1. IntroductionThe PIO-D56/PIO-D24 provides 56/24 TTL digital I/O lines. The PIO-D56 consists of one 24-bit bi-directional port, one 16-bit input port and one 16-bit output port. However, PIO-D24 only contains the 24-bit bi-directional port.The 24-bit port supports three 8-bit groups, which are PA, PB and PC,respectively. Each 8-bit group can be individually configured to function asdigital input or output port. Each group in a 24-bit bi-directional port isconfigured as digital inputs once the power is turned on or if a reset has beenexecuted.DB-24PD is the daughter board, which is designed to connect the inputport for either isolation purposes or to interface to the output port for relaycontrol. PIO-D24 has one D-sub connector. However, The PIO-D56 containsone D-sub connector and two 20-pin flat cables. The flat cable can beconnected to an ADP-20/PCI adapter. The adapter can be fixed onto thechassis. This product can be installed into a 5V PCI bus and supports actual“Plug & Play” technology.1.1 Features• PCI bus• Up to 56/24(PIO-D56/PIO-D24) digital I/O channels lines• All I/O lines buffered on the board• 3 Eight-bit groups independently selectable for I/O on 24-bit port• Input / Output ports can be configured via software control• Double side SMD, short card.• Connects directly to DB-24PR, DB-24PD, DB-24RD,DB-24PRD, DB-16P8R, DB-24POR, DB-24SSR, DB-24C or any OPTO-22compatible daughter board• 4 interrupt sources: P2C0, P2C1, P2C2, P2C3• One DB37 connector, two 20-pin flat cable connectors (only for PIO-D56)• High driving capability• Automatically detected by Windows 95/98/2000/XP• No base address or IRQ switches to setPIO-D56/PIO-D24 User’s Manual (Ver.2.3, JUN/2004, PPH-005-23) ---- 4
