® 1. Description The wasco ® interface card OPTOIN-PCIe32 provides 32 digital STANDARD input channels with galvanic isolation. Potential isolation is achieved by bipolar optocouplers of high quality. Each input is fitted with additional protection diodes against harmful voltage peaks and pulses. Easily plug- gable jumpers enable to adjust two different voltage ranges for each single input channel.
® 2. Installation of the OPTOIN-PCIe32 STANDARD 2.1 Installing the Card into your Computer Before you insert the card unplug the power cord or make sure, there is no current to/in the computer. Inserting into a running system may cause...
The addresses relevant for OPTOIN-PCIe32 depend on a base address assigned by the BIOS. You can access to the OPTOIN-PCIe32 by double word access only. For reasons of compatibility the wasco drivers process or take into account the two least significant bytes only.

® 6. Board Identification 6.1 Board identification The board Identification enables you to dif- Jumper ferentiate between several PC boards of the same type in your system. This is realised by a software readable jumper block. The board identification to be read consists of one Byte (8 Bit) and is...
® 6.2 Access via 16 or 32 bit The jumper block JP2/1-2 can be used to set the access width. If the jumper block JP2/1-2 is not set (default), the card operates in com- patibility mode. In this mode, the card is accessed in 16-bit mode.
