Install the board in a spare PCI Slot (See Installation for CE compliance). Power up system with MSDOS. Run APCI.EXE (supplied on the utility disk), this will search for the board and check I/O access. If this fails, check board is correctly located. Warning This board contains CMOS devices which may be damaged by static electricity. Please ensure antistatic precautions are taken at all times when handling this board. If for any reason this board is returned to Arcom Control Systems, please ensure it is adequately packed to prevent damage during shipment.

PCI bus also supports Plug and Play configuration which allows the system software to allocate resources during initialisation helping to overcome resource conflicts, which might exist in a system. The APCI-IB40 uses a single chip PCI bus slave controller which is designed and manufactured by PLX Technology. This device has been designed to fully support the PCI 2.1 specification and provides plug and play software capabilities. During power-up initialisation the PCI BIOS will detect the card and assign a unique I/O address location and interrupt line. This ensures that there are no resource conflicts on the PCI bus. Multiple cards are supported through this mechanism without the need for address decode links. The PLX device contains a standard type 00H configuration space header. The table below shows the registers within this header which are required for configuration of the APCI-IB40. Configuration Space Header Offset 00-01H 02-03H 18-1BH 2C-2DH 2E-2FH 3CH Register Name Vendor ID Device ID Base Address Register Subsytem Vendor ID Subsystem ID Interrupt Line Description ID of PCI device manufacturer ID of PCI device I/O base address assigned to card ID of board manufacturer ID of Board Interrupt line assigned to device Value 10B5H (PLX Technology) 9050H 0000xxxx 13ABH (ARCOM) 0591H (APCI-IB40) 0x These registers can be accessed using PCI BIOS functions. Please contact Arcom control systems customer support team (Tel: 01223 412428) for a copy of the PCI BIOS Specification if required. Digital I/O If an I/O line is to be used as an output, writing a ‘0’ to the corresponding bit in the output register will turn the output buffer on and it will sink current. This will force the output line to a logic ‘0’. When the software output enable feature is selected the output control latch must be written to with 01H before the outputs will be enabled. Since each output has an open collector drive, each line can alternatively be configured as an input by switching the output buffer OFF (Writing ‘1’ to the corresponding bit in the output register) and then driving the line either high or pulling it low via an external source. For lines using the software output enable feature the power-up links can be used to set the outputs to a defined state at power on. If the output buffers are permanently enabled the power up state can not be guaranteed. Page 2 J591 APCI-IB40 2192-09099-000-000 Electrical configuration of each digital I/O line: Note:- If an I/O line is to be configured as an input, it is necessary that the power-up link for that group of lines is set in the ‘A’ position. This means that any lines to be used as outputs will be set high, or OFF. A good rule is to keep the lines to be used as inputs and those to be used as outputs in separate groups of eight I/O lines. Timer/Counter The APCI-IB40 contains an 8254 compatible timer/counter. This device contains three 16-bit counters, each with its own clock input, gate input and output pin. The clock input to counter 0 is driven from an on board frequency source which is selected by LK1 to be 1MHZ, 100KHZ or 10KHZ, and the output can be used to generate an interrupt signal. The clock and gate inputs for the remaining counters are derived from I/O lines 24-27, and the output signals are routed to I/O lines 16-17 via LK3-4. As this device is compatible with the counter/timer used on a PC/AT motherboard programming information can be found in most PC reference guides. A data sheet for this device can be obtained from our customer support team if required (Tel: 01223 412428). I/O Map The APCI-IB40 uses an indexed I/O addressing scheme to access the on-board devices and special function registers. Two consecutive I/O locations are required to implement this scheme, the base address is used to set the index value and the base+1 address is used to access the device. The I/O base address is set by the PCI BIOS during initialisation (refer to the PCI Bus section of this manual for details). A PCI BIOS function call may be used to determine the base address once the system has been initialised. Multiple boards may be used in a system as each will be given a unique address.

Interrupts The APCI-IB40 has one interrupt output signal which is routed to an IRQ line during the PCI BIOS initialisation. This interrupt line is expanded on board to provide two interrupt sources. These interrupts are connected to the output signals from counter 0 and counter 1. An interrupt source register has been provided at index 05H (See Index Registers table). As PCI interrupts are level triggered the interrupt service routine must determine the source of the interrupt then clear the interrupt, this is achieved by reading from the base address location. A PCI BIOS call can be used to determine the IRQ signal assigned to this card. Page 4 J591 APCI-IB40 2192-09099-000-000 Links Throughout this section a ‘+’ indicates the default link position. Default Link Position Diagram Counter 0 Clock Frequency selection LK1 is used to select the clock frequency for counter 0. LK1 A+ B C CLK 0 Input 1MHZ 100KHZ 10KHZ Timer/Counter Output Signals LK3 & LK4 are used to route the counter/timer output signals to the 50 way I/O connector. These signals share pins with I/O lines 16 and 17. LK3 LK4 Connects timer/counter channel 2 output to ribbon cable pin 24 (I/O Line 17) Connects timer/counter channel 1 output to ribbon cable pin 23 (I/O Line 16) Note:- These signals are buffered before being sent to the links, and have the same open-collector output stage as the other I/O signals. When these links are fitted the corresponding output line should be set to a logic ‘1’ i.e. OFF. If the timer/counter outputs are not required the links should not be fitted. Power Up Output State Control LK10-14 are used to set the power up state of the digital I/O lines, which are to be used as outputs. Each link is associated with a group of eight I/O lines.
