PLC-16.PCI User Manual
Introduction
The PLC-16.PCI provides 8 Form C relays that can switch and carry 2A loads
making it suitable for latching power, data or other electronic signals for control
applications. Eight optically isolated inputs (rated for 5-30V) are also provided to
allow monitoring of off board switch closures, relays or for any other general
purpose monitoring needs. The PLC-16.PCI is optimized for 24V DC/AC usage.
The board is PCI bus specification 2.1 compliant.
The PLC-16.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 PLC-16.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.

Software Installation
Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP Installation
Do not install the Adapter in the machine until the software has been fully
installed.
1. Start Windows.
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/NT/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.

PLC-16.PCI User Manual
Linux Installation
Note: You MUST have "root" privileges to install the software and drivers.
Note Your cdrom may not be /dev/hdc it could be /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/hdd, or if
you have a SCSI drive /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, etc. You may mount the
CDROM to any location, the /cdrom is just a common example.
Note: The syntax is case sensitive.
1. Login as "root".
2. Mount the CDROM by typing:
mount -t iso4860 /dev/hdc /cdrom
3. Next change to the directory where you mounted the CDROM:
Ex. cd /cdrom/software/SeaIO/Other/linux
4. Copy seaio .tar.gz to your home directory by typing:
cp seaio .tar.gz ~
5. Change to your home directory by typing:
cd
6. Unmount the drive and then Unzip and Untar the drivers and software by
typing:
umount /cdrom
tar -xvzf seaio .tar.gz
7. Change to the SeaIO directory by typing:
cd SeaIO
8. Now compile and prepare the drivers for use:
make install
9. With the system off and unplugged, install your SeaIO PCI card.
10. Plug system back in and boot Linux.
Login as "root".
11. Load the driver by typing:
SeaIO -load
The driver has enabled the card and is ready to use, and you now have the option to
run a test utility on it. Skip to section "Using the test software" if you wish to do so
at this time.
To set up Linux to automatically load the driver; refer to a Linux manual concerning
your specific distribution for help.

PLC-16.PCI User Manual
Physical Installation
The adapter can be installed in any 5V PCI expansion slot.
Do not install the Adapter in the machine until the software has been fully
installed.
1. Turn off PC power. Disconnect the power cord.
2. Remove the PC case cover.
3. Locate an available 5V PCI slot and remove the blank metal slot cover.
4. Gently insert the PCI adapter into the slot. Make sure that the adapter is
seated properly.
5. After the adapter has been installed, the cables should be routed thru the
opening in the bracket. This bracket also features a strain relief function that
should be used to prevent un-expected cable removal.
6. Replace the screw you removed for the blank and use it to secure the adapter
into the slot. (This is required to ensure FCC Part 15 compliance.)
7. Replace the cover.
8. Connect the power cord
The PLC-16.PCI is now ready for use.
