Page 10: Digital I/O
Digital I/O The inputs and outputs of the ME-9x series are electrically isolated by optocouplers. There is no electrical connection between the hardware connected to the board and the PC. The inputs and outputs are designed for 24 V level used in control engineering. -
Page 11: Opto-Isolated Outputs
3.2.3 Opto-Isolated Outputs The opto-isolated output channels of the ME-95 and ME-96 provide special output drivers. After power-up, the outputs are set to a defined, high-impedance state. A reference to external ground (ext. GND) must be done. The output current may not exceed I 100 mA per channel. -
Page 12: Programming
Programming For programming the device please use the Meilhaus Electronic Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS) included in your package. The ME-iDS is a unique driver system covering different devices and operating systems. It supports Windows XP and higher and contains a universal function library (API) for all common programming languages (the extent of the current software support can be found in the README-files of the ME-iDS). - Page 13 Simple Input/Output The input/output of single digital values is done in operation mode „Single“. Each digital port is accessed as a unique subdevice of type ME_TYPE_D resp. ME_TYPE_DO, subtype ME_SUB- TYPE_SINGLE. Note the order of operation as described in the ME- iDS manual.
