Introduction
The PIO-48 part number 4030 digital I/O interface provides 48 channels of buffered
drive digital I/O emulating 8255 mode zero. The PIO-48 can be utilized for a variety
of control and automation applications including control and monitoring of TTL
devices (e.g. LEDs, small solenoids, small relays) and interfacing to solid-state relay
racks (SSRs) for high-power AC or DC loads.
The PIO-48’s 48 digital I/O channels are accessed via two 50-pin header connectors
with industry-standard pin out. Each header provides 24 bits of digital I/O divided
into three eight-bit groups. Each eight-bit group may be individually configured via
software command as input or output to best match your particular application
requirements.
The PIO-48 is designed to be used with a variety of Operating Systems including
Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP, Linux and DOS. The SeaI/O API (Application
Programmer Interface) included on CD with the PIO-48 provides a variety of useful
high-level function calls implemented as a Windows dynamic link library (DLL) and
as a Linux kernel module and library. In addition to the API, SeaI/O includes
sample code and utilities to simplify software development.
