® 1. Description The wasco ® interface card OPTOOUT-PCIe32 provides 32 digital STANDARD outputs, every single channel is galvanically isolated. Electrical isolation is granted by special high power optocouplers, which can cope with a switching current of up to 150 mA. Additionally, each output is fitted with protection diodes against harmful voltage peaks.
® 2. Installing the OPTOOUT-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 relevant addresses for OPTOOUT-PCIe32 depend on the base address assigned by the BIOS. You can access to the OPTOIO-PCIe32 by double word access only. For reasons of compatibility the wasco dri- vers process or take into account the 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 (16 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.
