The PIO-96.PCI part number 8009 digital I/O interface provides 96 channels of
buffered drive digital I/O emulating 8255 mode zero. The PIO-96.PCI can be
utilized for a variety of control and automation applications including control and
monitoring of TTL devices (e.g. LEDs, small solenoids, small relays) and
interfacing to solid-state relay racks (SSRs) for high-power AC or DC loads.
The PIO-96.PCI’s 96 digital I/O channels are accessed via four 50-pin header
connectors with industry-standard pin out. Each header provides 24 bits of digital
I/O divided into three eight-bit groups. Each eight-bit group may be individually
configured via software command as input or output to best match your particular
application requirements.
The PIO-96.PCI 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 PIO-96.PCI 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.
The PIO-96.PCI is shipped with the following items. If any of these items is missing
or damaged please contact Sealevel for replacement.

For TTL applications:
Terminal Block Kit - (Part Number KT107)
− Kit includes the TB07 screw terminal block and CA167 ribbon cable
for connecting one of the PIO-96.PCI’s 50-pin header connectors to
your I/O. 6” Snap track and DIN rail clips are included for DIN rail
mounting.
) or by calling
IDC 50 to IDC 50 Pin 40" Ribbon Cable (Part Number CA167)
− Interfaces each of the PIO-96.PCI’s 50-pin header connectors to your
I/O.
Simulation/debug module (Part Number TA01)
− Module allows monitoring status of output pins and controlling state
of input pins. An LED corresponding to each port bit illuminates to
indicate state. Eight position DIP-switches are used to generate input
status changes.
IDC 50 to IDC 50 Pin Ribbon Cable (Part Number CA167)
− 40” cable connects the PIO-96.PCI to solid-state relay racks equipped
with 50-pin header interface.
IDC 50 to IDC 50 Pin Ribbon Cable (Part Number CA135)
− 40” cable connects the PIO-96.PCI to solid-state relay racks equipped
with 50-pin edge connector.

• Quad six position relay rack (Part Number PB24HQ)
− Relay rack can accept up to six QSSRs for a total of 24 channels.
Features a 50-pin header connector for easy interface via 50conductor ribbon cables.
• Quad four position relay rack (Part Number PB16HQ)
− Relay rack can accept up to four QSSRs for a total of 16 channels.
Features a 50-pin header connector for easy interface via 50conductor ribbon cables.
Quad Solid-State Relay Modules:
•AC Input (Part Number IA5Q) - Provides 4 channels of discrete I/O
interface to monitor AC inputs up to 140V @ 10mA.
•DC Input (Part Number IB5Q) - Provides 4 channels of discrete I/O
interface to monitor DC inputs from 3.3V to 32V.
•AC Output (Part Number OA5Q) - Provides 4 channels of discrete I/O
interface to control AC outputs up to 140V @ 3A.
•DC Output (Part Number OB5Q) - Provides 4 channels of discrete I/O
interface to control DC outputs up to 60V @ 3A.
Simulation/debug module (Part Number TA01)
− Module simulates the operation and load characteristics of a standard
24-channel relay rack. An LED corresponding to each port bit
illuminates to indicate state. Eight position DIP-switches are used to
generate input status changes.
2. Insert the Sealevel Systems CD in to your CD drive.
3. If ‘Auto-Start’ is enabled for this drive the software will automatically
launch. Otherwise, point your browser to the ‘Index.htm’ on the root
directory of the CD
4. Select ‘Install Software’.
5. Select the Part Number for your adapter from the listing.
6. Select ‘Windows 98/ME/2000/XP’. The setup file will automatically detect
the operating environment and install the proper components. Next
(depending on your browser) select the ‘Run this program from its current
location’ or ‘Open’ option. Follow the information presented on the screens
that follow.
7. A screen may appear with the declaration: “The publisher cannot be
determined due to the problems below: Authenticode signature not found.”
Please select the ‘Yes’ button and proceed with the installation. This
declaration simply means that the Operating System is not aware of the
driver being loaded. It will not cause any harm to your system.
8. During setup the user may specify installation directories and other
preferred configurations. This program also adds entries to the system
registry that are necessary for specifying the operating parameters for each
driver. An uninstall option is also included to remove all registry/INI file
entries from the system.
Windows NT Card Installation: After accomplishing the above steps, bring up the
Control Panel and double-click on the SeaIO Devices icon. To install a new card,
click "Add Port". Repeat this procedure for as many SeaIO cards as you wish to
install.
