CYERB 24 and CYSSR 24 daisy chain configuration
Many relay and solid-state relay (SSR) racks provide only 24-bits of digital I/O. You can configure the CYERB
24 relay output board and CYSSR 24 I/O module rack in a daisy chain configuration to use all of the digital I/O
bits provided by the CYDIO 96HE board. An example of the daisy chain configuration scheme for each board
is shown below.
The CYDIO 96HE board provides digital I/O in a group of 96 bits. Each of the CBL 100xx cable's 50-pin
connectors provides 48 bits. To use all of the board's 96 digital I/O bits to control relays and/or SSRs, configure
the daisy chain as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4. CYDIO 96HE to CBL 100xx to relay rack daisy chain cabling
The 24 digital I/O bits on pins 1-24 control the first relay board on the chain. The 24 digital I/O bits on pins
25-50 control the second relay/SSR board on the daisy chain and so on, for up to 100 pins.
82C55 emulation (mode 0)
The CYDIO 96HE emulates the 82C55 chip (mode 0). The 82C55 emulation initializes all ports as inputs on
power-up and reset. A TTL input is a high impedance input. If you connect another TTL input device to the
output, it could be turned on or off every time the board is reset.
To establish a consistent TTL level at power-up, configure each port resistor with
Insta
Cal for either pull-up or
pull-down.
Whenever an 82C55 emulation is powered on or reset, all pins are set to high-impedance input. Based on
standard TTL functionality, these inputs typically float high, and may have enough drive current to turn on
external devices. Consequently, if you have output devices such as solid state relays, they may be switched on
whenever the computer is powered on or reset. To prevent unwanted switching, and to drive all outputs to a
known state after power on or reset, configure each port resistor with
Insta
Cal.
Unconnected inputs are forced to the pull direction
Unconnected inputs will float in the pull direction that is configured for the port with
Insta
Cal (either up/high or
down/low).
