® 1. Description The wasco ® interface board OPTORE-PCIe16 features 16 digital STANDARD input channels and 16 digital output channels, each of which are galva- nically isolated individually. Inputs are electrically isolated by high quality optocouplers, the outputs by 16 relays. The input optocouplers are bipolar.
® 2. Installing the OPTORE-PCIe16 STANDARD 2.1 Installing the card into your system Before you insert the OPTORE-PCIe16 unplug the power cord or make sure, that there is no current to/in the computer. Inserting the interface card in a running system may cause damaging or destroying not only...
The addresses relevant to the OPTORE-PCIe16 result from a base address assigned by the BIOS. Access to the OPTORE-PCIe16 is exclusively in double-word access. In the compatibility mode, the wasco driver functions only process or allow for the least significant byte.
® 5. 16 Optocoupler Isolated Digital Inputs The OPTORE-PCIe16 provides 16 input channels, each of which is optically isolated by optocouplers. The isolation voltage between GND and input is 500 V . The voltage within the input channels is limited to 50 Volt. The optocouplers are bipolar.

® 6.3 Contact Protection Circuit Protection varistor RV100-RV115 For switching an inductive load, it may be of benefit to set a protection varistor in parallel with the relay switching contacts (see figure below). For this user-specific additional circuit, OPTORE-PCIe16...
® 7. Hardware Configuration 7.1 Board Identification The board identification is used to distinguish Jumper between several PC cards of the same type on the computer. This is done by a jumper block, which can be read by software.
® 7.2 Access with 8 or 32 Bit The jumper block JP2/1-2 can be used to set the access data width. If the jumper block JP2/1-2 is not set (Default), the board is working in compatibility mode. In this mode, the board is accessed in 8-bit mode.
® ® 8. Programming on Windows ® 8.1 Installation of the Windows driver In order to implement the card under Windows ® , it is necessary to install a special driver that allows access to the card. The operating system under ®...

The circuit examples listed in the following serve as a source of informa- tion of a general scope. That means, they are not specially developed for wasco products, but they are also applicable for all to wasco ® ® cards connected peripherals.
® 2. Circuit Example RC Element Inductive Load Suitability A/C voltage: good D/C voltage: good When applying a load, for example in the form of a relay, the release time of the contacts is delayed. This circuit is effective when you connect the load and when mains voltage is between 24 and 48 Volt.
® 3. Circuit Example Diode Inductive Load Suitability A/C voltage: poor D/C voltage: good The energy (inductive load) stored in a coil generates a current flow across the diode connected in parallel to the coil, when the load is switched off.
® 4. Circuit Example Diode and Zener Diode Inductive Load Suitability A/C voltage: poor D/C voltage: good If in special applications the fall time achieved by a diode protection circuit is too long, this connection effectively will reduce the fall time.
® 5. Circuit Example Varistor induktive Last Suitability: A/C voltage: good D/C voltage: good This circuit prevents the emergence of high voltage at the contacts. The fall time of the contacts will be delayed slightly when using this circuit. A varistor connected in parallel to the load will be effective at a mains vol- tage between 24 and 48 Volt.
