1. Introduction

1.1 General Description

The OME-PCI-1800(H/L) and OME-PCI-1802(H/L) are high performance, multifunction

analog and digital I/O PCI boards for PC and compatible computers. This series features a

continuous, 330K samples/second, gap-free data acquisition under DOS and Windows

95/98/NT/2000/XP. All models feature a 12-bit 330K AD converter, two 12-bit independent

DA converters, 16 channels of TTL compatible DI and 16 channels of TTL compatible DO.

The 1800H/L provides 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels. The 1802H/L

provides 32 single-ended or 16 differential analog input channels. The ‘L’ in the part number

denotes low gain input range and the ‘H’ denotes high gain input range. The two DACs of this

multifunction card are independent with bipolar voltage output and jumper selectable output

range. The AD scan function of OME-PCI-1800 series is extremely versatile and is called “

MagicScan”. It uses two modes: the fix channel mode and the channel scan mode, both

modes can scan up to 330K samples per second. The boards also provide three trigger modes:

software trigger, pacer trigger and external trigger. Each trigger mode uses “MagicScan” to

perform the data acquisition. The external trigger can be programmed for one of the three

trigger types: pre-trigger, post-trigger and middle-trigger. The OME-PCI-1800/1802 fully

supports “Plug and Play” under Windows.

The OME-PCI-1202 (H/L) is very similar to OME-PCI-1802 (H/L). The differences are that

the OME-PCI-1202 boards only provide a 110K samples/second acquisition rate and a 2

Kword FIFO.

The OME-PCI-1602 features a 16 bit A/D converter. It is very similar to the OME-PCI-

1802L. The OME-PCI-1602F has a 200K sample/second acquisition rate and the OME-PCI-

1602 has a 100K acquisition rate.

2.3.5 OME-DB-16P Isolated Input Board

The OME-DB-16P is a 16-channel isolated digital input daughter board. The optically

isolated inputs of the OME-DB-16P consist of a bi-directional optocoupler with a resistor for

current sensing. You can use the OME-DB-16P to sense DC signals from TTL levels up to 24V

or use the OME-DB-16P to sense a wide range of AC signals. You can use this board to isolate

the computer from large common-mode voltages, ground loops and transient voltage spikes

that often occur in industrial environments.

2.3.6 OME-DB-16R Relay Board

The OME-DB-16R, 16-channel relay output board consists of 16 from C relays used for

switching loads under program control. Applying 5 volts to the appropriated relay channel on

the 20-pin flat connector energizes the relays. There is 16 status LEDs for each relay, which

light when their associated relay is activated. To avoid overloading your PC’s power supply,

this board provides a screw terminal connection an for external power supply.

2.3.7 OME-DB-24PR Power Relay Board

The OME-DB-24PR, 24-channel power relay output board consists of 8 form C and 16

form A electromechanical relays for switching a load under program control. Each relay

contact is rated to 5A at 250ACV/30VDCV. The relay is energized by applying a 5 volt signal

to the appropriate relay channel on the 20-pin flat cable connector or 50-pin flat cable

connector. Each channel has an LED which will light when the associated relay is activated.

To avoid overloading your PC’s power supply, the board requires a +12VDC or +24VDC

external power supply.

Channel: 16 Form A Relays, 8 Form C Relays

2.4 Analog Input Signal Connection

The OME-PCI-1202/1602/1800/1802 can measure signals in the single-ended or

differential mode. In the differential mode each channel has a unique signal HIGH and signal

LOW connection. In the single-ended mode all channels have a unique signal HIGH

connection but share a common LOW or ground connection. Differential connections are very

useful for low level signals (millivolt), since they better reject electrical noise that can affect

the quality of the measurement. A differential connection is also necessary when a common

ground is unacceptable. The benefit of using a single-ended connection is that twice the

number of channels is available. In general, a single-ended connection is often a good choice

when working with higher level signals (5V or 10V for example), especially if the signal is

coming from an isolated device such as a signal conditioner. Several different types of wiring

diagrams are discussed below.

Figure 2-4A shows a differential connection to a grounded source. If the source is

grounded, making a second connection to the card’s ground could cause a ground loop

resulting in erroneous data. It is important to note that the maximum common mode

voltage between the input source and AGND is 70Vp-p. If the card is connected to a

source with a common mode voltage greater than 70Vp-p, the input multiplexer will be

permanently damaged! When measuring common mode voltage, it is best to use an

oscilloscope rather than a multi-meter.

Figure 2-4B shows a differential connection to a floating source. In such cases a

connection should be made between the low channel input and analog ground.

Figure 2-5 shows connection of multiple sources in single-ended mode. This connection

assumes creating one common ground will not cause a problem. This is normally the case

when connecting to devices that are isolated or floating.

Figure 2-6 demonstrates how to connect bridge transducers. Bridge transducers include

strain gauges, load cells and certain type of pressure transducers. The diagram assumes that

there is a single external power supply providing power to the bridge. Each bridge is

connected to a differential channel. No connection is made between channel low and analog

ground. A connection should be made between analog ground and the negative of the power

supply. An isolated power supply is strongly suggested.

Figure 2-7 demonstrates how to connect a 4-20mA current loop. Since the card reads

voltages, the current is converted to voltage by passing it through a shunt resistor. By Ohms

law (V=IR), when using a 250Ω resistor, 4 mA will be converted to 1 volt and 20mA to 5V. If

the source is linear, the output voltage range will also be linear.

3. I/O Control Register

3.1 How to Find the I/O Address

During the computer’s power-on stage the plug&play BIOS will assign a valid I/O address

to each OME-PCI-1800/1802 card. The P180X_DriverInit(..) can detect how many OME-

PCI-1800/1802 cards are in the system and the I/O addresses of these cards. The

P180X_DriverInit(..) is supported in both DOS and Windows driver versions. The

P180X_DriverInit(..) must be called before any other driver function. The

P180X_DriverInit(..) will:

1. Detect how many OME-PCI-1800/1802 cards in the system?

2. Detect and save the I/O control address of every OME-PCI-1800/1802 card

Sample program code is shown below:

wRetVal=P180X_DriverInit(&wBoards); /* call P180X_DriverInit(..) first */

printf("Threre are %d P180X Cards in this PC\n",wBoards);

/* dump every P180X card's configuration address space */

printf("The Configuration Space -> Timer Control DIO AD/DA \n");

for (i=0; i<wBoards; i++)

{

printf("Card %02d: %04xH %04xH %04xH %04xH\n", i,wConfigSpace[i][0],

wConfigSpace[i][1], wConfigSpace[i][2],wConfigSpace[i][3]);

}

/* The P180X_ActiveBoard() function must be used to activate a board, */

/* then all operations will apply to the active board. */

printf("Now Active First P180X Card...\n");

P180X_ActiveBoard( 0 );
