Step 3 Installing the Hardware

For using an extension board under Windows, you have to let the OS detect the I/O addresses and IRQ
to be used by the board. The process is referred to as installing the hardware.

In the case of using two or more boards, make sure you install one by one with the Found New
Hardware Wizard.

Turning on the PC

Turn on the power to your PC.

CAUTION

- The board cannot be properly installed unless the resources (I/O addresses and interrupt level) for
the board can be allocated. Before attempting to install the board, first determine what PC
resources are free to use.

- The resources used by each board do not depend on the location of the PCI Express bus slot or the
board itself. If you remove two or more boards that have already been installed and then remount
one of them on the computer, it is unknown that which one of the sets of resources previously
assigned to the two boards is assigned to the remounted board. In this case, you must check the
resource settings.

When Using API-DIO(WDM)

(1) The “Found New Hardware Wizard” will be started.

Step 5 Checking Operations with the Diagnosis Program

Use the diagnosis program to check that the board and driver software work normally, thereby you can
confirm that they have been set up correctly.

What is the Diagnosis Program?

The diagnosis program diagnoses the states of the board and driver software.
It can also be used as a simple checker when an external device is actually connected.
Using the “Diagnosis Report” feature reports the driver settings, the presence or absence of the board,
I/O status, and interrupt status.

Check Method

Connect the board to a remote device to test the input/output and check the execution environment.
For this board, an external power supply is not required.
The Check Mate (CM-64(PC)E) comes in handy when you check d igital I/O bo ard s .
Check the board with the factor defaults untouched.

Setup Troubleshooting

Symptoms and Actions

No output can be obtained.
Use API-TOOL Configuration to check whether the board name setting is wrong.

The board works with the Diagnosis Program but not with an application.
The Diagnosis Program is coded with API-TOOL functions. As long as the board operates with the

Diagnosis Program, it is to operate with other applications as well. In such cases, review your program
while paying attention to the following points:

- Check the arguments to functions and their return values.

- When the board is an isolated type, it has a time lag for its response between the output by a
function and the actual output. Consider the execution intervals between functions.

The OS won’t normally get started or detect the board.
[Windows Vista, XP, Server 2003, 2000]

Turn off the power to your PC, then unplug the board . Restart the OS and delete the board settings of
API-TOOL Configuration. Turn off the PC again, plug the board, and restart the OS. Let the OS
detect the board and use API-TOOL Configuration to register board settings.

If your problem cannot be resolved

Contact your retailer.

3. External Connection

Surge Protection

When connecting to digital outputs a load that may generate a voltage surge or current, for example an
inductive load such as a relay coil or incandescent lamp, suitable protection measures are required to
prevent damage to the output stage or malfunction owing to noise. The instantaneous interruption of
current flowing through a coil, including a relay, results in the sudden generation of a high-voltage pulse.
If the voltage exceeds the withstand voltage of the transistor, the transistor performance may be
degraded or the transistor may be damaged. To prevent this, be sure to connect a surge absorption
element when driving an inductive load including a relay coil. Examples of measures against voltage
surge are shown in Figure 3.12. below.

CAUTION

The protection circuit must be installed less than 50 cm from the load and contact to provide

effective protection.

A Protection Function of the +5V Outputs

A protection function, which prevents excessive current flow from the +5V outputs, is attached to this
board. In case of accidental short of the +5V output and GND, for example, the function works, and
the board operation may become impossible temporarily. In such a case, you should turn the PC off
and wait for several minutes before you use the board again.

4. Function

This section describes the features of the board.
Each function described here can be easily set and executed by using the bundled API function library.

For details, refer to API-DIO HELP available after installation.

Data I/O Function

Data Input

When input data is “ON”, “1” is input to the relevant bit.
When the input data is “OFF”, in contrast, “0” is input to the relevant bit

Data Output

When “1” is output to the relevant bit, the corresponding transistor is set to “ON”.
When “0” is output to the relevant bit, in contrast, the corresponding transistor is set to “OFF”.

CAUTION

When the PC is turned on, all output are reset to 0 (OFF).

Monitoring Output Data

The <DIO-3232T-PE>, <DO-64T-PE> can read the state of the data currently being output without
affecting the output data.

4. Function

Digital Filter Function

Using this feature, the <DIO-3232T-PE>, <DI-64T-PE> can apply a digital filter to every input pin,
thereby preventing wrong recognition of input signals from being affected by noise or chattering.

Digital Filter Function Principle

The digital filter checks the input signal level during
the sampling time of the clock signal. When the

Input Signal

Digital
Filter

Filter Setting Time

Input to PC

signal level remains the same for the digital filter set
time, the digital filter recognizes that signal as the
input signal and changes the signal level of the PC
If the signal level changes at a frequency shorter than
the set time, therefore, the level change is ignored.

Set Digital Filter Time

Set the digital filter time to 0 - 20 (14h).
Setting the digital filter time to 0 disables digital filtering. It is set to 0 when the power is turned on.
Figure 4.2 shows the relationships between digital filter time settings and the actual digital filter times.

4. Function

Interrupt Control Function

The <DIO-3232T-PE>, <DI-64T-PE> can use 32channels of the input signals as interrupt request
signals.

This product can generate an interrupt request signal to the PC when the input signal change from High
to Low or from Low to High.

When the digital filter (described above) is used, interrupt requests are generated by input signals that
have passed through the filter.

Disabling/enabling Interrupts

Interrupt mask bits can be used to disable or enable the individual bits for interruptions.
Once a certain bit has been interrupt-disabled, no interrupt occurs even when the corresponding input
signal changes its level.
To let interrupts occur, enable the corresponding interrupt mask bit for interruptions.

CAUTION

All of the interrupt mask bits are interrupt-disabled when the power is turned on.

Selecting the Edge of input signals, at which to generate an iterrupt

The input signal edge selection bit can be used to set the input logic for interruption bit by bit.
If you set an input signal edge selection bit to 0, an interrupt occurs when the input value to the
corresponding bit changes from 0 to 1 (at the fa ll of th e inpu t s ign al from High to Low).
If you set an input signal edge selection bit to 1, an interrupt occurs when the input value to the
corresponding bit changes from 1 to 0 (at the rise of th e inpu t s i gn al from Low to High).

CAUTION

All of the input signal edge selection bits are set to 0 when the power is turned on.

Clearing the Interrupt Status and Interrupt Signal

Interrupt status bits are used to identify the input signal bit being used for requesting an interrupt.
When an interrupt status is input, the interrupt request signal and the interrupt status are cleared
automatically.

CAUTION

- All of the interrupt status bits are set to 0 when the power is turned on.

- If an interrupt mask bit has been set to disable interrupts, the interrupt status bit is not set even
when the input signal changes its level.
