CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2. Introduction 2.1 Overview The Relay Output Card PCI provides 32 reed relays that can switch power, data, and other electronic signals for control applications. The card is PCI 2.1 bus compliant. 2.2 What the Package Includes The Relay Output Card PCI (part number IC907C) is shipped with the following items.
RELAY OUTPUT CARD PCI 3. Installation 3.1 Card Setup The Relay Output Card 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. 3.2 Software Installation FOR WINDOWS USERS Choose Install Software at the beginning of the CD, select the Digital I/O software drivers, and install SeaI/O. 3.3 System Installation The Relay Output Card PCI can be installed in any of the PCI expansion slots. 1.
CHAPTER 4: Technical Description 4. Technical Description The Relay Output Card PCI provides four parallel reed relay output ports. The ports are organized as 1, 2, 3, and 4. 4.1 Features • 32 SPST relays • DB37 connectors • Highly reliable 10-VA DIP reed relays used • Multiple cards can reside in the same computer • PCI 2.1 bus compliant 4.2 Reed Relays Reed relays provide very-high-quality, long-life, low-power, dry-contact switch closures.
RELAY OUTPUT CARD PCI 4.4 Programming Examples Below are several simple examples using 80x86 assembly code for energizing and checking the state of the reed relays on the Relay Output Card PCI. All examples assume a base address of 300 Hex. Example #1: Programming example to set Relay #27 on, write a “1” in bit position D2, to port address Base+3, or 303 Hex.
CHAPTER 4: Technical Description 4.6 Connector and Jumper Pinout Each relay has two sides, an A side and a B side. Each side is connected to two places: the cable and the jumpers on the top of the board. Tables 4-2 through 4-5 provide the pinouts for the two DB37 cable ends and the onboard jumpers. For easy wiring, the card’s DB37 connector can be interfaced directly to the terminal block kit (if you ordered IC907C, you’ll need part number EDN37-SP). The kit, consisting of a 6-ft. (1.

CHAPTER 4: Technical Description 4.7 Jumper Setup Options The common on each port may be tied to ground, 5, or 12 volts. Either side of each relay then may be tied to the common. Figure 4-1 shows an example setup. • Port 4: The common is tied to ground (GND). The A side of port-4 relay 3 (K27) is tied to the common. The B side of port-4 relay 6 (K30) is tied to the common. • Port 3: The common is tied to ground (GND). The A side of port-3 relay 2 (K18) is tied to the common.

RELAY OUTPUT CARD PCI Appendix A. Troubleshooting A.1 Tips Following these simple steps can eliminate most common problems. 1. Install software first. After installing the software, add 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 onboard 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.
APPENDIX A: Troubleshooting A.3 Shipping and Packaging If you need to transport or ship your Relay Output Card PCI: • Package it carefully. We recommend that you use the original container. • If you are shipping the Relay Output Card PCI for repair, make sure you include everything that came in the original package. Before you ship, contact Black Box to get a Return Authorization (RA) number.
