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-DIO96 so that you get the most out of its digital I/O features. This user's guide also refers you to related documents available on our web site, and to technical support resources.
This manual provides installation and programming information for the PCI-DIO96 digital I/O board. The PCI-DIO96 is a 96-bit line digital I/O board. The board provides the 96 bits in 24-bit groups based on the 82C55 specification. Each 24-bit group is divided into three eight-bit ports.
In addition to this hardware user's guide, you should also receive the Quick Start Guide (available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf). This booklet supplies a brief description of the software you received with your PCI-DIO96 and information regarding installation of that software. Please read this booklet completely before installing any software or hardware.
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before removing the PCI-DIO96 from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
CIO-ERB48 SSR-RACK24 SSR-RACK48 The PCI-DIO96 board has a 100-pin, high-density Robinson-Nugent male connector. Connector pinouts are listed on page 11. You can use the optional C100FF-x cable to split the 100 I/O lines into two, 50-pin cables. Board connector pins 1 to 50 are mapped directly to pins 1 to 50 on the C100FF-x cable's first 50-pin connector. Board connector pins 51 to 100 are mapped directly to pins 1 to 50 on the C100FF-x cable's second 50-pin connector (pin 51 is mapped to pin 1, and pin 100 is mapped to pin 50.) A sample C100FF-x cable configuration is shown...

Installing the PCI-DIO96 Field wiring and signal termination accessories You can use the following screw terminal boards to terminate field signals and route them into the PCI-DIO96 using the C100FF-x cable. SCB-50 – 50 conductor, shielded signal connection/screw terminal box provides two independent 50-pin connections.
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-DIO96. This document is available at www.mccdaq.com/registermaps/RegMapPCI-DIO96.pdf.
Functional Details Signal level control All the digital inputs on the PCI-DIO96 are 8255 CMOS TTL. The PCI-DIO96 output signals are 8255 CMOS. Note The 82C55 digital I/O chip initializes all ports as inputs on power- up and reset. A TTL input is a high impedance input.

Functional Details To safeguard against unwanted signal levels, the devices being controlled by PCI-DIO96 series boards should be tied low or high as required by a 2.2K Ω resistor. In a 2.2K eight-resistor SIP pack, one side of all of the resistors is connected to a single common point and brought out to a pin.
