1. Before Using the Product
1. Before Using the Product
This chapter provides information you should know before using the product.
About the Board
This product is a PCI Expre ss bu s-complia nt inter face boar d used t o pro vide a di gital signal I/ O functi on
on a PC.
This product can input and output digital signals at 12 - 24VDC.
DIO-6464L-PE features 64 Optocoupler isolated inputs and 64 Optocoupler isolated open-collector
outputs. You can use 16 input signals as interrupt inputs. In addition, the digital filter function to prevent
wrong recognition of input signals is provided and output transistor protection circuit (surge voltage
protection and overcurrent protection).
DI-128L-PE features 128 Optocoupler isolated inputs. You can use 16 input signals as interrupt inputs.
In addition, the digital filter function to prevent wrong recognition of input signals is provided.
DO-128L-PE features 128 Optocoupler isolated open-collector outputs. In addition, output transistor
protection circuit (surge voltage protection and overcurrent protection).
Windows/Linux driver is bundled with this p rodu ct.
Possible to be used as a data recording device for LabVIEW, with dedicated libraries.
Features
- Optocoupler isolated inputs (compatible with current sink output), and Optocoupler isolated
open-collector outputs (current sink type)
DIO-6464L-PE has the 64 channels of Optocoupler isolated input (compatible with current sink output)
and 64 channels Optocoupler isolated open-collector output (current sink type) whose res ponse speed is
200µsec. Common terminal provided per 16 channels, capable of supporting a different external power
supply. Supporting driver voltages of 12 - 24 VDC for I/O.
DI-128L-PE has the 128 channels of Optocoupler isolated input (compatible with current sink output)
whose response speed is 200µsec. Common terminal provided per 16 channels, capable of supporting a
different external power supply. Supporting driver vo ltages of 12 - 24 VDC fo r I/O.
DO-128L-PE has the 128 channels of Optocoupler isolated open-collector output (current sink type)
whose response speed is 200µsec. Common ter minal provided p er 16 ch annels , cap ab le of supporting a
different external power supply. Supporting driver vo ltages of 12 - 24 VDC fo r I/O.
- Optocoupler bus isolation
As the PC is isolated from the input and output interfaces by Optocoupler, this product has excellent
noise performance.
- You can use 16 input signals as interrupt request signals. (For DIO-6464L-PE, DI-128L-PE only)
You can use 16 input signals as interrupt request signals and also disable or enable the interrupt in bit
units and select the edge of the input signals, at which to generate an interrupt.

1. Before Using the Product
- Windows/Linux compatible driver libraries are attached.
Using the attached driver library API-PAC(W32) makes it possible to create applications of
Window/Linux. In addition, a diagnostic program by which the operations of hardware can be checked
is provided.
- This product has a digital filter to prevent wrong recognition of input signals from carrying noise or
a chattering. (For DIO-6464L-PE, DI-128L-PE only)
This product has a digital filter to prevent wrong recognition of input signals from carrying noise or a
chattering. All input terminals can be added a digital filter, and the setting can be performed by
software.
- Output circuits include zener diodes for surge voltage protection and poly-switches for overcurrent
protection. (DIO-6464L-PE, DO-128L-PE only)
Zener diodes are connected to the output circuits to protect against surge voltages. Similarly,
polyswitches are fitted to each group of 8 channels outputs for over-current protection.
Output rating : max 35VDC, 100mA per pin.

2. Setup
2. Setup
This chapter explains how to set up the board.
What is Setup?
Setup means a series of steps to take before the product can be used.
Different steps are required for software and hardware.
The setup procedure varies with the OS and applications used.
Using the Board under Windows
Using the Driver Library API-PAC(W32)
This section describes the setup procedure to be performed before you can start developing application
programs for the board using the bundled CD-ROM “Driver Library API-PAC(W32)”.
Taking the following steps sets up the software and hardware. You can use the diagnosis program later
to check whether the software and hardware function normally.
Step 1 Installing the Software
Step 2 Setting the Hardware
Step 3 Installing the Hardware
Step 4 Initializing the Software
Step 5 Checking Operations with the Diagnosis Program
If Setup fails to be performed normally, see the “Setup Troubleshooting” section at the end of this
chapter.
Using the Board under Windows
Using Software Other than the Driver Library API-PAC(W32)
For setting up software other than API-PAC(W32), refer to the manual for that software. See also the
following parts of this manual as required.

2. Setup
Step 1 Installing the Software
This section describes how to install the Driver libraries.
Before installing the hardware on your PC, install the Driver libraries from the bundled API-PAC(W32)
CD-ROM.
The following description assumes the operating system as Windows XP. Although some user
interfaces are different depending on the OS used, the basic procedure is the same.
About the driver to be used
Two digital I/O drivers are available : API-DIO(WDM) and API-DIO(98/PC).
API-DIO(WDM) is a new driver to perform digital I/O under Windows.
API-DIO(WDM) was developed to improve the conventional product version of API-DIO(98 /PC) in the
ease of use and functionality.
It is advisable to use API-DIO(WDM) for you to use an digital I/O device. API-DIO(WDM) will
support new OS and devices in the future but will not support Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, ISA bus.
Use API-DIO(98/PC) if your operating environment contains such an unsupported piece of software or
hardware.
