= Opto22 PCI
PCI AC5 ADAPTER CARD / HAL DRIVER This page is considered current as
of November 2008.
== The Adapter Card
This is a card made by Opto22 for adapting the PCI port to solid state
relay racks such as their standard or G4 series. It has 2 ports that
can control up to 24 points each and has 4 on board LEDs. The ports use
50 pin connectors the same as Mesa boards. Any relay racks/breakout
boards thats work with Mesa Cards should work with this card with the
understanding any encoder counters, PWM, etc., would have to be done in
software. The AC5 does not have any 'smart' logic on board, it is just
an adapter.
See the manufacturer's website for more info:
http://www.opto22.com
I would like to thank Opto22 for releasing info in their manual,
easing the writing of this driver!
== The Driver
This driver is for the PCI AC5 card and will not work with the ISA AC5
card. The HAL driver is a realtime module. It will support 4 cards as
is (more cards are possible with a change in the source code). Load the
basic driver like so:
loadrt opto_ac5
This will load the driver which will search for max 4 boards. It will
set I/O of each board's 2 ports to a default setting. The default
configuration is for 12 inputs then 12 outputs. The pin name numbers
correspond to the position on the relay rack. For example the pin names
for the default I/O setting of port 0 would be:
opto_ac5.0.port0.in-00 They would be numbered from 00 to 11
opto_ac5.0.port0.out-12 They would be numbered 12 to 23 port 1 would
be the same.
== PINS
opto_ac5.[BOARDNUMBER].port[PORTNUMBER].in-[PINNUMBER] OUT bit
opto_ac5.[BOARDNUMBER].port[PORTNUMBER].in-[PINNUMBER]-not OUT bit
Connect a HAL bit signal to this pin to read an I/O point from the
card. The PINNUMBER represents the position in the relay rack. Eg.
PINNUMBER 0 is position 0 in a Opto22 relay rack and would be pin 47 on
the 50 pin header connector. The -not pin is inverted so that LOW gives
TRUE and HIGH gives FALSE.
opto_ac5.[BOARDNUMBER].port[PORTNUMBER].out-[PINNUMBER] IN bit
Connect a HAL bit signal to this pin to write to an I/O point of the
card. The PINNUMBER represents the position in the relay rack.Eg.
PINNUMBER 23 is position 23 in a Opto22 relay rack and would be pin 1
on the 50 pin header connector.
opto_ac5.[BOARDNUMBER].led[NUMBER] OUT bit
Turns one of the 4 onboard LEDs on/off. LEDs are numbered 0 to 3.
BOARDNUMBER can be 0-3 PORTNUMBER can be 0 or 1. Port 0 is closest to
the card bracket.
== PARAMETERS
opto_ac5.[BOARDNUMBER].port[PORTNUMBER].out-[PINNUMBER]-invert W bit
When TRUE, invert the meaning of the corresponding -out pin so that
TRUE gives LOW and FALSE gives HIGH.
== FUNCTIONS
opto_ac5.0.digital-read Add this to a thread to read all the input
points.
opto_ac5.0.digital-write Add this to a thread to write all the output
points and LEDs.
For example the pin names for the default I/O setting of port 0 would
be:
opto_ac5.0.port0.in-00
They would be numbered from 00 to 11
opto_ac5.0.port0.out-12
They would be numbered 12 to 23 port 1 would be the same.
== Configuring I/O Ports
To change the default setting load the driver something like so:
loadrt opto_ac5 portconfig0=0xffff portconfig1=0xff0000
Of course changing the numbers to match the I/O you would like. Each
port can be set up different.
Here's how to figure out the number: The configuration number
represents a 32 bit long code to tell the card which I/O points are
output vrs input. The lower 24 bits are the I/O points of one port. The
2 highest bits are for 2 of the on board LEDs. A one in any bit
position makes the I/O point an output. The two highest bits must be
output for the LEDs to work. The driver will automatically set the two
highest bits for you, we won't talk about them.
The easiest way to do this is to fire up the calculator under
APPLICATIONS/ACCESSORIES. Set it to scientific (click view). Set it
BINARY (radio button Bin). Press 1 for every output you want and/or
zero for every input. Remember that HAL pin 00 corresponds to the
rightmost bit. 24 numbers represent the 24 I/O points of one port. So
for the default setting (12 inputs then 12 outputs) you would push 1
twelve times (thats the outputs) then 0 twelve times (thats the
inputs). Notice the first I/O point is the lowest (rightmost) bit.
(that bit corresponds to HAL pin 00 .looks backwards) You should have
24 digits on the screen. Now push the Hex radio button. The displayed
number (fff000) is the configport number ( put a '0x' in front of it
designating it as a HEX number).
Another example: To set the port for 8 outputs and 16 inputs (the
same as a Mesa card). Here is the 24 bits represented in a BINARY
number. Bit 1 is the rightmost number.
000000000000000011111111
16 zeros for the 16 inputs and 8 ones for the 8 outputs
Which converts to FF on the calculator so 0xff is the number to use
for portconfig0 and/or portconfig1 when loading the driver.
== Pin Numbering
HAL pin 00 corresponds to bit 1 (the rightmost) which represents
position 0 on an Opto22 relay rack. HAL pin 01 corresponds to bit 2
(one spot to the left of the rightmost) which represents position 1 on
an Opto22 relay rack. HAL pin 23 corresponds to bit 24 (the
leftmost) which represents position 23 on an Opto22 relay rack.
HAL pin 00 connects to pin 47 on the 50 pin connector of each port.
HAL pin 01 connects to pin 45 on the 50 pin connector of each port.
HAL pin 23 connects to pin 1 on the 50 pin connector of each port.
Note that Opto22 and Mesa use opposite numbering systems: Opto22
position 23 = connector pin 1, and the position goes down as the
connector pin number goes up. Mesa Hostmot2 position 1 = connector pin
1, and the position number goes up as the connector pin number goes up.
