designed for easy DIN-rail installation in panel environments. Specifically, it is intended for use with Advantech PCI-1710 and PCI-1710HG data-acquisition cards, providing reliable signal wiring through the SCSI-II interface while keeping cabinet wiring neat and accessible. The combination of the 68-pin SCSI connection to the host card and the two 32-pin terminal blocks facilitates straightforward routing of multiple input signals from field sensors to the PCI-Lab card, making it a practical accessory for laboratory and factory automation setups that rely on Advantech DA hardware.
