RS232IO module (Item No. #C01)

RS232IO is a general-purpose input and output module. It is connected to RS232 port of a computer. It features 24 digital programmable input/output lines and 5 analogue input lines (2.5V fully range and 8 bit A/D resolution). The I/O lines are organised into three 8-bit port, B, C and D. Each port can be configured as input (all lines are input) or output (all lines are output). The system uses 3 wires of RS232 port to communicate with host PC (TX, RX and Ground).

The system accepts various commands from the host through its RS232 port:
These commands include:
(1) to configure 24 input and output lines and to read back the configuration
(2) to output data or to read data into the computer
(3) to read analogue voltages into the host computer

Centronic 24-line programmable I/O card ---- CIO
(Item No. #C02)

CIO.jpg (8382 bytes)The CIO-1 Centronic 24-line programmable I/O card is a general-purpose I/O card. It is connected to a computer via a Centronic port. It offers 24 TTL input/output lines, organised into 4 groups: Port A, Port B, upper four bits of Port C and lower four bits of Port C. Each group can be configured as an input or output port. The 24 I/O lines are available from a 26-way male DIL PCB header for easy connection. It requires an 7-15V DC (1A) power supply.

A DOS-based program "CIODos" and a Windows95/98 program "CIOWin" are supplied with the I/O card. The programs allow users to check functionality of the card. A Turbo Pascal 6 unit and 16-bit Windows Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) are also supplied with the card. They contain basic I/O procedures. After declaring them in user’s programs, users can call them anywhere in their TP6 or Windows’ programs.

RS232 16-line I/O card - SIO   (Item No. #C03)

SIO.jpg (9757 bytes)This I/O card is connected to a computer via a serial port (RS232 port). The card provides 8 output lines and 8 input lines. Each line is TTL compatible. The 16 I/O lines are available from a 20-way male DIL PCB header for easy connection. The I/O card is connected to a PC via only three wires of the RS232 port (namely TX, RX and Ground). The Baud rate is programmable (1200, 2400, 4800 and 9600). There is no parity check bit. Data bit length is 8 and the number of stop bit is 1. A byte transmitted from the host computer appears at the output lines of the card. After each successful transmission, the card sends a byte, which appears at the inputs, back to the computer. The card requires a 7-15V DC (1A) power supply. An on-board 1A fuse is on the card.

A DOS-based program "SIODos" and a Windows95/98 program "SIOWin" are supplied with the I/O card. They allow users to check functionality of the card. A Turbo Pascal 6 unit is supplied with the card, which contains basic I/O functions for controlling the I/O card. After declaring the unit in a TP6 programs, users can call the functions anywhere in the TP6 programs. The "SIOWin" is written in Visual Basic 5. Since VB5 has a serial port control "MSCOMM", you can use this to control the I/O card directly without using any external DLLs.
