Chapter 1
Introducing the PCI-DIO96H
Overview: PCI-DIO96H features
This manual explains how to install and use the PCI-DIO96H board. The PCI-DIO96H is a high-density, logic-
level digital I/O board designed for the PCI-bus.
The PCI-DIO96H provides 96-bits of digital I/O. The I/O is organized into four 24-bit groups based on an
82C55 mode 0 emulation. Each 24-bit group is divided into three eight-bit ports labeled PORTA, PORTB and
PORTC. PORTC can be split into two four-bit nibbles —Port C-HI and Port C-LO. Each of these ports may be
individually programmed as input or output.
All digital inputs are LSTTL. The output signals are buffered high output drive TTL. The digital output drivers
are 74S244 chips that can sink 64 mA and source 15 mA. The input buffers are 74LS373 chips and have
standard high input impedance of the 74LS series devices.
On power up and reset, all I/O bits are set to input mode. If you are using the board to control items that must be
OFF on reset, install pull-down resistors. Each board is equipped with open locations where you can install SIP
resistor networks for either pull-up or pull-down.
The PCI-DIO96H board is completely plug-and-play, with no jumpers or switches to set. All board addresses
are set by the board's plug-and-play software. Board configuration is controlled by your system's BIOS.
Software features
For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your PCI-DIO96H, refer to the
Quick Start Guide that shipped with your device. The Quick Start Guide is also available in PDF at
www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf.
Check www.mccdaq.com/download.htm for the latest software version or versions of the software supported
under less commonly used operating systems.

Unpacking the PCI-DIO96H
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the PCI-DIO96H from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by
simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
If any components are missing or damaged, notify Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by
phone, fax, or e-mail:
Phone: [phone] and follow the instructions for reaching Tech Support.
Fax: [phone] to the attention of Tech Support
Email: [e-mail]
Installing the software
Install the software included with your board before you install the hardware. Installing the software first
ensures that the information required for proper board detection is installed and available at boot up.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing the software on the Measurement Computing Data
Acquisition Software CD. This booklet is available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-
Quick-Start.pdf.
Installing the hardware
The PCI-DIO96H board is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches or jumpers to set on the board.
Configuration is controlled by your system's BIOS. To install your board, follow the steps below.
Install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board
The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software. Therefore, you need to install the
MCC DAQ software before you install your board. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing
the software.
1. Turn your computer off, open it up, and insert your board into an available PCI slot.
2. Close your computer and turn it on.
If you are using an operating system with support for plug-and-play (such as Windows 2000 or Windows
XP), a dialog box pops up as the system loads indicating that new hardware has been detected. If the
information file for this board is not already loaded onto your PC, you will be prompted for the disk
containing this file. The MCC DAQ software contains this file. If required, insert the Measurement
Computing Data Acquisition Software CD and click OK.
3. To test your installation and configure your board, run the InstaCal utility installed in the previous section.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your board for information on how to initially set up and
load InstaCal.

The PCI-DIO96H board has a 100-pin, high-density Robinson-Nugent male connector. Connector pinouts are
listed on page 12. The C100FF-x cable can be used to split the 100 I/O lines into two, 50-pin cables.
Board connector pins 1 to 50 are mapped directly to pins 1 to 50 on the C100FF-xcable's first 50-pin connector.
Board connector pins 51 to 100 are mapped directly to pins 1 to 50 on the C100FF-xcable's second 50-pin
connector (pin 51 is mapped to pin 1, and pin 100 is mapped to pin 50.) A sample C100FF-x cable
configuration is shown in Figure 2 on page 13.
Information on signal connections
General information regarding signal connection and configuration is available in the Guide to Signal
Connections. This document is available on our web site at www.mccdaq.com/signals/signals.pdf.
Caution! When connecting a cable to the board's I/O connector, make sure that the arrow indicating pin 1
on the board connector lines up with the arrow indicating pin 1 on the cable connector. Incorrectly
connected cables can damage the board and the I/O controller.

Functional Details
CIO-ERB24 and SSR-RACK24 daisy chain configuration
Many relay and solid-state relay (SSR) racks provide only 24-bits of digital I/O. You can configure the CIO-
ERB24 relay output board and SSR-RACK24 I/O module rack in a daisy chain configuration to use all of the
digital I/O bits provided by the PCI-DIO96H board. An example of the daisy chain configuration scheme for
each board is shown below.
The PCI-DIO96H board provides digital I/O in a group of 96 bits. Each of the C100FF-x cable's 50-pin
connectors provides 48 bits. To use all of the board's 96 digital I/O bits to control relays and/or SSRs, configure
the daisy chain as shown in Figure 3.

The 24 digital I/O bits on pins 1-24 control the first relay board on the chain. The 24 digital I/O bits on pins 25-
50 control the second relay/SSR board on the daisy chain and so on, for up to 100 pins.
82C55 emulation
The PCI-DIO96H board emulates the 82C55 chip. The 82C55 emulation initializes all ports as inputs on power-
up and reset. A TTL input is a high impedance input. If you connect another TTL input device to the output, it
could be turned on or off every time the board is reset.
To establish a consistent TTL level at power-up, use resistors tied to either +5V (pull-up) or ground (pull-
down). There are open locations for pull-up and pull-down resistor packs on the board.
Whenever an 82C55 emulation is powered on or reset, all pins are set to high-impedance input. Based on
standard TTL functionality, these inputs will typically float high, and may have enough drive current to turn on
external devices.
Consequently, if you have output devices such as solid state relays, they may be switched on whenever the
computer is powered on or reset. To prevent unwanted switching, and to drive all outputs to a known state after
power on or reset, pull all pins either high or low through a 2.2 K resistor.

PCI-DIO96H User's Guide Functional Details
16
Pull-up and pull-down resistors
The PCI-DIO96H board has open locations where you can install a 2.2 K , eight-resistor single inline package
(SIP) resistor network for each port. The locations are marked PORT#A, PORT#B and PORT#C (RN10 through
RN21), and are adjacent to the I/O connector. PORT0A corresponds to FIRSTPORTA, PORT1A corresponds
to SECONDPORTA, etc, as shown on the pinout diagram.
The SIP is made up of eight 2.2 K resistors. One side of each resistor is connected to a single common point and
brought out to a pin. The common line is marked with a dot or line at one end of the SIP. The remaining resistor
ends are brought out to the other eight pins (refer to Figure 4).
2.2 KOhm SIP
Dot
(LO or HI)
I/O Lines
Figure 4. Eight-Resistor SIP Schematic
The SIP may be installed as pull-up or pull-down. At each RN# location, there are 10 holes in a line. One end of
the line is +5V, the other end is GND. They are marked HI and LO respectively. The eight holes in the middle
are connected to the eight lines of a port.
For a pull-up function, mount the SIP with the common pin (marked with a dot or line) in the HI position.
For a pull-down function, mount the SIP with the common pin in the LO position.
When installing pull-up and pull-down resistor SIP packs, we recommend using a 2.2 K, eight-resistor SIP
(MCC part number SP-K2.29C).
Unconnected inputs float
Unconnected inputs typically float high, but not reliably. If you are using a PCI-DIO96H board for input and
have unconnected inputs, ignore the data from those lines. You do not have to terminate input lines, and
unconnected lines will not affect the performance of connected lines. Ensure that you mask out any
unconnected bits in software.
