Introduction
The DIO-32.PCIe digital I/O interface provides 16 optically isolated inputs and 16
reed relay outputs. The inputs 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 close when energized.
The SeaI/O Classic software drivers and utilities are included on the CD and make
installation and operation easy using Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Linux operating
systems. The SeaI/O API (Application Programmer Interface) 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. SeaI/O also includes sample code
and utilities to simplify software development.
The inputs on the 8004e are rated for 3-13V. The inputs on the 8004He are rated for
10-30V.

Cables
DB37 Male to DB37 Female Extension Cable
(Item# CA112)
) or by calling (864) 843-4343.
This cable provides a 6’ extension to the CA165. It has
one DB37 Male connector and one DB37 Female
connector.
DB78 Male to DB78 Female Extension Cable
(CA233)
This cable provides a 6’ extension to the DB78 board
connector on the 8004e. It has one DB78 Male
connector and one DB78 Female connector.
DB78M to DB37 Female and DB37 Male, for 3093
(Item# CA378)
The CA378 is designed specifically for customers using
the 3093 ISA digital I/O board that need to upgrade to
the 8004e PCIe board while preserving existing
infrastructure wiring. The CA378 connects to the 8004e
and provides an identical pin out to the 3093.
Terminal Blocks
DB37 Terminal Block (Item# TB02)
Break out serial and digital connectors to screw
terminals for easy field connection. The TB02 terminal
block is designed with both DB37 male and female
connectors for interfacing the inputs or outputs.

Linux Installation
Licensing Information
How to Install
This package contains two components - a Linux kernel-mode device driver
and an Application Programmer's Interface. To provide the most flexible
licensing scheme, the driver is released under the GNU General Public
License version 3 while the API is released under the GNU Lesser General
Public License, also version 3. Copies of each license are located in the dox/
directory.
Modification of the configuration scripts, makefiles, or installation tools
contained in this package to support a specific platform does not constitute
creating a modified copy or a derived work.
This suite of software has been tested on Debian GNU/Linux; if you intend
to compile it on other platforms, please check the Makefile parameters
described below to ensure our software is installed to the correct locations on
your system.
In order to install the SeaIO suite, you need GNU Make (available with most
distributions) "http://www.gnu.org/software/make/". You will also need the
GCC and G++ compilers. The version is dependent on your kernel version.
The README included with your kernel source should recommend a
version known to compile properly. The SeaIO suite was developed with
GCC-2.95 on the 2.4.X kernel series and GCC-3.33 on the 2.6.X kernel
series.
You need to have compiled kernel source in /usr/src/linux, or point the KDIR
variable in the Makefile to the location of your kernel source, for the module
to compile properly. The process varies from one distribution to another and,
you should consult your distribution's particular documentation. All kernel
source obtained from http://kernel.org contains a README file detailing the
compilation process.
To install everything: simply "make install" as root from the directory where
you untarred seaio.tar.gz.
Once the kernel module is installed, running "seaioload" will create the
appropriate nodes in /dev (dio0, dio1, etc ...) Note that you will have to rerun
the "seaioload" script each time you reboot or you may add the appropriate
commands to your startup scripts.

Optional make commands:
Optional make parameters:
"make" or "make subdirs": this option will build all binaries, but will not
copy them to the locations described below.
"make objs": this option is similar to "make subdirs", but instead of building
executables, only objects will be created.
"make clean": this option removes all the build/executable files in the
working SeaIo directory. Installed files remain on your system.
"make uninstall": this option removes files that were previously installed to
the locations described below.
"make cleaninstall": removes any previous build files then performs a fresh
install. Everything is built from source again.
"make purge": removes installed files and build files in one command.
(exactly like performing "make uninstall" then "make clean")
(you may either manually edit them in the Makefile or pass them at run time
like so: "make install KDIR=/<PATH_TO_SOURCE>/")
KDIR= /usr/src/linux
This is the path to configured kernel source.
MODDIR= /lib/modules/<KERNEL_VERSION>/kernel/drivers/mi
sc
This is the path that the kernel module is installed to. If you modify this, you
must also modify the "seaioload" script's MODDIR variable.
SUTILDIR= /usr/local/sbin
This is the location where the "seaioload" and "seaiounload" scripts are
installed by default. You must also modify the "seaioload" script's
SUTILDIR.
UTILDIR= /usr/local/bin
This is where any standard utilities are installed.
LIBDIR= /usr/local/lib
This is where the SeaIO API library is installed. (libseaio.a)
INCLUDDIR= /usr/local/include
This is where the seaio header files will be installed.
CONFIGDIR= /etc
seaio.conf will live here. This file is consulted by "seaioload", so if you
change this, modify the CONFIGDIR variable in "seaioload".
