How to Use This Guide

This manual is for helping users to manipulate the PCI-7256. It is divided into
5 chapters.

•

Chapter 1, Introduction

, gives an overview of the product features,

applications, and specifications.

•

Chapter 2, Installation

, describes how to install the PCI-7256. The

layout of PCI-7256 is shown, and jumper setting for
digital input filter, external LED connection and Board ID
switch are specified. The connectors’ pin assignments
are also described.

•

Chapter3, Register Format

, describes the details of register format

and structure of the PCI-7256. This information is very
important for the programmers who want to control the
hardware by low level programming.

•

Chapter 4, Operation Theorem

, describes how to operate the PCI-

7256. The latching relay, isolated digital input and
change-of-state functions are introduced. Some
programming concepts are also described.

•

Chapter 5, C/C++ libraries

, describes the software utility and the

library of PCI-7256, and also describes how to meet your
requirements and help you to program your own
software application.

•

Appendix A, relay Contact Protection Circuits,

provides the

information about relay contact protection circuits.
