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.

Installing the PCI-DIO24
Unpacking
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the device 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.
Contact us immediately if any components are missing or damaged.
Installing the software
Refer to the MCC DAQ Quick Start and the PCI-DIO24 product page on our website for information about the
software that supports the device.
Install the software before you install your device
The driver needed to run the PCI-DIO24 is installed with the software. Therefore, you need to install the
software package you plan to use before you install the hardware.
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. Perform the following procedure to install your board.
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.
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.
When connected for the first time, a
the device. When the dialog closes, the installation is complete. If you have not installed the MCC DAQ
software, cancel the dialog and install it now.
3. To test your installation and configure your board, run the InstaCal utility installed with MCC DAQ
software. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for information on how to initially set up and load InstaCal.

The I/O connector is a 37-pin, male D-type connector accessible from the rear of the computer through the
expansion backplate. The signals available are direct connections to the digital I/O chips as well as the
computer's internal power supplies. The pinout is identical to the CIO-DIO24, except that –5 VDC is not
brought out. The PCI-DIO24 board's I/O connector is shown in Figure 2.

Functional Details
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
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 KΩ, eight-resistor single inline package (SIP)
resistor network for each port. The SIP is made up of eight 2.2 KΩ 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
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 2.2 KΩ SIPs (MCC part number SP-K2.29C). Use a different value only if necessary.
