Base address
The easiest way to se
guide your base address selection.
Each I/O board uses one or more I/O address locations within your com
starting location that software writes to when communicating with the CIO-DIO24. A set of DIP switches is
used to set the base address. By placing the switch down, the CIO-DIO24 address decode logic is instructed to
respond to that address bit. A complete address is constructed by calculating the HEX or decimal number whi
corresponds to all the address bits the board has been instructed to respond to.
The board is shipped with the base address set to 300 hex (see Figure 2

When setting the base address, refer to the numbers printed in white on the printed circuit board.
Certain addresses are used by the computer. Other addresses are free, and may be used by the CIO-DIO24.
