Preface The PIO-32 Series User’s Guide explains how to install, cable, wire, program, and use the PIO-32 Series isolated, digital input and output (I/O) boards. This guide serves data acquisition system designers, engineers, technicians, programmers, scientists, and other users responsible for setting up, cabling, wiring, and programming the PIO-32 Series boards.

Appendix B lists the connector pin assignments. Appendix C provides a register map, for background reference only (you program the PIO-32 Series boards through the DriverLINX interface, not at the register-level). An index completes this guide.

PIO-32I/O, which provides 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs PIO-32IN, which provides 32 digital inputs PIO-32OUT, which provides 32 digital outputs The major features of all PIO-32 Series boards include the following: Input level (if included) of 3.5VDC to 28VDC Output relay contacts (if included), Form A, 0.75A at 30V RMS,...
Important Safety Instructions Each PIO-32 Series board bears a warning symbol that corresponds to the information in this section. Follow these steps when preparing to install your PIO-32 board: 1. Read the warnings in this section. 2. When installing, cabling, and wiring your board, heed the warnings marked on the board and described in this section, and follow the instructions in Sections 3 and 4.
Supporting Software DriverLINX software is supplied by Keithley with the PIO-32 Series board. DriverLINX provides convenient interfaces to configure and set I/O bits without register-level programming. Most importantly, however, DriverLINX supports those programmers who wish to create custom applications using Visual C/C++, Visual Basic, or Delphi.
DriverLINX is essentially hardware independent, because its portable APIs work across various operating systems. This capability eliminates unnecessary programming when changing operating system platforms. Accessories The optional accessories for the PIO-32 Series boards include screw terminal panels (STPs) and cables (C-3200/C-32NN) that convert from the ribbon headers on the board to the 37-D male cable connectors.
Functional Description This section describes the general layout of the PIO-32 Series boards and provides schematics of the typical input and output circuits. The PIO-32 Series boards are channel-to-channel isolated and handle digital voltages in a broader range than standard TTL levels. Optional accessories for the board include screw terminal panels (STPs) and the C-3200 cables.
Input Circuitry The PIO-32I/O has 16 digital input channels and uses the J1 ribbon header (channels 0 to 15). The PIO-32IN has 32 digital input channels and uses the J1 and J2 ribbon headers (channels 0 to 31). Figure 2-2 shows each input channel schematically.
Output Circuitry The PIO-32I/O has 16 digital output channels and uses the J2 ribbon header (channels 16 to 31). The PIO-32OUT has 32 digital output channels and uses the J1 and J2 ribbon headers (channels 0 to 31). Figure 2-3 shows the output channels schematically. The output channels are reed relays (form A) rated to 10W at 0.75A or 30V RMS, 42.4V peak,...
Setup and Installation The procedures in this section are intended for qualified Warning: service personnel. Do not perform these procedures unless you are qualified to do so. Overview This section describes the following: Inventorying installation resources. Installing the DriverLINX software needed to operate your PIO-32 board.
Note: Install the DriverLINX software before installing the PIO-32 board. Otherwise, the device drivers will be more difficult to install. Inventorying Required Installation Resources Before installing DriverLINX and the board, do the following: 1. Inventory your PIO-32 board’s configuration settings. 2.
Installing DriverLINX Software and Documentation Even if DriverLINX versions other than the PIO Series version are Note: already installed on your system, you must also install the PIO Series DriverLINX version. In the process, some DriverLINX capabilities shared by all boards may be upgraded (test utilities, for example). This section discusses installation of drivers, interfaces, and documentation.

Configuring Your Installation 1. Locate and briefly review the manual section, “Configuring the PIO Series,” that you printed earlier during step 9 of “Installing DriverLINX Software and Documentation.” Reviewing this section will help prepare you to input information and select options when configuring your installation.
Preparing and Installing Your Board Ensure that the computer is turned OFF before installing or Caution: removing a board. Installing or removing a board while power is ON can damage your computer, the board, or both. Handle the board in a static-controlled workstation; wear a grounded wrist strap.
Before setting the base address switches, check the different Note: requirements for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. Refer to “Configuring the PIO Series” in Using DriverLINX with Your Hardware—Keithley PIO Series manual, which you printed in step 9 of “Installing the DriverLINX Software.”...
60VDC to any input or output on this board. Live voltages can still be present on the board even when the computer is turned off. To protect you and the circuit, Keithley provides covers with the PIO-32 Series boards. Though you can remove the covers to service the PIO-32 Series boards, do not use these boards with the covers removed! In addition, disconnect all cables when servicing these boards.
Page 31
To install the board, perform the following steps: 1. Turn power to the computer and all attached equipment OFF. 2. Remove the computer chassis cover. 3. Select an available slot appropriate to the length of the board. 4. Loosen and remove the screw at the top of the blank adapter plate, and then slide the plate up and out to remove.
Checking Your Installation The ability to start the DriverLINX AIO Panel utility, which is available after you install DriverLINX, verifies that DriverLINX and the board are installed and configured satisfactorily. You can also test the functions of the PIO-32 board, without needing to write an application program, by connecting appropriate digital signals and observing the responses with the DriverLINX AIO Panel.
c. Click on the AIO Panel entry. The Analog I/O Panel should appear, similar to the example in Figure 3-2. (If you have other DriverLINX devices installed in addition to the digital input/output card you are testing, they will also be listed. In that case, select the desired digital I/O card and the proper device number before proceeding.) Figure 3-2.

Note: The on-screen digital I/O controller works as follows: Channels 0 to 15 refer to the 8-bit general-purpose registers of your digital input-output card. (Depending on which card is used, the number of valid 8-bit registers will vary.) Bits displayed on the Digital Input Panel and the Digital Output Panel are numbered 0-7 for every channel.

Repeat steps 13, 14, and 15 for additional output channels. Input Read Test A similar test of input circuitry can be performed by applying an input signal of suitable type to each input line and verifying that the appropriate...
Cabling and Wiring The procedures in this section are intended for qualified Warning: service personnel. Do not perform these procedures unless you are qualified to do so. After installing your PIO-32 Series boards, you can attach accessories and wire the appropriate signals to the board. This section includes the following information about cabling and wiring the PIO-32 Series boards: Description and illustration of the optional C-3200/C-32NN cables for the PIO-32 Series boards...
Optional Cables Do not use the C-3200/C-32NN cables at voltages above Warning: 30V RMS, 42.4V peak, or 60VDC. These cables are rated for 30V RMS, 42.4V peak, or 60VDC maximum. Use at higher voltages may result in insulation breakdown and shock hazard. To connect the PIO-32 Series boards to screw terminal panel accessories or other equipment, you need additional cables.

Programming You do not program the registers of your PIO-32 Series board directly through Windows 95/98/NT. Instead, you program register changes through the application programming interface (API) of DriverLINX. DriverLINX is provided on the CD-ROM that comes with your board and should now be installed on your system.
