The PCI-DIO32 board is PCI 2.1 bus compliant. Addressing, data, and control signals are TTL compatible. What’s Included The PCI-DIO32 is shipped with the following items. If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact ICS Advent. PCI-DIO32 interface adapter board...
For users of DOS, Windows 3.1, etc., run disk 3 and the Read Me file. System Installation The PCI-DIO32 board can be installed in any PCI expansion slot as follows: 1) Turn off system power. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Chapter 3 Technical Description The PCI-DIO32 provides four parallel input/output (I/O) ports, organized as ports A, B, C, and D. Port A and B are input ports interfaced to optically isolated inputs. Ports C and D are reed relay output ports. Assuming an I/O...
Isolator diode drop = 1.1V Maximum resistor power = 0.25W Turn-on voltage = diode drop + (turn-on current) x ( resistance) Or : 1.1 + (0.003) x R Maximum voltage = square root of (0.25 x (resistor value)) PCI-DIO32 User’s Guide...
The following table shows four common input resistors and the ranges associated with each: Input Value Max Input Resistor Turn-On Range Current (ohms) (volts) (volts) (mA) 1.76 2.2K The maximum input voltage can be increased by increasing the input resistor accordingly.
+ 5V + 12V Software The PCI-DIO32 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, allowing the developer to concentrate on the details of the application instead of low level driver development.
