2.2. Jumper Settings
2.2.1 AC Filter Jumpers
Simply setting the jumpers on the board can change the I/O card configuration.
Each digital input channel can be jumper-configured as a single-pole, AC filter with
a time constant of 1.2 ms. The table below lists each digital input channel and the
corresponding jumper.

JP2 DI1 JP10 DI9

Figure 2-2. Jumper Settings.
If AC input signals are used, the AC FILTER must be set by shorting pins 2-3
of the corresponding jumpers. If DC input signals are used, the AC FILTER is
optional. If the DC input signal response is less than 20 μs, set the filter to OFF. If
a slow response is required (about 5 to 10 ms) in order to reject either noise or
contact bouncing, short the AC FILTER (Pins 2-3).

2.3. Relay Output
Whenever data is written to the output control register, the relays will switch to
either NO (Normally Open) or NC (Normally Closed) status as specified by the
control code. A “1” in the control register causes the corresponding relay in an
energized state and shorts the COM (Common) to NO contact; while a “0” in the
control register turns off the corresponding relay and shorts the COM to NC contact.
When the power is first switched on or a reset signal from hardware or software
is occurred, the control register is 0 and all relays short to NC contact. The following
figures show how to use the relay.

2.4. Isolated Input
Reading the isolation input register will identify the digital input state of the
photo-couple (isolation input). Figures 2-3 and 2-4 show the basic circuit of the digital
input.

Internal
Circuit
Although the normal input voltage range is 5 to 24 V AC or DC, the input can
still be increased to a larger range by choosing suitable external resistors. The
following figure shows how to connect to a larger input. Please note that the input
current should be limited to between 2 mA to 20 mA; too large input current will burn
out the internal resistor Ri, while an input current that is too low will not activate the
photo-coupler isolator. Calculate the input voltage and current, and then replace the
resistor Ri.

If = 2 mA ~ 20 mA
As a rough estimate:
If Vin = 120 V and the photo-coupler turn-on voltage is ignored,
the result is:
Vin/
If = Ri
Vin = 120(V),
If =10(mA), Ri = Vin/ If
120(V) / 0.01 (A) = 12000 (Ω)
If the resistor Ri is replaced as 1.2 KΩ, the power consumption of Ri can be
calculated as follows:
P = I2Rex = (10 mA) 2 * 1.2KΩ= 1.2 W
The power consumption is 1.2 Watts, but selecting 1.5 or 2 Watts is better.
Thus, a 1.2 K / 2 W resistor can be selected to replace the resistor Ri.

3. I/O Control Registers
3.1. Determining the I/O Address
The plug & play BIOS will assign the proper I/O address to each PCI device in
the system during the boot up process. The fixed IDs of the PISO-P16R16U card
are as follows:
zVendor / Device ID = 0xE159 / 0x0001
zSub-Vendor / Device ID = 0x1800 / 0x0000
zSub-Aux ID = 0xFF (Don’t care)
ICP DAS provides all necessary functions for identifying and accessing this card.
Please refer to Chapters 4 and 5 for more information regarding the SDK (Software
Development Kit). The driver information is as follows:
1. Resource-allocated information:
•wBase: BASE address mapping for this PC
•wIrq: IRQ channel number allocated for this PC
2. PIO/PISO identification information:
•wSubVendor: Sub-Vendor ID of this board
•wSubDevice: Sub-Device ID of this board
•wSubAux: Sub-Aux ID of this board
3. PC’s physical slot information for the PC:
•wSlotBus: The position of hardware slot ID1 in this PC
•wSlotDevice: The position of hardware slot ID2 in this PC
The PIO_PISO.exe utility program will detect and display the details for all
PIO/PISO cards installed in the PC. Refer to Chapter 4 for more information.
