2. Setup

Step 3 Installing the Hardware

For using an expansion 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 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 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 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.

Setting with the Add New Hardware Wizard

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

Select “Specify the location of the driver”, then click on the [Next] button.

If you are using Windows NT 4.0, the “Add New Hardware Wizard” is not 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 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 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 XP, 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

Refer to the FAQs in API-DIO HELP and, if you still have a question, contact your retailer with a report
generated by the Diagnosis Report feature of the Diagnosis Program.

3. External Connection

Connecting Input Signals

Connect the input signals to a device which can be current-driven, such as a switch or transistor output
device.

The connection requires an external power supply to feed currents.
The board inputs the ON/OFF state of the current-driven device as a digital value.

The input circuit of this board is illustrated in Figure 3.5. The on-board opto-couplers isolate internal
input circuits from outside devices. The input channels are to be connected with current sinking output
signals. Driving these opto-isolated circuits require an additional power supply isolated from the PC
system. When a 12VDC external power is used, each input channel will consume about 2.6mA current;
when a 24VDC external power supply is selected, each input channel will consume about 5.1mA current.

Figure 3.7. Output Circuit <PIO-64/64L(PCI)>, <PO-128L(PCI)>

The output circuit of this board is illustrated in Figure 3.7. The signal output section is an opto- 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 over-current protector is provided for every eight output transistors. When the over-current
protector works, the output section of the board is temporarily disabled. If this is the case, turn of the

4. Functions

This section describes the functions of the board.

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 <PIO-64/64L(PCI)> and <PO-128L(PCI)> can read the state of the data currently being output
without affecting the output data.

4. Functions

Digital Filter Function of Input Channels

<PIO-64/64L(PCI)>, <PI-128L(PCI)> are equipped with a digital filter function for input signals. This
function provides all input channels with a means of cutting chattering and noise.

Digital Filter Function Principle

To use this function, you must set a filter time. The function circuits will then check all input signals
synchronizing with the clock. A signal level, low or high, will be input only if the signal level remains
stable during the filter set time. Therefore, if a signal level changes faster than the filter set time, this
level change will be ignored and the previous signal level will be input.

Figure 4.1. Digital Filter Function Principle

Set Digital Filter Time

Set the digital filter time to 0 to 24 (14h).
Setting the digital filter time to 0 disables digital filtering. It is set to 0 when the power is turned on.
Table 4.1. shows the relationships between digital filter time settings and the actual digital filter times.

Digital Filter Time[sec.] = 2n / (8 ´ 106)

n: = setting data(0 to 20)

- Writing a setting data other than a "0" will apply this filter function to all input channels. This
function cannot be applied to particular pins only but is applied to all input channels.

- Do not set a data more than 20(14H). Doing so may cause the board malfunctioning.

4. Functions

Interrupt Control Function

The <PIO-64/64L(PCI)> and <PO-128L(PCI)> can use up to 16 channels of input signals as interrupt
request signals. The input signals available as interrupt request signals are I-00 to I-17.

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, all of the interrupt edge select bits are set to 0 so that an interrupt
occurs when the input value changes from 0 to 1 (at the fall of the input signal from High to Low).

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.
