The REL-32.PCI is PCI 2.1 bus compliant. What’s Included The REL-32.PCI is shipped with the following items. If any item is missing or damaged, contact the supplier. · REL-32.PCI Adapter · Sealevel Software CD · Cable (CA – 172) Installation Card Setup The REL-32.PCI is a fully compliant PCI ‘Plug and Play’ adapter. The I/O address is auto-assigned by either your system BIOS or your ‘Plug and Play’ operating system. 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. System Installation The REL-32.PCI can be installed in any of the PCI expansion slots. 1. Turn off PC power. Disconnect the power cord. 2. Remove the PC case cover. 3. Locate an available PCI slot and remove the blank metal slot cover. 4. Gently insert the REL-32.PCI into the slot. Make sure that the adapter is seated properly. 5. Replace the retaining screw. 6. Replace the cover. 7. Connect the power cord. Installation is complete. Sealevel Systems REL-32.PCI Page 1 Technical Description Technical Description The REL-32.PCI provides four parallel Reed Relay output ports. The ports are organized as ports 1, 2, 3, and 4. Features · 32 SPST relays · DB-37 connectors · Highly reliable 10 VA DIP reed relays utilized · Multiple adapters can reside in same computer · PCI 2.1 Bus compliant Reed Relays Reed relays provide very high quality, long life, low power, dry contact switch closures. Reed relays are not suited for high current applications, and can be destroyed by capacitive or inductive load switching. The relays are normally open, and close when energized. Relay Specifications · Contact Power Ratings: 10-Watts Maximum · Contact Voltage Maximum: 100 Volts DC or AC Maximum · Contact Current Maximum: 0.5 Amps DC or AC RMS · Contact Resistance, Initial: 0.15 Ohms · Rated Life: Low Load: 200 Million Closures Maximum Load: 100 Million Closures · Contact Speed: Operate: 0.5 mS Release: 0.5 mS Bounce: 0.5 mS · Maximum Operating Speed: 600 Hertz Sealevel Systems REL-32.PCI Page 2 Technical Description Software The REL-32.PCI ships with Sealevel Systems’ SeaI/O suite of Windows drivers. SeaI/O provides the user with a consistent and straightforward API, allowing the developer to concentrate on the details of the application as opposed to low level driver development. Popular development environments, including Visual C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi, are supported for application development. SeaI/O includes a utility for configuring the driver parameters under Windows, further simplifying installation. For DOS, QNX, Linux and other operating systems, please refer to the software included with your card. Connector and Jumper Pin Out Each relay has two sides, an A-side and B-side. Each side is connected to two places: the cable, and the jumpers on the top of the board. The tables on the next two pages provide the pin outs for the two DB37 cable ends and the onboard jumpers. For ease in wiring, the card’s DB­37 connector can be interfaced directly to Sealevel's terminal block kit, Part# KT-101. The KT-101 kit, consisting of a 6 ft. M/F cable and screw terminal block provides a simple means to connect field wiring to Sealevel 37-pin I/O cards. The Sealevel Terminal Block provides both male and female DB-37 connectors eliminating the need for gender benders and other adapters while simplifying cable connections.

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 relays for the 8007 specifically. Complete documentation of the API can be found in its accompanying help file. 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. Due to the fact that the 8007 has no inputs the relative and absolute address for each relay are the same.

The address of each eight-bit port is calculated as shown in the table on the following page, the cards base address plus an offset. Reading the Outputs (relays) (direct) : The relay ports return the ones complement of the value that is currently being used to drive the relays. When using the API the value is returned not the complement of the value. Writing the Outputs (relays) (direct) : The relays on a standard 8007 are normally open. To close a relay a one must be written to the appropriate bit.

Install software first. After installing the software then proceed to adding the hardware. This places the required installation files in the correct locations. 2. Identify all I/O adapters currently installed in your system. This includes your on-board serial ports, controller cards, sound cards etc. The I/O addresses used by these adapters, as well as the IRQ (if any) should be identified. 3. Ensure that there is no conflict with currently installed adapters. No two adapters can occupy the same I/O address and may not be allowed to share IRQs. 4. Make sure the Sealevel Systems adapter is securely installed in a motherboard slot. Sealevel Systems REL-32.PCI Page 13 Appendix B - How To Get Assistance Appendix B - How To Get Assistance Please refer to Troubleshooting Guide prior to calling Technical Support. 1.
