Introducing the PCI-DIO24

This manual explains how to install, configure and use the PCI-DIO24 digital I/O board.
The PCI-DIO24 provides 24 lines of digital I/O. An on-board, industry standard 82C55 programmable peripheral interface chip provides the 24 digital I/O lines in three eight-bit ports (Port A, Port B, and Port C). Port C can be further divided into two four-bit ports (Port C-HI and Port C-LO). You can configure each port independently for either input or output. All 24 I/O lines are accessible through the board's 37-pin connector. The I/O pins of an 82C55 are bi-directional CMOS TTL level.
82C55 mode 1 or mode 2 operation
This user's guide provides information on I/O configuration of the 82C55 in mode 0. To use the 82C55 in modes 1 or 2, refer to the 82C55A CMOS Programmable Interface datasheet. This document is available on our web site at www.mccdaq.com/82C55.

Software features

For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your PCI-DIO24, refer to the Quick Start Guide that shipped with your device. The Quick Start Guide is also available in PDF at
www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf.
Check www.mccdaq.com/download.htm for the latest software version or versions of the software supported under less commonly used operating systems.

Signal termination and conditioning accessories
MCC provides signal termination products for use with the PCI-DIO24. Refer to the "Field wiring and
signal termination" section on page 11 for a complete list of compatible accessory products.

Unpacking the PCI-DIO24

As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before removing the PCI-DIO24 from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
If any components are missing or damaged, notify Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by phone, fax, or e-mail:
Phone: 508-946-5100 and follow the instructions for reaching Tech Support. Fax: 508-946-9500 to the attention of Tech Support Email: techsupport@mccdaq.com

Installing the software

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing the software on the Measurement Computing Data Acquisition Software CD. This booklet is available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-
Quick-Start.pdf.

Installing the hardware

The PCI-DIO24 board is completely plug-and-play, with no switches or jumpers to set. Configuration is controlled by your system's BIOS. To install your board, follow the steps below.
Install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board
The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software. Therefore, you need to install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing the software.
1. Turn your computer off, open it up, and insert your board into an available PCI slot.
2. Close your computer and turn it on.
If you are using an operating system with support for plug-and-play (such as Windows 2000 or Windows XP), a dialog box pops up as the system loads indicating that new hardware has been detected. If the information file for this board is not already loaded onto your PC, you will be prompted for the disk containing this file. The MCC DAQ software contains this file. If required, insert the Measurement Computing Data Acquisition Software CD and click OK.
3. To test your installation and configure your board, run the InstaCal utility installed in the previous section.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your board for information on how to initially set up and load InstaCal.

Configuring the hardware

All hardware configuration options on the PCI-DIO24 are software controlled.

PCI-DIO24 block diagram

PCI-DIO24 functions are illustrated in the block diagram shown here.
Chapter 3

DIO signals

All digital outputs and inputs on the PCI-DIO24 are CMOS TTL. Voltages and currents associated with external devices are usually far greater than can be supplied from a PCI-DIO24.
Caution! Direct connections to high-current/high voltage devices will damage the board.
The 82C55 digital I/O chip initializes all ports as inputs on power-up and reset. The state of the digital I/O lines is not defined as either logic high or logic low when in input mode. Input devices connected to the PCI-DIO24
Figure 4. Functional block diagram
board may detect either a high or a low, and therefore may be turned off or on at power-up.

Signal level control

All I/O bits are set to a high impedance input mode on power up and reset. To prevent unwanted signal levels, and to drive all inputs on the device you are controlling to a known state after power up or reset, install pull-up or pull-down resistors.
A pull-up resistor pulls all digital pins up to +5 V (high logic level). A pull-down resistor pulls all digital pins down to 0 V (low logic level).
The PCI-DIO24 has open locations where you can install a 2.2 K , eight-resistor single inline package (SIP) resistor network for each port. The SIP is made up of eight 2.2 K resistors. One side of each resistor is connected to a single common point and brought out to a pin. The common line is marked with a dot or line at
one end of the SIP. The remaining resistor ends are brought out to the other eight pins (see Figure 5).
Figure 5. Eight-resistor SIP schematic
Install the SIP on the PCI-DIO24 board at the locations labeled PORT A, PORT B and PORT C (adjacent to the 37-pin connector). Figure 6 shows a schematic of an SIP installed in both the pull-up and pull-down positions.
Figure 6. Pull-up and pull-down resistor SIP schematic
13
Page 14
PCI-DIO24 User's Guide Functional Details
When installed, the SIP establishes either a high or low logic level at each of the eight I/O lines on the port. At each board location, A, B, and C, there are 10 holes in a line. The hole on one end is marked "HI" and is connected to +5V. The other end is marked "LO" and is connected to GND. The eight holes in the middle connect to eight lines of the port, A, B or C.
To pull-up lines, orient the SIP with the common pin (dot) toward the HI end; to pull-down, install the resistor with the common pin in the LO hole.
Note:
We recommend using 2.2K SIPs (MCC part number SP-K2.29C). Use a different value only if necessary.
