SECTION 1. Installation

The PIO-48 can be installed in any of the PC expansion slots, except J8 on the original IBM

"XT" and Portable. Remove the PC case, remove the blank metal slot cover, and insert the

board. Replace the screw, replace the case, and the installation is complete.

Be sure to set the address and jumper options before installation.

SECTION 2. Address Selection

The PIO-48 occupies 8 consecutive I/O locations. Dip-switch SW1 sets the base address for

the PIO-48. Be careful when selecting the base address as some selections conflict with

existing PC ports. The following table shows several examples that usually do not cause a

conflict.

ADDRESS BINARY SWITCH POSITION SETTING:

Hex A9 A0 1234567

280-287 1010000XXX OFF ON OFF ON ON ON ON

2A0-2A7 1010100XXX OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON ON

2E8-2EF 1011101XXX OFF ON OFF OFF OFF ON OFF

2F8-2FF 1011111XXX OFF ON OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF

3E8-3EF 1111101XXX OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON OFF

300-307 1100000XXX OFF OFF ON ON ON ON ON

328-32F 1100101XXX OFF OFF ON ON OFF ON OFF

3F8-3FF 1111111XXX OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF

Typically COM1: = 3F8h; COM2: = 2F8h; COM3: = 3E8h; COM4: = 2E8h.

Figure 1

Address Selection Table

The following illustration shows the correlation between the dip-switch setting and the address

bits used to determine the base address. In the example below, the address 300 hex through

307 hex is selected. 300 HEX =11 0000 0XXX In binary representation.

Dip-Switch Illustration

NOTE: Setting the switch "On" or "Closed" corresponds to a "0" in the address, while

leaving it "Off" or "Open" corresponds to a "1".

SECTION 3. Options

Wait States

The PIO-48 has the option of inserting one 500 nS wait state for each access. This may be

required on certain machines with bus clocks in excess of 8 MHz. With the wide variety of

machines available, no concrete rules exist concerning wait states. If the PIO-48 doesn't

seem to be responding properly, try inserting a wait state.

To enable wait state insertion, set position 8 of the dip-switch to "ON". To disable wait states,

set position 8 "OFF".

Interrupts

The headers marked J5 and J6 allow the use of interrupts with the parallel ports. J5 selects

IRQ2 through IRQ7 for Port 1 (U9 and J1), while J6 selects the IRQ for Port 2 (U16 and J3).

Port 1

Port 2

Figure 3

J5 & J6 Interrupt Header ( Shown in Factory Default )

The interrupt input is available on the optional DB-37 cable connector at pin 1. This input is

active high, logic level 1, and must be enabled by pin 2, interrupt enable, which is active low,

or logic level 0. The enable line can be tied to ground if desired to always keep the interrupt

enabled. This implementation allows either positive or negative logic input to cause an IRQ to

be generated. Please contact Sealevel Systems Technical Support for further information.

The use of interrupts also requires special software to initialize the 8259 interrupt controller

and set the appropriate interrupt service routine vector, etc. Please refer to the IBM

Technical Reference Manual for more details.

SECTION 4. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The PIO-48 utilizes two 8255 Parallel input/output (I/O) chips. Each chip provides three eight-

bit parallel I/O ports for a total of 48 I/O Lines. The ports within each 8255 are organized as

ports A, B, C, and D. For further information on the functionality of the 8255 refer to the 8255

data sheets at the end of this manual.

Ports A, B and C, can be input or output, meaning that they can be read (or input from), and

written (output) to. Port D is the Control Register, which determines whether ports A, B and

C are input or output. The Control Register sets the mode and direction for each port A, B,

and C. On power-on reset, the 8255 is reset and initialized with all 24 I/O lines as inputs. The

Control Register is normally written to at the beginning of a program, even if all ports are to be

input ports. I/O port offset addresses from Base Address (ex. 300 Hex)

8255 #1 (U9) PORT A 300 HEX 768 DECIMAL I/O PORT

PORT B 301 HEX 769 DECIMAL I/O PORT

PORT C 302 HEX 770 DECIMAL I/O PORT

PORT D 303 HEX 771 DECIMAL CONTROL REGISTER

8255 #2 (U16) PORT A 304 HEX 772 DECIMAL I/O PORT

PORT B 305 HEX 772 DECIMAL I/O PORT

PORT C 306 HEX 774 DECIMAL I/O PORT

PORT D 307 HEX 775 DECIMAL CONTROL REGISTER

Software Installation

For proper operation install software first. To install the software place the CD in

your CD-ROM tray and the auto-run program will start. If auto-run is not available,

browse the CD and choose “index.htm”. Choose Install Software at the beginning

of the CD. Select the Digital I/O software drivers and install SeaIO prior to

installing hardware.

Connectors

The PIO-48 provides two connectors for each port. The first connector (J1 and J3) is a 50 pin

header designed to mate with an optional ribbon cable to a solid state relay I/O module rack.

The second connector, (J2 and J4) is a 40 pin header that connects through an optional

ribbon cable to a DB-37 (male) connector that matches the pin-out of the Metrabyte™ PIO-12

board. These cables are available from Sealevel Systems.

Programming With The API

Application Programmers Interface (API)

Most modern operating systems do not allow direct hardware access. The

SeaIO driver and API have been included to provide control over the hardware

in Windows and Linux environments.

The purpose of this section of the manual is to help the customer with the

mapping of the API to the actual inputs for the 4030 specifically. Complete

documentation of the API can be found in its accompanying help file.

Interrupts:

Interrupt sampling can be set up in the API. Refer to the API section in the

SeaI/O help file for more detailed information.

Port C

Port C of each bank has the ability to be configured as two four bit ports. If

both lower and upper nibbles are configured the same then no special

considerations need to be made. But if they are configured differently, one

nibble as input, and one as output then the user will have to keep this in mind.

Port C absolute addressing (when port C is split)

When reading, the input nibble will be returned on the corresponding

upper or lower nibble while the outputs will be returned on their

corresponding upper or lower nibble. When writing, the corresponding

nibble will be written to the output nibble, while the input nibble will

have its output register written to. The output register can be written

to without affecting the inputs. These will be eight bit operations and it

will up to the programmer to keep track of the two four bit nibbles.

Port C relative addressing (when port C is split)

The input and output nibbles will each be treated as individual four bit

ports.

Port Configuration:

Each eight-bit port can be configured as inputs or outputs. The API provides a

set adapter state call to access the control words. For this device, two control

word is used. Refer to the following table.

Note: The control panel also allows youto configure the device. Your program

can over ride the control panel configuration when executed, but the control

panel configuration will be the default on power up. The default settings are

based on the settings in the control panel application when last changed and

saved after re-booting.

8255 Control Word 0: Bank 1 (A1, B1, C1)

8255 Control Word 1: Bank 2 (A2, B2, C2)

Relative Addressing vs. Absolute Addressing

The SeaIO API makes a distinction between “absolute” and “relative”

addressing modes. In absolute addressing mode, the Port argument to the API

function acts as a simple byte offset from the base I/O address of the device.

For instance, Port #0 refers to the I/O address base + 0; Port #1 refers to the

I/O address base + 1.

Relative addressing mode, on the other hand, refers to input and output ports in

a logical fashion. With a Port argument of 0 and an API function meant to

output data, the first (0th) output port on the device will be utilized. Likewise,

with a Port argument of 0 and an API function designed to input data, the first

(0th) input port of the device will be utilized.

In all addressing modes, port numbers are zero-indexed; that is, the first port is

port #0, the second port is #1, the third #2, and so on.
