The PCM-3724 is a PC/104-standard DI/O module which
attaches to the piggyback connector on your CPU card or
PC/104 CPU module. The PCM-3724's two Intel 8255 PPI
compatible chips provide 48 bits of parallel digital input/
output. Buffered inputs and outputs offer high driving
capacity.The module's 48 bits are divided into six 8-bit I/O
ports: A0, B0, C0, A1, B1 and C1. You can configure each
port as either an input or output in software.
Base Address Selection (SW1)
Switch SW1 sets the module's base (beginning)
address. Valid base addresses range fromHex 000 to
Hex 3F0. We set the PCM-3724 for a base address
of Hex 300 at the factory. If you need to adjust it to
some other address range, set switch SW1 as shown
