Page 3: Introduction
Introduction The PLC-16.PCI provides 8 Form C relays that can switch and carry 2A loads making it suitable for latching power, data, or other electronic signals for control applications. Eight optically isolated inputs (rated for 5- 30V) are also provided to allow monitoring of off board switch closures, relays or for any other general purpose monitoring needs. -

Page 7: Physical Installation
Replace the screw you removed for the blank and use it to secure the adapter into the slot. (This is required to ensure FCC Part 15 compliance.) Replace the cover. Connect the power cord. The PLC-16.PCI is now ready for use. © Sealevel Systems, Inc. 8011 Manual | SL9014 10/2022... -
Page 8: Programming The Plc-16.Pci
Digital I/O Interface The PLC-16.PCI provides two parallel input/output (I/O) ports. The ports are organized as ports A, B, C, and D. Port A is an input port interfaced to optically isolated inputs, while port C is the relay output port. - Page 9 Because through hole resistors are utilized, they cannot be easily replaced. If modification is necessary, Sealevel can do this for an additional charge. The input circuits are not intended for monitoring 120-volt AC circuits. In addition to being too high a voltage for the circuits, it is dangerous to have that high a voltage on the card.
- Page 10 40,41 Output Ports (Form C Relays) The PLC-16.PCI provides 8 Form C (SPDT) Electro-mechanical relays. These relays have three connections: Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC) and a Common. The relays are all de-energized at power-on. Data to the relays is latched by a write to the base+2 address. On/off status of the relays can be read back by a read at the base+2 address.
- Page 11 (1) on that bit. If an AC or DC voltage is applied, it returns a binary zero (0) on that bit. Writing the Outputs The output ports are the only ports that can be written. The relays on a standard PLC-16.PCI are normally open. To close a relay a binary one (1) must be written to the appropriate bit.

Interrupt Read Reading the Interrupt Status port (Base+5) clears any interrupt pending.

- Page 16 Optional Cable Pin Assignments (Item# CA184) Part Number CA184 is an optional cable for use with the PLC-16.PCI. The CA184 has an HD44 connector that breaks out to one DB37 Female connector for Inputs and one DB37 Male connector for Outputs. This cable was designed to make our products more easily integrated into systems that may have previously used Sealevel legacy I/O interface products.
