3. Installation  
3.1 Card Setup  
The Relay Output Card PCI is a fully compliant PCI plug-and-play adapter. The  
I/O address is auto-assigned by either your system BIOS or your plug-and-play  
operating system.  
3.2 Software Installation

Choose Install Software at the beginning of the CD, select the Digital I/O software  
drivers, and install SeaI/O.  
3.3 System Installation  
The Relay Output Card PCI can be installed in any of the PCI expansion slots.  
1. Turn off the PC’s power. Disconnect the power cord.  
2. Remove the PC’s case cover.  
3. Locate an available PCI slot and remove the blank metal slot cover.  
4. Gently insert the Relay Output Card PCI into the slot. Make sure that the card  
is seated properly.

CHAPTER 4: Technical Description  
4. Technical Description  
The Relay Output Card PCI provides four parallel reed relay output ports. The  
ports are organized as 1, 2, 3, and 4.  
4.1 Features  
• 32 SPST relays  
• DB37 connectors  
• Highly reliable 10-VA DIP reed relays used  
• Multiple cards can reside in the same computer  
• PCI 2.1 bus compliant  
4.2 Reed Relays  
Reed relays provide very-high-quality, long-life, low-power, dry-contact switch  
closures. Reed relays are not suited for high-current applications, and they can be  
destroyed by capacitive or inductive load switching. The relays are normally open,  
and they close when energized.  
See Chapter 1 for relay specifications.  
4.3 Software  
®
The Relay Output Card PCI comes with a suite of Windows drivers. These drivers  
provide a consistent and straightforward applications program interface (API),  
allowing the developer to concentrate on the details of the application as opposed  
to low-level driver development. Popular development environments, including  
Visual C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi, are supported for application development.  
®
Windows 98/Me/XP, Windows NT , and Windows 2000 drivers are included.  
®
For DOS, QNX, Linux , and other operating systems, please refer to the software  
included with your card.

RELAY OUTPUT CARD PCI  
4.4 Programming Examples  
Below are several simple examples using 80x86 assembly code for energizing and  
checking the state of the reed relays on the Relay Output Card PCI. All examples  
assume a base address of 300 Hex.  
Example #1: Programming example to set Relay #27 on, write a “1” in bit position  
D2, to port address Base+3, or 303 Hex.  
MOV DX, 303H  
MOV AL, 00001000B  
OUT DX, AL  
;Set DX to Port D  
;Set bit 3 to a ‘1’  
Example #2: Another method that takes into account the read-back capability of the  
output ports.  
MOV DX, 303H  
IN AL, DX  
NOT AL  
OR AL, 00001000B  
OUT DX, AL  
;Set DX to Port D  
;Get old port setting  
;Invert bits- see note below  
;OR in bit 3  
;Set Bit 3  
NOTE  
Reading back the ports results in the binary complement of the output.

P4D5 P4D4 P4D3 P4D2 P4D1 P4D0  
R/W = Read/Write bits  
NOTE  
The reed relay ports have a non-destructive readback capability.  
Reading back the ports results in the binary complement of the output.  
This is particularly useful when writing software that queries the last  
value written to prevent inadvertently changing the state of the relays.

CHAPTER 4: Technical Description  
4.6 Connector and Jumper Pinout  
Each relay has two sides, an A side and a B side. Each side is connected to two  
places: the cable and the jumpers on the top of the board. Tables 4-2 through 4-5  
provide the pinouts for the two DB37 cable ends and the onboard jumpers.  
For easy wiring, the card’s DB37 connector can be interfaced directly to the  
terminal block kit (if you ordered IC907C, you’ll need part number EDN37-SP).  
The kit, consisting of a 6-ft. (1.8-m) male/female cable and screw terminal block,  
provides a simple means to connect field wiring to the 37-pin cards. The terminal  
block provides both male and female DB37 connectors, eliminating the need for  
gender changers and other adapters while simplifying cable connections. If you  
ordered IC908C (the Relay Output Card PCI—32 Outputs/Kit), the terminal  
blocks are already included.

The common on each port may be tied to ground, 5, or 12 volts. Either side of  
each relay then may be tied to the common. Figure 4-1 shows an example setup.  
• Port 4: The common is tied to ground (GND). The A side of port-4 relay 3  
(K27) is tied to the common. The B side of port-4 relay 6 (K30) is tied to the  
common.  
• Port 3: The common is tied to ground (GND). The A side of port-3 relay 2  
(K18) is tied to the common. The B side of port-3 relay 5 (K21) is tied to the  
common.  
• Port 2: The common is tied to 5 volts. The B side of port-2 relay 4 (K12) is tied  
to the common.  
• Port 1: The common is tied to 12 volts. The A side of port-1 relay 1 (K1) is tied

RELAY OUTPUT CARD PCI  
Appendix A. Troubleshooting  
A.1 Tips  
Following these simple steps can eliminate most common problems.  
1. Install software first. After installing the software, add the hardware. This  
places the required installation files in the correct locations.  
2. Identify all I/O adapters currently installed in your system. This includes your  
onboard serial ports, controller cards, sound cards, etc. The I/O addresses  
used by these adapters, as well as the IRQ (if any), should be identified.  
3. Make sure that there is no conflict with currently installed cards. No two cards  
can occupy the same I/O address and may not be allowed to share IRQs.
