Programming 

For programming the device please use the Meilhaus Electronic 
Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS) included in your package. The 
ME-iDS is a unique driver system covering different devices and 
operating systems. It supports Windows 2000 and higher and 
contains a universal function library (API) for all common 
programming languages (the extent of the current software 
support can be found in the README-files of the ME-iDS). 

A detailed description of the functions can be found in the ME-iDS 
manual (see CD/DVD enclosed or online: 

www.meilhaus.de/download/ME-iDS.  

Further details regarding the assignment of the subdevices and 
device specific arguments can be found in the help file (help file 
format under Windows, *.chm) which can be accessed via the „ME-
iDS Control Center“ in the info area of the task bar (as a rule in 
the lower right corner of the screen) or via the Windows start 
menu. 

If you do not want to program your board with the ME-iDS but with 
the legacy driver you can find the last revision of the old function 
reference in the ME-630 manual Rev. 2.3 (see: 

www.meilhaus.com/download/ME-630

). Please note that we cannot 

support this driver anymore.

Depending on the model, the ME-630 provides 8 or 16 relays of 
type C. Excitation is done in operation mode „Single“. The relays 
are accessed as a subdevice of type ME_TYPE_DO, subtype ME_ 
SUBTYPE_SINGLE. Note the order of operation as described in the 
ME-iDS manual. The following parameters can be configured by the 
functions 

 and
