The PCI-16REL is PCI 2.1 bus compliant. What’s Included The PCI-16REL is shipped with the following items. If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact ICS Advent. PCI-16REL interface adapter board Software drivers User’s Guide...
3) Locate an available PCI slot and remove the associated slot filler bracket from the rear panel of the chassis. 4) Gently insert the PCI-16REL board into the slot. Make sure that it is seated properly. 5) Secure the board’s slot bracket to the rear panel with a screw.
Chapter 3 Technical Description The PCI-16REL board provides two parallel reed relay output ports. The ports are organized as ports A, B, C, and D. To maintain compatibility with the existing ISA interface adapter (PN 16REL), ports C and D (base address+2 and address+3) are the reed relay output port addresses.
Maximum Operating Speed = 600Hz Software The PCI-16REL board ships with ICS Advent’s SeaI/O suite of Windows 95/ 98/2000/NT drivers on floppy disks 1 and 2. SeaI/O provides the user with a consistent and straightforward API, which allows the developer to concentrate on the details of the application instead of low level driver development.
Programming Examples Below are two examples using 80X86 Assembly code for energizing and checking the state of the reed relays on the PCI-16REL. Both examples assume a base address of 300h: Set Relay #3 on, write a ‘1’ in bit position D2, to port address Base+3, or 303h.
(A and B) results in the binary complement of the output. This is particularly useful when writing software that queries the last value written to prevent inadvertently changing the state of the relays. Also, bits in the Read Only ports (Base+0,1,4-7) are decoded but not used by the PCI-16REL. PCI-16REL User’s Guide...
