Introduction
The PEX-D96S and PIO-D96U/D96SU cards are the new generation product that ICP DAS provides to
meet RoHS compliance requirement, and is designed as an easy replacement for the PIO-D96,
without requiring any modification to the software or the driver.
The PIO-D96U/D96SU universal PCI card supports 3.3 V/5 V PCI bus while the PEX-D96S supports
PCI Express bus.
These cards provide 96 TTL Digital I/O lines that consist of twelve 8-bit
bi-directional ports. Each group of three 8-bit ports is arranged on the connector as Port A (PA), Port
B (PB) and Port C (PC), respectively, and all ports are configured as inputs ports on power-up or
after a reset.
The PIO-D96U provides four connectors for I/O wiring, while the PIO-D96SU and PEX-D96S provides
a single high-density connector that reduces the amount of installation space required for the card
in the computer.
The PIO-D96U/D96SU and PEX-D96S cards include an onboard Card ID switch that enables the
board to be recognized via software if two or more boards are installed in the same computer. The
pull-high/low jumpers allow the DI status to be predefined instead of remaining floating if the DI
channels are disconnected or interrupted.
These cards support various OS such as Linux, DOS, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000,
32-/64-bit Windows XP/2003/2008/Vista/7 and Windows 8. It also provides the DLL and Active X
control, and various language sample programs in Turbo C++, Borland c++, Microsoft C++, Visual
C++, Borland Delphi, Borland C++ Builder, Visual Basic, C#.NET, Visual Basic.NET and LabVIEW to
help users to quickly and easily develop their applications.
