Introduction Introduction Overview The ISO-16 16 optically isolated inputs to allow monitoring of off board switch closures, relays or for any other general purpose monitoring needs. Addressing, data and control signals are TTL compatible. The ISO-16 is simple to operate. Inputs are simply read from their data ports. What’s Included The ISO-16 is shipped with the following items. If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact the supplier. · ISO-16 Interface Adapter · Relay/Digital I/O Software · User manual Factory Default Settings The ISO-16 factory default settings are as follows: Base Address IRQ 300 5 To install the ISO-16 using factory default settings, refer to Installation on page 4. For your reference, record installed ISO-16 settings below: Base Address IRQ Sealevel Systems ISO-16 Page 1 Card Setup Card Setup The ISO-16 contains several jumper straps for each port that must be set for proper operation. Address Selection The ISO-16 occupies 4 consecutive I/O locations. The DIP-switch (SW1) is used to set the base address for these locations. Be careful when selecting the base address as some selections conflict with existing PC ports. The following table shows several examples that usually do not cause a conflict.

In the example below, address 300 is selected as the base address. Address 300 in binary is XX 11 0000 00XX where X = a non-selectable address bit and address bit A9 is always a 1. A9 A2 ON OFF 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Figure 2 - DIP-Switch Illustration Note: Setting the switch ‘On’ or ‘Closed’ corresponds to a ‘0’ in the address, while leaving it ‘Off’ or ‘Open’ corresponds to a ‘1’. Sealevel Systems ISO-16 Page 2 Card Setup IRQ Header E1 Interrupts can be generated by Port A, bit 0 going low if enabled at jumper location E1. Interrupt request signals 2/9 through 7 (IRQ 2/9 - 7) can be selected by placing the jumper in the appropriate position. Other inputs can be ‘wire OR ed.’ to also generate interrupts if desired. Please consult the factory for more information.

The ISO-16 contains a DIP-switch (SW1) and IRQ selection which must be set prior to installation. 1. Turn off PC power. Disconnect the power cord. 2. Remove the PC case cover. 3. Locate an available slot and remove the blank metal slot cover. 4. Gently insert the ISO-16 into the slot. Make sure the adapter is seated properly. 5. Replace the cover. 6. Connect the power cord. Installation is complete. Software Installation For Windows Users Choose Install Software at the beginning of the CD and select the Digital I/O software drivers and install SeaIO. Sealevel Systems ISO-16 Page 4 Technical Description Technical Description The ISO-16 provides four parallel input/output (I/O) ports. The ports are organized as ports A, B, C, and D. Port A and B are the input ports and are interfaced to optically- isolated inputs, while ports C and D unused. Assuming an I/O address of 300 Hex the following table shows the Port Addresses. Base Address Hex Decimal Mode Port A Address 300 768 Input Port (Opto Input) Port B Address 301 769 Input Port (Opto Input) Port C Address 302 770 Unused Port D Address 303 771 Unused Features · Selectable I/O port addressing from 100H - 3FFH · 2 eight bit input ports · DB-37 female connector for optically isolated inputs · 8 bit slot connector · Multiple adapters can reside in same computer · All address, data and control signals are TTL compatible 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. This means that signals such as low-level AC line voltage, motor servo voltage, and control relay signals can be ‘sensed’, or read by the PC, without the risk of damage due to ground loops or ground faults. Each sensor-input pair has a current limiting resistor, which is used to limit the input current to the opto-isolator. The opto-isolator has two ‘back-to-back’ diodes internally. This allows AC or DC signals to be sensed, regardless of polarity. When the applied voltage is high enough to cause the led in the opto-isolator to turn-on, the output of the opto-isolator goes low (0 volts) and the signal is read as a low logic level (binary 0) by the PC. When the input signal is too low to turn on the opto-isolator, the output goes high and the port bit is read by the PC as a high logic level (binary 1). Sealevel Systems ISO-16 Page 5 Technical Description The input impedance of each isolated input is 560 ohms (factory default, this can be modified by user or at factory if requested). The opto-isolator requires approximately 3 mA to turn on. The maximum input current is 60 mA. Two points must be considered when selecting the input resistor. The first is turn on voltage for the circuit to sense, and second is the maximum input voltage. Maximum input voltage must not provide too much power to the input resistor, and must also not overdrive the opto-isolator input current specification. The following formulas apply: Turn on current: 3 mA Isolator diode drop: 1.1 V Resistor power Max: .25 W Turn on Voltage = diode drop + (turn on current) x (resistance) Or : 1.1 + (.003) x R Maximum voltage = square root of (.25 (resistor value)) The following table shows four common input resistors and the ranges associated with each . Input Resistor Value Turn-On Max Input Range Max Current (Ohms) (Volts) (Volts) (mA) 220 1.76 to 7.4 2 to 6 29 560 2.8 to 11.8 3 to 12 19 1K 4.1 to 15. 8.4 to 16 15 2.2K 7.7 to 23.4 8 to 24 10 Increasing the input resistor accordingly can increase the maximum input voltage. Because removable/replaceable DIP resistor networks are utilized, they can easily be replaced with a different value. This can be done at the factory, if necessary. The input circuits are not designed for monitoring 120-volt AC circuits and damage will occur if connected to a 120-volt AC circuit.

The SeaIO driver and API have been included to provide control over the hardware in Windows and Linux environments. The purpose of this section of the manual is to help the customer with the mapping of the API to the actual input for the 3094 specifically. Complete documentation of the API can be found in its accompanying help file. Interrupts Interrupt sampling can be set up in the API. Port A bit zero is the interrupt source. Refer to the API help file for more detailed information. Relative Addressing Vs. Absolute Addressing The SeaIO API makes a distinction between “absolute” and “relative” addressing modes. In absolute addressing mode, the Port argument to the API function acts as a simple byte offset from the base I/O address of the device. For instance, Port #0 refers to the I/O address base + 0; Port #1 refers to the I/O address base + 1. Relative addressing mode, on the other hand, refers to input and output ports in a logical fashion. With a Port argument of 0 and an API function meant to th output data, the first (0 ) output port on the device will be utilized. Likewise, with a Port argument of 0 and an API function designed to input data, the first th (0 ) input port of the device will be utilized. In all addressing modes, port numbers are zero-indexed; that is, the first port is port #0, the second port is #1, the third #2, and so on. Because the 3094 does not have any output ports, the mapping of relative and absolute addressing is the same.

If a different base address is used then the port addresses are calculated as shown in the table. Reading the Inputs (direct) : The inputs are active Low. If no voltage is applied across one of the differential inputs it returns a one on that bit. If an AC or DC voltage (of sufficient magnitude, covered above) is applied it returns a zero on that bit.
