Introduction The DIO-32.PCIe digital I/O interface provides 16 optically isolated inputs and 16 reed relay outputs. The inputs protect the PC and other sensitive equipment from spikes and ground loop current that can be generated in industrial environments, while the outputs provide high quality, long life, low current (10 Watt maximum), dry contact switch closures. Reed relays are well suited for low current applications. The relays are normally open, and close when energized.
Before You Get Started What’s Included The DIO-32.PCIe is shipped with the following items. If any of these items is missing or damaged please contact Sealevel for replacement. Item# 8004e – DIO-32.

Linux Installation Licensing Information This package contains two components - a Linux kernel-mode device driver and an Application Programmer's Interface. To provide the most flexible licensing scheme, the driver is released under the GNU General Public License version 3 while the API is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License, also version 3. Copies of each license are located in the dox/ directory.
Optional make commands: "make" or "make subdirs": this option will build all binaries, but will not copy them to the locations described below. "make objs": this option is similar to "make subdirs", but instead of building executables, only objects will be created. "make clean": this option removes all the build/executable files in the working SeaIo directory. Installed files remain on your system. "make uninstall": this option removes files that were previously installed to the locations described below.
Installation Steps Note: You MUST have "root" privileges to install the software and drivers. 1. Login as "root". 2. Mount the CDROM by typing: mount -t iso4860 /dev/hdc /cdrom 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. 3. Next change to the directory where you mounted the CDROM: Ex.
Hardware Installation Do not install the PCI Express board until the software has been successfully installed. The DIO-32.PCIe does not need to be configured prior to installation. Once you have installed the SeaI/O Classic software, install the board into an available PCI Express slot and boot the computer. The Found New Hardware wizard will appear. The drivers that were installed during the software installation process will automatically be used to configure the adapter.
Hardware Installation, continued 4. The appropriate drivers for your digital I/O device and version of Windows will be installed as shown. 5. Click ‘Finish’ to complete the installation of your hardware. 6. When the ‘Found New Hardware’ alert informs you that your hardware is installed and ready to use, you can proceed with verifying the installation to check functionality if necessary. © Sealevel Systems, Inc. - 10 - DIO-32.
Verifying Installation To confirm that the digital I/O card has been successfully installed and recognized by your operating system, look in the Windows Device Manager. To access Device Manager, follow the steps below: 1. Right click on ‘My Computer’ icon on your desktop or in the Start menu. 2. Click ‘Manage’ in the fly out menu to launch the ‘Computer Management’ console window. 3. In the left pane under ‘System Tools’, click ‘Device Manager’. 4.
Programming the DIO-32.PCI Sealevel’s SeaI/O Classic software is provided to assist in the development of reliable applications for the Sealevel Systems family of PCI and PCI Express digital I/O adapters. The SeaI/O Classic software is included on the CD that shipped with the board. The software contains driver functions for use in accessing the I/O as well as helpful samples and utilities.
Input Ports Ports A and B are 8 bit input ports connected to optically isolated input sensors. Each sensor can be used to interface a voltage input and then sense whether the voltage is on or off. Each sensor is isolated (with respect to a common ground) from every other sensor, and also isolated with respect to the host PC ground.
Input Ports Pin Assignments (DB-37 Female) Inputs are interfaced via the DB-37 female connector on the supplied CA165 cable.

Optional 3093 Migration Cable (CA378) On the 3093 ISA digital I/O board, the input pins #1 and #19 are reversed from the standard CA165 cable that ships standard with the 8004. If you are upgrading from a 3093 ISA board to an 8004 PCI board and wish to preserve existing infrastructure wiring, order the CA378 cable and use it in place of the standard CA165 cable. CA378 Input Pin Assignments (DB-37 Female) Inputs are interfaced via the DB-37 female connector on the optional CA378 cable.
