Introduction

The DIO-16 provides 8 optically isolated inputs and 8 reed relay outputs. The inputs (rated for 3-13V) protect the PC and other sensitive equipment from spikes and ground loop current that can be generated in industrial environments, while the outputs provide high quality, long life, low current (10 Watt maximum), dry contact switch closures. Reed relays are well suited for low current applications. The relays are normally open, and will close when energized. The board is PCI bus specification 2.1 compliant.

The DIO-16 is designed to be used with a variety of Operating Systems including Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP, Linux and DOS. The SeaI/O API (Application Programmer Interface) included on CD with the DIO-16 provides a variety of useful high-level function calls implemented as a Windows dynamic link library (DLL) and as a Linux kernel module and library. In addition to the API, SeaI/O includes sample code and utilities to simplify software development.

Card Setup

The DIO-16 contains several jumper straps for each port that must be set for proper operation.

Address Selection

The DIO-16 occupies 4 consecutive I/O locations. The DIP-switch (SW1) is used to set the base address for these locations. Be careful when selecting the base address as some selections conflict with existing PC ports. The following table shows several examples that usually do not cause a conflict.

The following illustration shows the correlation between the DIP-switch setting and the address bits used to determine the base address. In the example below, address 300 is selected as the base address. Address 300 in binary is XX 11 0000 00XX where X = a non-selectable address bit and address bit A9 is always a 1.

DIO-16 User Manual

Programming the DIO-16

Sealevel’s SeaI/O software is provided to assist in the development of reliable applications for the Sealevel Systems family of digital I/O adapters. Included on the SeaI/O CD are driver functions for use in accessing the I/O as well as helpful samples and utilities.

Programming for Windows

The SeaI/O API (Application Programmer Interface) provides a variety of useful high-level function calls implemented in a Windows dynamic link library (DLL). The API is defined in the help file (Start/Programs/SeaIO/SeaIO Help) under “Application Programmers Interface”. This help file also includes detailed information dealing with installation / removal of the software and information about latency, logic states, and device configuration.

For C language programmers we recommend using the API to access the DIO-16. If you are programming in Visual Basic, using the ActiveX control included with SeaI/O is advised.

Samples and Utilities

A variety of sample programs and utilities (both executable and source code) are included with SeaI/O. Further documentation on these samples can be found by selecting “Start/Programs/SeaIO/Sample Application Description”. Information about where the files are physically stored on your disk is also included in this same file.

Programming for Linux

SeaI/O for Linux consists of two major parts: a kernel module and a library. The kernel module is a simple IO pass-through device, allowing the library to handle the more sophisticated functions provided to SeaI/O users. It is provided in a ‘tarball’ format and can easily be compiled and included in the kernel build.

Application Programmers Interface (API)

Most modern operating systems do not allow direct hardware access. The SeaIO driver and API have been included to provide control over the hardware in Windows and Linux environments. The purpose of this section of the manual is to help the customer with the mapping of the API to the actual inputs and relays for the 3093 specifically. Complete documentation of the API can be found in its accompanying help file.

Digital I/O Interface

The DIO-16 provides two parallel input/output (I/O) ports. The ports are organized as ports A, B, C, and D. Port A is an input port interfaced to optically isolated inputs, while port C is the reed relay output port. Ports B and C are unused.

Base Address Hex Decimal Mode

Port A Address 300 768 Optically Isolated Input Port Port B Address 301 769 Unused Port C Address 302 770 Reed Relay Output Port Port D Address 303 771 Unused

DIO-16 User Manual

Input Port

Port A is an eight bit input port connected to optically isolated input sensors. Each sensor can be used to interface a voltage input and then sense whether the voltage is on or off. Each sensor is isolated (with respect to a common ground) from every other sensor, and also isolated with respect to the host PC ground. This means that signals such as low-level AC line voltage, motor servo voltage, and control relay signals can be ‘sensed’, or read by the PC, without the risk of damage due to ground loops or ground faults.

Each sensor input pair has a current limiting resistor that is used to limit the input current to the opto-isolator. The opto-isolator has two ‘back-to-back’ diodes internally. This allows AC or DC signals to be sensed, regardless of polarity. When the applied voltage is high enough to cause the led in the opto-isolator to turn-on, the output of the opto-isolator goes low (0 volts) and the signal is read as a low logic level (binary 0) by the PC. When the input signal is too low to turn on the optoisolator, the output goes high and the port bit is read by the PC as a high logic level (binary 1).

The input impedance of each isolated input is approximately 560 ohms (factory default). The opto-isolator requires approximately 3mA to turn on. The maximum input current is 50mA. There are two things to consider when selecting the input resistor. The first is turn on voltage for the circuit to sense, and second is the maximum input voltage. Maximum input voltage must not provide too much power to the input resistor, and must also not overdrive the opto-isolator input current specification. The following formulas apply:

Turn on Voltage = diode drop + (turn on current) x (resistance)

[Ex: 1.1 + (.003) x R]

Input Current = ((input voltage)-1.1V) / (resistor value)

Maximum voltage = 1.1 + square root of (.25(resistor value))

The following table shows common input resistors and the ranges associated with each.

Input Resistor Turn-On Input Range Max Input Max Current

220Ω 560Ω

1KΩ

2.2KΩ

3.3KΩ

4.7KΩ

1.8V 1.8 – 7.0V 8.5V 27mA

4.1V 4.1 – 13.8V 16.9V 15mA

7.7V 7.7 – 20.0V 24.5V 10mA

10.0V 10.0 – 24.0V 30.0V 9mA

15.2V 15.2 – 28.0V 35.0V 7mA

Note: The turn-off voltage for all resistors is less than 1V.

Increasing the input resistor accordingly can increase the maximum input voltage. Because socketed DIP resistors are utilized, they can easily be replaced with a different value. Sealevel, if necessary can do this.

Important: The input circuits are not intended for monitoring 120-volt AC circuits. In addition to being too high a voltage for the circuits, it is dangerous to have that high a voltage on the card.

Relative Addressing vs. Absolute Addressing

The SeaIO API makes a distinction between “absolute” and “relative” addressing modes. In absolute addressing mode, the Port argument to the API function acts as a simple byte offset from the base I/O address of the device. For instance, Port #0 refers to the I/O address base + 0; Port #1 refers to the I/O address base + 1. Relative addressing mode, on the other hand, refers to input and output ports in a logical fashion. With a Port argument of 0 and an API function meant to output data, the first (0

) output port on the device will be utilized. Likewise, with a Port argument of 0 and an API function designed to input data, the first (0 the device will be utilized.

In all addressing modes, port numbers are zero-indexed; that is, the first port is port #0, the second port is #1, the third #2, and so on.

Direct Hardware Control
