Page 5: Introduction
ME-8100 series if not otherwise noted. Important Notes 1.1.1 Use in Accordance with the Requirements The PC boards of the ME-8100 series are designed for acquisition and output of digital signals with a PC. Depending on type install the models of the ME-series into:... -
Page 6: Improper Application
Note that the computer must be powered up prior to connect- ing signals by the external wiring of the board. As a basic principle, all connections to the board should only be made or removed in a powered-down state of all components. ... -

32 inputs and 32 outputs (24 V) 3 x 16 bit (24 V) ME-8100B cPCI The boards of the ME-8100 series come with digital input and out- put ports and with three 16-bit counters. The digital ports and the counter signals are optically isolated and are designed for control applications requiring 24 V voltage level. -

(32 bit, 33 MHz, 5 V). The board is supported by the Meilhaus Electronic Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS). Software Support The ME-series is supported by the Meilhaus Electronic Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS). The ME-iDS is a unique driver system cov- ering different devices and operating systems. It supports Win- dows 2000/XP/Vista and Windows 7, 8.1, 10 and contains a uni-... -
Page 9: Starting Up
First choose a di- rectory on your computer (e.g. C:\Temp\Meilhaus\ME-iDS). Use the Meilhaus Electronic Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS) for programming your new data acquisition hardware. For installation and operation of the driver system, please follow the documenta- tion in electronic form included with the software package. -

Hardware Block Diagram Depending on the version not all functional groups included in the block diagram above are available: ME-8100A: 16 inputs and 16 outputs, 1 x 16-bit-wide bit-pattern comparator, 3 x 16-bit counters. ME-8100B: 32 inputs and 32 outputs, 2 x 16-bit-wide bit-pattern comparator, 3 x 16-bit counters. -
Page 12: Digital I/O
Digital I/O The opto-isolated inputs and opto-isolated outputs of the ME-8100 series are designed for control applications requiring 24 V voltage level. For programming please read chapter 4.1 "Digital-I/O Section" on page 17: 3.2.1 Opto-Isolated Inputs The 16 resp. 32 opto-isolated input channels (DI_A 0…15/ DI_B 0…15) of the ME-8100A/B are connected to the opto-couplers through resistors R . -
Page 13: Sink Driver
3.2.1.1 Sink Driver: The maximum current (I ) depends on the saturation voltage Sink and is limited by the power dissipation of the sum of the chan- nels to P = 1 W per chip (DO 0…7 = chip 1, DO_ 8…15 = chip 2, …), see Diagram 6: "Saturation voltage ULN2803". -
Page 14: Source Driver
3.2.1.2 Source Driver: Please see the following table for the maximum current per output ). The power dissipation of the sum of channels may not Source exceed P = 0.7 W per chip (DO_ 0…7 = chip 1, DO_ 8…15 = chip 2, …). -
Page 15: Counter
The counter component is the standard 82C54 chip. This flexible component has 3 independent down counters, each 16-bit. The ME-8100 series boards use the standard counter chip of type 82C54. This flexible component has 3 independent 16-bit (down) counters. All counter signals are available on the external D-Sub- connector. -
Page 16: Wiring Counter Outputs
3.3.1.2 Wiring Counter Outputs 3.3.1.3 Cascading the Counters The outputs of the counter(s) can be cascaded in line by making the proper external connections. The following example explains how to cascade counters 0…2: The clock input of counter 0 (Clk 0) is connected to the source clock. -

Please note, that we cannot support this driver any- more. Digital-I/O Section Each digital port of the ME-8100 series is considered to be an in- dependent functional group (subdevice) in the Meilhaus Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS). These subdevices of a device are num- bered always starting with „0“. -

Port width: bit, byte or word operation. 4.1.2 Bit-Pattern Recognition As a special feature the ME-8100 series offers the operation modes “bit-pattern match” and “bit-pattern change”. 4.1.2.1 Bit-Pattern Match In the “bit-pattern match” mode, a bit-pattern written to the com- parison register is compared to the bit-pattern on the correspond- ing input port. -
Page 19: Bit-Pattern Change
4.1.2.2 Bit-Pattern Change In the “bit-pattern change” mode, one or more input lines can be defined which should be monitored on toggling a bit. The respective bits of the corresponding mask register serve as a reference. If toggling (0 → 1 or 1 → 0) of at least one bit, masked with “1”, an interrupt occurs (see diagram 11). -

significant bits) a transition of a higher significant bit doesn’t matter. Only toggling of a bit, which is set to „1“ in parameter <iIrqArg> an interrupt is initiated. The width of the reference can be determined by parameter <iFlags>. Analyzing the interrupt event is done by the function Further details for the order of operation can be found in the chap- ter „interrupt operation“... -
