Description
I-00 – I-17
16 input signal pins. Connect output signals from the external device to
these pins.
O-20 – O-37
16 output signal pins. Connect these pins to the input signal pins of the
external device.
NCOM
Connect the negative side of the external power supply. These pins
are common to all of input and output signal pins.
N.C.
This pin is left unconnected.
Board ID Setting Switch
If you install two or more boards on one personal computer, assign a different ID value to
each of the boards to distinguish them. Set a different value per board.
The board IDs can be set from 0 - Fh to identify up to sixteen boards. If only one board is
used, the original factory setting (Board ID = 0) should be used.
Input Circuit
The signal inputs are isolated by opto-couplers (ready to accept current sinking output
signals).
The current requirement to turn on the input is 6.4mA and a leakage current of less than
0.57mA is required to turn off the input.
Output Circuit
The signal output section is an opto-coupler isolated, open-collector output (current sink
type). The rated output current per channel is 100mA at maximum.
6. Setup
Driver software API-DIO(WDM) is required to setup this product. Download the software
from the CONTEC website beforehand. (https://www.contec.com/download/)
Follow the steps below to set up.
1. Software installation
STEP1: Extract the downloaded file. (ZIP)
STEP2: After the extraction, execute Setup.exe in the INF folder to install.
For Windows 10, execute Setup.exe in the Dio_ForWin10 folder. If it is not Windows
10, execute Setup.exe in the Dio folder.
2. Hardware installation
STEP1: Set this product into the expansion slot of the PC.
STEP2: Turn on the power of the PC.
STEP3: Installation process will finish automatically.
After that, proceed to “3. Software initialization”.
If the "Found New Hardware Wizard" appears, select "Install the software automati-
cally" and click the "Next" button.
3. Software initialization
STEP1: Run Device Manager.
STEP2: The installed hardware appears under the CONTEC Devices node. Open the
CONTEC Devices node and select the device you want to setup. Click [Properties].
STEP3: Enter the device name in the common settings tab page and then click [OK]. The
device name you set here is used later when programming.
STEP4: When you click "Diagnosis" on the common setting tab page, the diagnostic
program starts up. For details of the diagnostic program, refer to the driver help.
You can use the default device name as it is displayed. When making changes, make
sure that the device names do not overlap among multiple devices.
Above completes the settings.
Refer to Help (\Help\ENG\APITOOL.chm) regarding API function or sample programs.
