Step 3 Installing the Hardware
For using an expansion board un der Windows, you hav e to let the OS detect the I/O addre sses 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, m ake sure y ou install one by one with the Fo und Ne w 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 t o install the boar d, first determ ine what PC resources
are free to use.
- The resources used by each b oard do not depen d on the location o f the PCI bus slot or the board itse lf.
If you remove two or more boar ds that h ave alr eady b een in stalle d and the n rem ount one of them o n
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.

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 si mple ch ec ker wh en an ex te rn al d ev i ce i s ac tu al l y con ne ct ed .
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 text the input/output and check the execution environment.
For this board, prepare an external power supply (12 - 24 V).
The Check Mate (CM-64 (PC)E) comes in handy when you check digital I/O boards.
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 isolat ed type, it has a tim e lag for its r esponse between the o utput 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 th e bo ard. 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.

Figure 3.7. Output Circuit <PIO-32/32L(PCI)H>, <PO-64L(PCI)H>
The output circuits of interface blocks of the PIO-32/32L(PCI)H and PO-64L(PCI)H are illustrated in
Figure 3.7. The signal output section is an opto-coupler isolated, open-collector output (current sink
type). Driving the output section requires an external power supply.
The rated output current per channel is 100 mA at maximum.
The output section can also be connected to a TTL level input as it uses a low-saturated transistor for
output. The residual voltage (low-level voltage) between the collector and emitter with the output on is
0.5 V or less at an output current within 50 mA or at most 1.0 V at an output current within 100 mA.
A zener diode is connected to the output transistor for protection from surge voltages. A PolySwitch-
based overcurrent protector is provided for every eight output transistors. When the overcurrent
protector works, the output section of the board is temporarily disabled. If this is the case, turn of th e
power to the PC and the external power supply and wait for a few minutes, then turn them on back.
CAUTION
When the PC is turned on, all output are reset to OFF.

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, a ll output are reset to 0 (OFF).
Monitoring Output Data
The <PIO-32/32L(PCI)H> and <PO-64L(PCI)H> can read the state of the data currently being output
without affecting the output data.

4. Function
Digital Filter Function
Using this feature, the < PIO-32/32L(PCI)H > and < PI-64L(PCI)H > 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
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, there fore, the level cha nge is ignored.

4. Function
Interrupt Control Function
The PIO-32/32L(PCI)H can use all of the input signals as interrupt request signals.
The <PI-64L(PCI)> can use up to 32 channels of input signals as interrupt request signals. The input
signals available as interrupt request signals are I-00 - I-37.
The board 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 inp ut signal edge sele ct ion bit to 0, an interrupt occurs when the input value to the
corresponding bit changes from 0 to 1 (at the fall of the input signal from High to Low).
If you set an inp u t s ignal edge selection bit to 1, an interrupt occurs when the input valu e to the
corresponding bit changes from 1 to 0 (at the rise of the input signal from Low to High).
CAUTION
All of the input signal edge selection bits are set to 0 when the power is turned on.

4. Function
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 e ven whe n
the input signal changes its level.
