1: Introduction
The PCI-AC51 adapter card brings industry-standard Pamux
®
to the world of Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI), a local bus standard developed by Intel
®
. The PCI-AC51 adapter card is an ideal
choice for customers who must replace an older ISA bus-based PC that currently uses an Opto 22
AC28 adapter card. The PCI-AC51 is compatible with computers that feature a 33 MHz PCI bus. The
PCI-AC51 requires a 5.0- and 3.3-volt environment.
NOTE: The PCI-AC51 itself is no faster than its ISA cousin, the AC28, but it is the better choice if you have no
available ISA slots or available I/O addresses. The PCI-AC28 is not recommended for new designs; use the
PCI-AC51 instead.
With the PCI-AC51 adapter card, your PCI computer can communicate with Opto 22 classic B4, B5,
and B6 brain boards and with SNAP-B4 and SNAP-B6 brains.
•
Each Pamux bus can access up to 32 remote brains.
•
Each Pamux bus supports up to 512 points.
Free with these adapter cards is the PCI-AC51 Pamux SDK, included on the CD that came with the
card and also available on our website,
www.opto22.com
. The PCI-AC51 Pamux SDK supports up to
32 PCI-AC51 adapter cards. This file includes two SDKs:
•
Windows 7 and Vista
operating systems—samples, source code, and the driver. This SDK
supports C#, VB.NET and other .NET languages. Existing applications can be updated to Win 7
using this SDK.
•
Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP
operating systems—sample applications, utility
applications, and the driver. This SDK supports Microsoft Visual Basic (version 6) and Microsoft
Visual C++ (version 6). Up to 64 AC5, PCI-AC5, and PCIe-AC5 devices are supported by the
driver.
