Introduction - SeaLevel DIO-32.PCIe User Manual

Introduction

Overview
The DIO-32.PCIe digital I/O interface provides 16 optically isolated inputs and 16 reed relay 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. Reed relays are well suited for low current applications. The relays
are normally open, and close when energized.
The SeaI/O Classic software drivers and utilities can be obtained from the Sealevel web site. They make
installation and operation easy using Windows 7, Vista, and XP operating systems. The SeaI/O API
(Application Programmer Interface) provides a variety of useful high-level function calls implemented as a
Windows dynamic link library (DLL) and as a Linux kernel module and library. SeaI/O also includes sample
code and utilities to simplify software development.
The inputs on the 8004e are rated for 3-13V. The inputs on the 8004He are rated for 10-30V.
