Card Setup

The REL-32 contains several jumper straps for each port that must be set for proper operation.

Address Selection

The REL-32 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.

Address Binary Switch Settings

1 2 3 4 5 6

280-283 000010 Off On Off On On On

288-28A 100010 Off On Off On Off On

2A0-2A3 010100 Off On Off Off Off On

328-32B 100101 Off Off On On On On

330-333 100110 Off Off On On Off On

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 XXX 100000 XXX where X = a non-selectable address bit and address bit A9 is always a 1.

Address Selection Table

DIP-Switch Illustration

Note: Setting the switch ‘On’ or ‘Closed’ corresponds to a ‘0’ in the address, while leaving it ‘Off’ or ‘Open’ corresponds to a ‘1’.

REL-32 User Manual

Programming the REL-32

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 REL-32. 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.

Digital I/O Interface

The REL-32 provides four parallel Reed Relay output ports. The ports are organized as 1, 2, and 3, 4.

Output Ports (Reed Relay)

Reed relays provide very high quality, long life, low power, dry contact switch closures. Reed relays are not suited for high current applications, and can be destroyed by capacitive or inductive load switching. The relays are normally open, and close when energized.

Connector and Jumper Pin Out

Each relay has two sides, an A-side and B-side. Each side is connected to two places: the cable, and the jumpers on the top of the board. The tables on the following pages provide the pin outs for the two DB-37 cable ends and the onboard jumpers.

REL-32 User Manual

Jumper Setup Options

The common on each port may be tied to ground, 5, or 12 volts. Either side of each relay may then be tied to the common. The 3098 is shipped with all of the jumpers necessary for all possible configurations. The jumpers are parked on the B-side and are inactive until configured by the user. An example configuration is shown below:

Port 4: The common is tied to ground (GND).

The A-side of port-4 relay 3 (K27) is tied to the common.

The B-side of port-4 relay 6 (K30) is tied to the common.

Port 3: The common is tied to ground (GND). The A-side of port-3 relay 2 (K18) is tied to the common. The A-side of port-3 relay 5 (K21) is tied to the common.

Port 2: The common is tied to 5 volts. The B-side of port-2 relay 4 (K12) is tied to the common.
