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.

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.

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.

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.
4. Make sure that the systems card is securely installed in a motherboard slot.
A.2 Calling Black Box
If you determine that your Relay Output Card PCI is malfunctioning, do not
attempt to alter or repair the unit. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Contact
Black Box at 724-746-5500.
Before you do, make a record of the history of the problem. We will be able to
provide more efficient and accurate assistance if you have a complete description,
including:
• the nature and duration of the problem.
• when the problem occurs.
• the components involved in the problem.
• any particular application that, when used, appears to create the problem or
make it worse.

APPENDIX A: Troubleshooting
A.3 Shipping and Packaging
If you need to transport or ship your Relay Output Card PCI:
• Package it carefully. We recommend that you use the original container.
• If you are shipping the Relay Output Card PCI for repair, make sure you
include everything that came in the original package. Before you ship, contact
Black Box to get a Return Authorization (RA) number.
