Change-of-State detection (certain models).
Description
This series of cards provide as many as 48 optically-isolated inputs for AC/DC signals with Change-of-
State (COS) Detection capability. Each input is reverse polarity protected and rectified by photo-coupler
diodes. Standard 12/24 AC control transformer outputs can be accepted as well as DC voltages. The
input range is up to 60VDC or AC rms at frequencies of 40 to 10kHz.
Each input circuit contains a switchable filter that has a 4.7 millisecond time constant (without filtering, the
response is less than 30 microseconds). The filter must be selected for AC inputs in order to eliminate the
on/off response to AC. The filter is also valuable for use with slow DC input signals in a noisy
environment. The filter may be switched out for DC inputs in order to obtain faster response. Filters are
individually selected by jumpers. See Figures 1-1 and 3-1 for jumper arrangements.
The Change-of-State (COS) Detection capability (denoted by a “C” after the model number) provides a
means to automatically interrupt the host computer in real time. When one or more input bits change
state, a PCI interrupt is generated. That interrupt, in turn, can be used by your application program to
initiate a poll of the inputs, then signal appropriate alarms, and/or initiate scan of other I/O points that
have not been previously activated. This can greatly simplify your application program and eliminate need
to continuously poll inputs. COS Detection is enabled/disabled for all 3 groups of 16 bits. Chapter 5
describes the programming aspects of the COS feature.
These cards provide a much lower cost per point than externally-mounted, optically-isolated, solid-state
modules or PLCs. Input connections are via ribbon-cable headers on the card, and a tie-down bar is
included to provide strain relief for those cables.
These cards are especially useful in applications where high-common-mode external voltages are
present as found in factory automation, energy management, security systems, and process monitoring
applications. In addition to protecting your computer from accidental contact with high external
voltages, the isolation provided eliminates troublesome ground loops.
There are 48-bit, 32-bit, and 16-bit versions. The latter two models are de-populated versions of the
48-bit card. Further, letters are appended to the model numbers to signify options included on the
card. Refer to Table 1-1 for model specific information.

**Note on Isolation: Opto-Isolators and connectors are rated for at least 500V, but isolation voltage
breakdowns will vary and is affected by factors like cabling, spacing of pins, spacing between traces on
the PCB, humidity, dust and other environmental factors. This is a safety issue so a careful approach is
required. For CE certification, isolation was specified at 60V DC or AC rms. The design intention was to
eliminate the influence of common mode. Use proper wiring techniques to minimize voltage between
channels and to ground. Tolerance of higher isolation voltage can be obtained on request by applying a
conformal coating to the board.

Do not install card into the computer until the software has been fully installed.
Turn OFF computer power AND unplug AC power from the system.
Remove the computer cover.
Carefully install the card in an available 5V or 3.3V PCI expansion slot (you may need to remove
a backplate first).
5.
Inspect for proper fit of the card and tighten screws. Make sure that the card mounting bracket is
properly screwed into place and that there is a positive chassis ground.
Install an I/O cable onto the card’s bracket mounted connector.
Replace the computer cover and turn ON the computer which should auto-detect the card
(depending on the operating system) and automatically finish installing the drivers.
Run PCIfind.exe to complete installing the card into the registry (for Windows only) and to
determine the assigned resources.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Run one of the provided sample programs that was copied to the newly created card directory
(from the CD) to test and validate your installation.
The base address assigned by BIOS or the operating system can change each time new
hardware is installed into or removed from the computer. Please recheck PCIFind or Device
Manager if the hardware configuration is changed. Software you write can automatically
determine the base address of the card using a variety of methods depending on the operating
system. In DOS, the PCI\SOURCE directory shows the BIOS calls used to determine the
address and IRQ assigned to installed PCI devices. In Windows, the Windows sample programs
demonstrate querying the registry entries (created by PCIFind and NTIOPCI.SYS during boot-up)
to determine this same information.

Filter Response Switch
Jumpers are used to select input filtering on a channel-by-channel basis (see Figure 3-1). When jumper
FLT0 is installed, filtering is introduced for input bit 0, FLT1 for bit 1, and so on. The tables below describe
filtering for Port 0. Ports 1 and 2 follow the same pattern with Port 1 having FLT16-31 (Bits 16-31) and
Port 2 having FLT32-47 (Bits 32-47). Filtering provides a slower response for DC signals as described
previously and must be used when AC inputs are applied.

Chapter 4: Address Selection
This card uses I/O addresses offset from the base address assigned by the PCI bus. The address spaces
are defined in the Programming section of this manual.
PCI architecture is Plug-and-Play. This means that the BIOS or Operating System determines the
resources assigned to PCI cards rather than the user selecting these resources with switches or jumpers.
As a result, you cannot set or change the card’s base address or IRQ level. You can only determine what
the system has assigned.
To determine the base address that has been assigned, run the PCIFind utility program. This utility will
display a list of all the cards detected on the PCI bus, the addresses assigned to each function on each of
the cards, and the respective IRQs.
Alternatively, Windows systems can be queried to determine which resources were assigned. In these
operating systems, you can use either PCIFind, or the Device Manager utility from the System Properties
applet of the control panel. The card is installed in the Data Acquisition class of the Device Manager list.
Selecting the card, clicking Properties, and then selecting the Resources Tab will display a list of the
resources allocated to the card.
The PCI bus supports 64K of I/O address space, so your card’s addresses may be located anywhere in
the 0000h to FFFFh range. The card occupies eight consecutive 8 bit registers in the I/O address space.
PCIFind uses the Vendor ID and Device ID to search for your card, then reads the base address and
IRQ. If you want to determine the base address and IRQ without using PCIFind, use the following
information:
The Vendor ID code is 494F (ASCII for “I/O”)
The Device ID code for the card is 0920
An example of how to locate PCI card resources is provided in the PCI/SOURCE directory, under your
installation directory. This code runs in DOC, and uses the PCI defined interrupt BIOS calls to query the
PCI bus for card-specific information. You will need the Device ID and Vendor ID listed above to use this
code.

data data data data data data data data
Reading a byte from the Port Data Base Address reads the 8 bits associated with that half of a port. The
Addresses labeled “Low Byte” are associated with pins 1 through 25, and the Addresses labeled “High
Byte” are associated with pin 26 through 50, as shown in Chapter 6, connector pin assignments.
Writing to these addresses has no effect.
Address Base +7 is used to control and monitor Change-of-State IRQs. To enable COS IRQs, write a “1"
to bit 7; disable by writing “0" to bit 7. This enable status can be read back; that is, a read from Base +7
will show bit 7 High (“1") while COS IRQs are enabled. While COS IRQs are enabled, any change of input
level (low-to-high or high-to-low) on any of the 48 bits will cause an IRQ to be generated. After an IRQ is
generated, bit 6 of Base +7 will be set Low (“0"), which can be used to confirm that a shared interrupt was
generated by this card. Any read of Base +7 will clear the IRQ latch and return bit 6 to its High (“1") state.
Please note: Enabling or Disabling IRQs does not clear the IRQ latch. If you disable IRQs while one is
pending, it is still required to read from Base +7 to clear the pending IRQ.
