Introduction 1
1 Introduction
In order to increase the available functions on the PCI-8154/58 4-
axis/8-axis pulse train output control channel carrier board,
ADLINK offers four daughter boards providing a variety of func-
tions. These DB-815x daughter boards can only be used with the
PCI-8154/58 carriers only. Additional functionality provided by the
DB-815x series includes high-speed triggering and distributed I/O
control. Daughter boards can be added based on application
requirements. The four daughter boards in the DB-815x series
are:
The DB-8151 offers an HSL (High Speed Link) system for distrib-
uted I/O on the PCI-8154/58. HSL is an innovative distributed I/O

2 Introduction
technology which allows thousands of I/O points to be scanned at
the millisecond-level in real time by using mater-slave architec-
ture. Commercial Ethernet cables with RJ45 connector are used
for simplified setup of the HSL slaves modules as close as possi-
ble to sensor devices, again, resulting in a dramatic reduction of
wiring. System integrators can benefit from HSL network because
it integrates discrete I/O, and analog I/O. This local network fea-
tures rapid response, real-time scanning. Integration of multi-axis
operations can also be accomplished with the DB-8151 module as
the HSL architecture is ready to use on a parallel multi-axis con-
troller.

Introduction 3
HSL is ideal for:
XDistributed solutions based on a multi-axis controller archi-
tecture
XDaughter board solutions making the motion system config-
uration more flexible and compact.
XSimpler wiring for remote I/O, including discrete I/O and
analog I/O modules
XA vast number of discrete I/O points (hundreds or more)
XReal-time and fast scanning
XHigh speed data acquisition

2.3 DB-8151 Hardware Installation
2.3.1 Hardware configuration
DB-8151 must be installed on to a PCI-8154 or PCI-8158 only.
Please ensure correct orientation of the DB-8151 before it attach-
ing it to the PCI-8154 or PCI-8158.
2.3.2 Installation Procedures
Please follow installation procedure as follows.
Daughter Board Installation
1. Attach the DB-8151 on to the PCI-8154 or PCI-8158.
Please ensure correct orientation of the DB-8151 daugh-
ter board.
2. Screw the eight screws into the corresponding copper
pillars.
3. Connect the DB-8151 and DB-8151-RJ45 with the 10-
pin flat cable.

Carrier Board Installation
4. Turn off the computer. Turn off all accessories (printer,
modem, monitor, etc.) connected to the computer.
Remove the cover from the computer.
5. Select one available 32-bit PCI expansion slot with a
neighboring open slot for the DB-8151-RJ45. PCI slots
are shorter than ISA or EISA slots and are usually white
or ivory.
6. Before handling the PCI-8154 or PCI-8158 with DB-8151
and DB-8151-RJ45, discharge any static buildup on your
body by touching the metal case of the computer. Hold
the edge of the card and do not touch the components.
7. Plug the PCI-8154/58 with DB series vertically down into
the PCI slot, and then secure the PCI-8154/58 bracket
and DB-8151-RJ45 bracket onto rear panel.
2.3.3 Troubleshooting:
If the system doesn’t boot or if any erratic behavior of the PCI
board is experience, it is most likely caused by an interrupt conflict
(possibly an incorrect ISA setup). The solution, once determined it
is not a simple oversight, is to consult the BIOS documentation
that comes with your system.
Check the control panel of the Windows system if the card is listed
by the system. If not, check the PCI settings in the BIOS or use
another PCI slot.

2.4 Software Driver Installation
Execute the following steps:
1. Auto-run the ADLINK All-In-One CD.
2. Follow the procedures of the installation wizard.
3. After setup installation has completed, reboot the sys-
tem.
