Features:
- Onboard 133 MHz Processor with 16 MB Memory
- 500V Galvanic Isolation on RS485/422 Port
- Universal PCI (3.3V / 5V) in a Short Card Form Factor
The WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 integrates an AMD SC520 processor and 16 Mbytes of dedicated RAM. This onboard intelligence handles all serial protocol overhead—including character assembly, error checking, and flow control—so your host CPU is free to run high‑level applications. The result is deterministic real‑time performance even in multi‑port or high‑traffic installations.
Industrial environments are filled with ground potential differences, EMI, and surge voltages. The WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 provides 500V galvanic isolation between the serial field side and the PCI bus side. This protects your expensive PC from damage, eliminates communication errors caused by ground loops, and ensures stable data transmission over long cable runs up to 1200 meters.
The WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 is a PCI Universal card that auto‑detects and operates on both 3.3V and 5V PCI slots. Its short card length (168mm x 107mm) fits into compact industrial chassis. Hardware Plug & Play simplifies installation—no jumpers or manual resource assignments are needed. This makes the card equally suitable for legacy system repairs, machine retrofits, and new industrial PC integrations.
The APPLICOM-PCI1000 WOODHEAD Intelligent Isolated Serial Communication PCI Card may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- 500V Galvanic Isolation – The WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 provides 500V isolation between the RS485 field wiring and the PC backplane. This protects both the computer and the operator from ground faults, voltage transients, and common‑mode voltage differences commonly found in industrial electrical environments.
- CE Marking for EU Market Access – The WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 carries the CE mark, confirming compliance with EU electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and low‑voltage safety standards. This is a requirement for legal sale and installation within the European Economic Area.
- RoHS Compliance (Lead‑Free) – The WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 is fully RoHS compliant, meaning it contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, or other restricted hazardous substances above allowable limits. This meets global environmental regulations for industrial electronics.
- EMC for Industrial & Office Use – The card has been tested and certified for both industrial environments (heavy electrical noise, switching transients) and office environments (light commercial). This dual certification gives system integrators flexibility in where the WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 can be deployed without causing or suffering from interference.
- Real‑time TX/RX LED Indication – Two front‑panel LEDs on the WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 blink during data transmission and reception, giving operators an instant visual check of communication health without opening any software.
- Onboard Processor‑Driven Communication – Because the WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 handles interrupt handling, buffering, and character assembly locally, the host PC receives only fully formed messages. This makes real‑time control loops more deterministic and easier to monitor.
- Diagnostic Software Support – The original applicom software suite includes diagnostic tools that report buffer overruns, parity errors, and line status for the WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly isolate wiring or configuration faults.
- Hardware Plug & Play for Easy Integration – The WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 uses hardware Plug & Play with no jumpers. System integrators can quickly deploy and monitor multiple cards across different PCI slots without manually assigning IRQs or memory addresses.
- Legacy Machine Retrofitting – The WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 enables a modern industrial PC to communicate with a single legacy RS485/422 device, such as an old PLC, drive, or indicator, without modifying the field device. This is essential for extending the life of capital equipment.
- Factory Data Collection (Single Point) – When one critical machine on a production line—like a blow molder, labeler, or test stand—needs to report production counts, fault codes, or cycle times to a central SCADA system, the WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 provides a direct, isolated serial link.
- Process Control Interface – In chemical, water treatment, or food processing plants, many flow meters, pressure transmitters, and valve controllers use RS485/Modbus RTU. The WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000 connects one such instrument directly to a PC running control or logging software.
- Spare Part for Installed Base – Thousands of machines and systems were originally designed with the WOODHEAD APPLICOM-PCI1000. When the original card fails, replacing it with an identical unit avoids software reconfiguration, driver updates, or recertification costs.
