  • Page 6: Introduction

    Introduction The DIO-16.LPCIe provides 8 optically isolated inputs and 8 reed relay SPST (single pole-single throw) outputs. The inputs protect the PC and other sensitive equipment from spikes and ground loop current that can be generated in industrial environments, while the outputs provide high quality, long life, low current (10 Watt maximum), dry contact switch closures.

  • Page 9: Physical Installation

    Physical Installation Do not install the PCI express board until the software has been successfully installed. The Sealevel DIO-16-LPCIe can be installed in any PCIe expansion slot (x1/x4/x16). PCI Express x1 Do not install the adapter in the machine until the product software has been fully installed.

    / removal of the software and information about latency, logic states, and device configuration. For C language programmers we recommend using the API to access the DIO-16.LPCIe. If you are programming in Visual Basic, using the ActiveX control included with SeaI/O is advised.
  • Page 11 Writing the Outputs The output ports are the only ports that can be written. The relays on a standard DIO-16.LPCIe are normally open. To close a relay a one must be written to the appropriate bit. Interrupts Interrupts are not currently supported; however they may be added. Contact Sealevel with your requirements.
