Selecting Power Supply

The photo-insulation circuits need power supply isolated fro m the PC system. This board equips an on board isolated power supply (12VDC, 250mA) for driving photo-insulation circuits. You can select to use this internal power supply or use an external power supply for driving the photo-insulation circuits in unit of two ports (16 channels) per common.
CAUTION
- When the internal power supply is used, the input section of this board consumes up to 80mA current maximum and the output channe l switching sec tion consum es up to 60mA cur rent maxim um. Note that the output current that can be sup plied to the external device is therefore 110mA m aximum in case you use internal power supply for all the input and output channels.
- The both internal and external supply must not be used sim ultaneously. Or the supply will be broke n down.
Setting method Jumpers JP2 - JP9 are used to select the power supply for photo-insulation circuits. Refer following

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, make sure you install one by one with the Add 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 t o install the boar d, first determ ine what PC resources are free to use.
- The resources used by each board do not depe nd on the location of the PCI bus slot or the boar d itself. If you remove two or more boar ds that h ave alre ady 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.

Setting with the Found New Hardware Wizard

(1) The “Found New Hardware Wizard” will be started.
Select “Install from a list or specific location[Advanced]”, then click on the [Next] button.

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 text the input/output and check the execution environment. For this board, prepare an external power supply (12 to 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

The board cannot be initialized [Windows NT 4.0 The driver may not yet be activated. When using the board under an OS not compliant with Plug and Play, such as Windows NT 4.0, make
sure that the [PnP OS] BIOS option has been set to [NO], [disable], or [Do not use]. If the option has been set to [Windows 95], for example, the board may not be detected normally. For details on BIOS settings, refer to the user’s guide for your PC.
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 re sponse 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 XP 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.

Figure 3.6. Output Circuit <PIO-32/32B(PCI)V>
The output circuits of interface blocks of the PIO-32/32B(PCI)V are illustrated in Figure 3.6. The signal output section is an opto-coupler isolated, open-collector output (current sink type). Driving the output section requires an additional power supply isolated from the PC system. The board offers you an on­board isolated 12VDC power supply in option.
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 .

4. Function

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 ar e reset to 0 (OFF).

Monitoring Output Data

The <PIO-32/32B(PCI)V> can read the state of the data currently being output without affecting the output data.

4. Function

Digital Filter

Using this feature, the PIO-32/3 2B(PCI)V can apply a digital filter to ever y input pin, thereb y preventing the input signal 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 digi tal 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.

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 turn ed on . Figure 4.2 shows the relationships between digital filter time settings and the actual digital filter times.

CAUTION
- If you set the digital filter time, the filter applies to all in put pins. You cannot a pply the filter only to a specific filter.
- Do not set Setting Data to a value outside the above range as doing so can cause the board to malfunction.

Interrupt Control Function

The PIO-32/32B(PCI)V can use all of the input signals as interrupt request signals. 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 Interrupt Edge

Interrupt edge select bits can be used to set the input logic for interruption bit by bit. If you set an interrupt edge select 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 interrupt edge select bit to 1, an interrupt occurs when the input value to the corresponding
bit changes from 1 to 0 (at the rise of the input signal from Low to High).
CAUTION
When the power is turned on, a ll of th e inte rrup t edge select bits are set to 0 so that an interrupt occurs when the input valu e cha ng es fr o m 0 to 1 (at the f al l of th e inpu t signa l from High to Low).

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 i s not set even when the input signal changes its level.
