Chapter 1
Introducing the PCI-PDISO16
This manual explains how to install and use the PCI-PDISO16 board. The PCI-PDISO16
is a 16-channel isolated-input and relay output digital interface board for PCI-compatible
computers. The board is designed for applications where high voltages need to be sensed
or controlled.
The PCI-PDISO16 board provides 16 digital inputs and 16 Form C relay outputs.
The 16 individual, optically isolated (500V) inputs can be read back as two 8-bit bytes.
The inputs are not polarity sensitive, and can be driven by either AC (50 to 1000 Hz) or
DC at levels up to 28 Volts. Each input channel has a software-enabled low-pass filter
with a time constant of 5 ms (200 Hz).
The 16 outputs are dry contact, Form-C electromechanical relays. The relays are
controlled by writing to two eight-bit ports. The state of the relays can be determined by
reading the same two ports.
The PCI-PDISO16 board is completely plug-and-play, with no switches or jumpers to set.
Software features – InstaCal and Universal Library
PCI-PDISO16 boards ship with the InstaCal software configuration utility package.
InstaCal is a complete installation, calibration, and test program for data acquisition and
control boards. Complete with extensive error checking, InstaCal guides you through the
installation and setup of your data acquisition board, and creates the board configuration
file for use by your program or application software package. The procedure for installing
InstaCal is explained in the Software Installation Manual (available on our web site at
).
The optional Universal Library™ fully supports the PCI-PDISO16 boards. The Universal
Library is a complete set of I/O libraries and drivers for all MCC boards and for all
Windows-based languages. When using the Universal Library, you can switch boards or
even programming languages, and the syntax remains constant.

PCI-PDISO16 User's Guide Installing the Board
Unpacking the board
Each PCI-PDISO16 board is shipped in an antistatic container to prevent damage by an
electrostatic discharge. To avoid such damage, perform the following procedure when
unpacking and handling your board:
1.
2.
3.
Before opening the antistatic container, ground yourself with a wrist-grounding
strap or by holding onto a grounded object (such as the computer chassis).
Touch the antistatic container to the computer chassis before removing the board
from the container.
Remove the board from the container. Never touch the exposed pins or circuit
connections on the board.
Installing the software
We recommended that you install the InstaCal software included with your board before
you install the hardware. If you ordered the Universal Library software, install that
software instead. InstaCal is installed at the same time as the Universal Library.

If you ordered the optional Universal Library, use that CD to install both InstaCal and
the Universal Library.

PCI-PDISO16 User's Guide Installing the Board
Installing the hardware
The PCI-PDISO16 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:
1.
2.
3.
Turn your computer off, open it up, and insert your board into an available PCI slot.
Close your computer and turn it on.
If you are using an operating system with support for plug-and-play (play (such as
Windows 95 or Windows 2000), a dialog box displays 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 are prompted for the disk containing this
file. The InstaCal software supplied with your board contains this file. If required,
insert the disk or CD and click
OK.
Configuring the hardware
All hardware configuration options on the PCI-PDISO16 are software controlled. You
can select some of the configuration options using InstaCal. Once configured, any
program that uses the Universal Library will initialize the hardware according to these
selections.

PCI-PDISO8 compatibility
For connections to a PCI-PDISO8 compatible interface, use a C50-37F-x adaptor cable.
This cable converts the PCI-PDISO16 board’s connector to a PDIS08-compatible D
connector. Two adaptor cables are required if more than eight relays are used. Pin
assignments for the C50-37F-x cable are shown in . Details on this cable are

Field wiring and signal termination accessories
You can use the following screw terminal boards to terminate field signals and route
them into the PCI-PDISO16 using the C50FF-x cable:
CIO-MINI50 – 50-pin screw terminal board. Details on this product are available
on our web site at
www.mccdaq.com/cbicatalog/cbiproduct.asp?dept_id=102&pf_id=258.
CIO-TERM100 – 100-pin screw terminal board. Details on this product are
available on our web site at
www.mccdaq.com/cbicatalog/cbiproduct.asp?dept_id=102&pf_id=258
.
SCB-50 – 50 conductor, shielded signal connection/screw terminal box provides
two independent 50-pin connections. Details on this product are available on our
web site at www.mccdaq.com/cbicatalog/cbiproduct.asp?dept_id=196&pf_id=1168
.
You can use the following screw terminal boards to terminate field signals and route
them into the PCI-PDISO16 using the C50-37F-x cable:
CIO-MINI37 – 37-pin screw terminal board. Details on this product are available
on our web site at
www.mccdaq.com/cbicatalog/cbiproduct.asp?dept_id=102&pf_id=255
.
CIO-TERMINAL – 37-pin screw terminal board with on-board prototype area.
Details on this product are available on our web site at
www.mccdaq.com/cbicatalog/cbiproduct.asp?dept_id=102&pf_id=282
.
SCB-37 – 37 conductor, shielded signal connection/screw terminal box provides
two independent 37-pin connections. Details on this product are available on our
web site at www.mccdaq.com/cbicatalog/cbiproduct.asp?dept_id=196&pf_id=1166
.
Caution! Do not use the CIO-MINI50 screw terminal board if your field voltages are
greater than 24 volts. The CIO-MINI50 does not have shields to protect users from accidental
contact with hazardous high voltage signals. Construct a safe, fully insulated cable to carry your
signals directly from your equipment to the PCI-PDISO16 connector. If you use a screw terminal
board, ensure that it is fully enclosed in an insulated, protected box.
Additional signal conditioning is not required
The PCI-PDISO16 is designed with signal conditioning installed. Most accessory boards
are intended to provide signal conditioning or easy-to-access signal termination. In
general, the PCI-PDISO16 does not require additional signal conditioning.

Programming languages
Measurement Computing’s Universal Library™ provides access to board functions from
a variety of Windows programming languages. If you are planning to write programs, or
would like to run the example programs for Visual Basic
or any other language, please
refer to the Universal Library User's Guide (available on our web site at

Many packaged application programs, such as SoftWIRE, Labtech Notebook™, and
HP-VEE™, now have drivers for your board. If the package you own does not have
drivers for the board, please fax or e-mail the package name and the revision number
from the install disks. We will research the package for you and advise how to obtain
drivers.
Some application drivers are included with the Universal Library package, but not with
the application package. If you have purchased an application package directly from the
software vendor, you may need to purchase our Universal Library and drivers. Please

When a 0 is written to the output, the relay is not energized, and the common and
NC are in contact.
When a 1 is written to the output, the relay is energized and the common and NO
are in contact.
