1. Befo re Using the Product
This chapter provides informati on you should know before using the product.
About the Board
This product is a PCI Express bus-compliant interface board that extends the digital signal I/O
functions of a PC.
DIO-3232L-P E i s a 12 - 24VDC opto-coupler isolated type with opto-coupler isolated input 32ch and
opto-coupler isolated open-collector output 32ch. You can use all of the input signals as interrupt
inputs. Equipped with the digital filter function and output transistor protection circuit (surge voltage
protection and overcurrent protection).
DI-64L-PE i s a 12 - 24VDC opto-coupl er isolated type with input 64ch. You can use 32ch of the input
signals as interrupt inputs. In addition, digital filter function to prevent wrong recognition of input
signals i s provided.
DO-64L-PE is a 12 - 24VDC opto-coupler isolated type with open-collector output 64ch. Equi pped with
the output transistor protection circuit (surge voltage protection and overcurrent protection).
Windows/Linux driver is bundled with this product.
Features
Opto-coupler isolated input (supporting current sink output) and opto-cou pler isolated open-collector
output (current sink type)
DIO-3232L-PE has the opto-coupler isolated input 32ch ( supporting current sink output) whose
response speed is 200µsec and opto-coupler isolated open-collector output 32ch (current sink type).
DI-64L-PE has the opto-coupler isolated input 64ch (supporting current sink output) whose response
speed is 200µsec.
DO-64L-PE h a s the opto-cou pler isolated open-coll ect or out put 64ch (supporting current sink output)
whose response speed i s 200µsec.
Common terminal provided per 16ch, capable of supporting a different external power supply
Supporting driver voltages of 12 - 24 VD C fo r I /O
Opto-coupler bus isolation
As the PCI Express bu s (PC) is isolated from the input and output interfaces by opto-couplers, this
product has excellent noise perfor ma nce.
You can use all of the input signals as interrupt request signals.
You can use all of the 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.

Windows/Linux compatible driver libraries are attached.
Using the attached driver library API-PAC(W32) makes i t p ossi bl e to create applications of
Windows/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.
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.
The output circuit, has a built-in Zener diode and the overcurrent protection circuit of the surge
voltage protection.

Step 1 Installing the Software
This section describes how to install the Driver libraries.
Before installing the hardware in a PC, install "Driver Library API-PAC(W32)" from the
bun dl ed media or do wn load and install the latest edition of this software from the CONTEC web
site.
Although some user interfaces are different depending on the OS used, the basic procedure is the
same.
About t h e driver to be used
Two Digital I/O drivers are available : API-DIO(WDM) and API-DIO(98/PC).
When using this product, use the advanced digital I/O driver "API-DIO(WDM)". The following
information is focused on setting up API-DIO(WDM).
If API -DI O(98/PC) usi n g ex i st in g syste m s co nt i nu e t o u se AP I -DIO(98/PC).
Please note that the A P I -D IO(98/PC ) does not support Windows 8 or later, and the 64-bit OS.
Use the API-DIO(98/PC)
