About this User's Guide What you will learn from this user's guide This user's guide explains how to install, configure, and use the PCI-PDISO16 so that you get the most out of its digital input features. This user's guide also refers you to related documents available on our web site, and to technical support resources that can also help you get the most out of these boards.
The PCI-PDISO16 board is completely plug-and-play, with no switches or jumpers to set. Software features For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your PCI-PDISO16, refer to the Quick Start Guide that shipped with your device. The Quick Start Guide is also available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf.
User's Guide Introducing the PCI-PDISO16 PCI-PDISO16 block diagram The PCI-PDISO16 provides isolated input channels and relay output channels on each connector. The block diagram shown here illustrates the board’s functionality. Controller FPGA and Logic Control Control Registers Interrupt Decode/Status Control...
What comes with your PCI-PDISO16 shipment? As you unpack your PCI-PDISO16, verify that the following components are included. Hardware PCI-PDISO16 (shown here with the protective cover removed – it is recommended that this cover be left in place during use) Optional components...
Quick-Start.pdf. Installing the hardware The PCI-PDISO16 board is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches or jumpers to set on the board. Configuration is controlled by your system's BIOS. To install your board, follow the steps below. Install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software.
SCB-37 The PCI-PDISO16 board has two 50-pin connectors for signal I/O connections that are labeled on the board as . P2 is located adjacent to the main I/O connector bracket at the left side of the board. P3 is located towards the middle-right side of the board.
INPUT 7 ↓ PCI slot Caution! High voltages are present on the PCI-PDISO16 board when you connect high voltage inputs or outputs to the board’s connector. Use extreme caution! Never handle the PCI-PDISO16 board when signals are connected to the board through the connector. Do not remove the...
(NO) = Normally Open, (C) = Common, (NC) = Normally Closed Figure 2-3. C50-37F-x adaptor cable pin out Note The RELAY 5, 6 and 7 NC terminals on the PCI-PDISO16 board’s 50-pin I/O connector (pin 38, 39 and 40) are not accessible when using the C50-37F-x adaptor cable.
The CIO-MINI50 does not have shields to protect users from accidental contact with hazardous high voltage signals. Construct a safe, fully insulated cable to carry your signals directly from your equipment to the PCI-PDISO16 connector. If you use a screw terminal board, ensure that it is fully enclosed in an insulated, protected box.
You should use the Universal Library or one of the packaged application programs mentioned above to control your board. Only experienced programmers should try register-level programming. If you need to program at the register level in your application, refer to the Register Map for the PCI-PDISO16 (available at www.mccdaq.com/registermaps/RegMapPCI-PDISO16.pdf).
Chapter 4 Functional Description Isolated inputs The PCI-PDISO16 board has eight isolated input channels. A schematic of a single channel is shown in Figure . The signals are routed through a bridge rectifier so that the inputs are not polarity sensitive.
User's Guide Functional Description Form C relay outputs The Form C relay has a Common (C), Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) contact (see Figure NORMALLY OPEN COMMON NORMALLY CLOSED Figure 4-3. Form C relay contacts When a 0 is written to the output, the relay is not energized, and the common and NC are in contact. When a 1 is written to the output, the relay is energized and the common and NO are in contact.
