    PIO96 works in a Windows 95/98/NT environment and takes advantage of the 32 bit width and the Plug and Play feature of the PCI bus. The KPCI-PIO96 meets a wide variety of parallel I/O requirements, including communicating with peripherals, operating relays, and reading switch inputs.

  • Page 16: Other I/O Characteristics

    PCI bus utilization. The AMCC S5933 provides two modes of operation: bus mastering and target. The KPCI-PIO96 only implements the target mode. The target mode, also referred to as passthrough operation, provides a simple register access port to the PCI bus.

    Otherwise, the device drivers will be more difficult to install. Software options The KPCI-PIO96 has two software options. The user can select a fully integrated data acquisition software package (e.g., TestPoint or LabVIEW). The user can also run a custom program in Visual C/C++, Visual Basic, or Delphi using DriverLINX (included with the hardware).

  • Page 19: Testpoint

    Installing the TestPoint User Defined Object (UDO) The TestPoint Digital I/O object (DIO) cannot be used with the KPCI-PIO96 board. Instead, Keithley provides a TestPoint User Defined Object (UDO) on the CD-ROM that contains this manual. The TestPoint UDO provides the same features as the TestPoint DIO.

    PIO96 board.” Installing and connecting the KPCI-PIO96 board The four KPCI-PIO96 I/O connectors are located on the face of the circuit board. Therefore, cables to the user’s external circuits must be connected to the board before installing the card in the computer.

  • Page 21: Locating The I/O Connection Points On The Board

    KPCI-PIO96 User’s Manual Installation Locating the I/O connection points on the board The board has four identical I/O connectors: one for each group of PA, PB and PC ports (i.e one connector for each emulated 8255 chip). Each I/O connector has a 50-pin, 0.1” header configuration.

  • Page 23: Connecting I/O Cables And Interface Accessories

    Installation Connecting I/O cables and interface accessories The KPCI-PIO96 I/O connectors can be mated directly to your external circuits using locally fabricated cable assemblies. Alternatively, the connectors can be mated to your circuits via manufactured cable assemblies and interface accessories, such as screw terminal boards and relay circuits.

    Otherwise, the device drivers will be more difficult to install. Use the following steps to install a KPCI-PIO96 board in a PCI expansion slot on your computer: 1. Turn power OFF to the computer, and to all external circuits if any are attached to the board.

  • Page 26: Monitoring Contact Closure At An Input

    KPCI-PIO96 User’s Manual Monitoring contact closure at an input To ensure that the KPCI-PIO96 reliably monitors an open contact as an input-high condition, connect a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor between the input line and a +5 VDC source. See Figure 3-4.

  • Page 27: Boosting Relay Drive Current

    Some relays require higher drive currents than standard solid-state relays. The maximum output low sink current for each I/O line of a KPCI-PIO96 board is 64mA at 5V. If your relay requires more than 64mA or more than 5V, you can boost the drive current and/or voltage for relay control using the circuit shown in Figure 3-6.

  • Page 29: General Memory Assignments

    NOTE The term “Base” address in Table 4-1 does not have the same mean- ing for a PCI board, such as the KPCI-PIO96, as for an ISA board. The base address for your KPCI-PIO96 is a memory mapped address, BADDR1, that is assigned by Plug and Play. It is not a fixed, user assigned I/O address such as 0x300 or 0x310.

  • Page 31: Setting Control And Data Registers

    Software manipulation of data registers for an ISA board, via I/O port calls, is straightforward. However, software manipulation of data registers for a PCI board, such as the KPCI-PIO96, is more involved. As mentioned in the chapter introduction, DriverLINX eliminates the need for user interaction with control and data registers.

    In the following procedure, the term “board” always refers to a KPCI-PIO96 board. The procedure never directs you to install or remove any type of PCI board other than a KPCI-PIO96 board. In Figure 5-1 the number in brackets in each flowchart block (e.g .

  • Page 36 KPCI-PIO96 User’s Manual Troubleshooting To further isolate the problem to the KPCI-PIO96 board or to the host computer, use the following steps: 1. Check if board damage is seen on inspection. Proceed as follows: NOTE If more than one KPCI-PIO96 board is installed in your computer, disconnect, remove, and check all KPCI-PIO96 boards.
  • Page 37 Boot the computer and, during boot, determine whether your operating system has identified the OK board as a PCI resource. 11. If KPCI-PIO96 boards were originally installed in other PCI slots, then repeat steps 9 and 10 with the OK board in each of these slots.
  • Page 38 If you have arrived again at step 19 after apparently correcting all program errors in the data acquisition program, the cause of your problem may be outside the scope of these diagnostics. Read the instructions in “Technical support,” and then contact Keithley for help in isolating the cause of your problem.
  • Page 39 Continue with step 22. 22. Check each external I/O connection, one at a time, for short circuits and open circuits. If KPCI-PIO96 boards were installed in more than one PCI slot, check the I/O connections for all boards.

    25b through 25e for each board until you find a faulty board. Replace the faulty board with the OK board. (To repair the faulty board or obtain a new one, contact Keithley as described in “Technical support.”) Then continue with step 27.

  • Page 41: I/O Loop-Back Test

    You insert this connector into one of the KPCI-PIO96 I/O connectors. Then, you use a DriverLINX graphical interface to configure the bits of port A as outputs and ports B and C as inputs. Thereafter, you use this same DriverLINX graphical interface to set two different bit patterns at port A and to check in each case for corresponding bit patterns at ports B and C.
  • Page 42 When wiring the loop-back connections, keep in mind the limited clearance between the KPCI-PIO96 board and other PCI boards. If the KPCI-PIO96 board is adjacent to another PCI board, wire the circuit at the end of a 50-conductor ribbon cable. Make sure that the ribbon cable is long enough.

Insert the loop-back test connector, prepared in step 1, into the board connector designated in Table 5-3. (For connector locations, see Figure 3-2.) If the loop-back circuit is connected via a ribbon cable, feed the cable out through the slot in the mounting bracket.
