C.8 Digital I/O Registers - BASE + 03/0BH

The PCI-1718HDU/HGU provides 16 digital input channels and 16 digi- tal output channels. You read digital input data from registers BASE+03H and BASE+0BH. After the read operation the input lines go to three-state (data is not latched).

You write digital output data to registers BASE+03H and BASE+0BH. The registers latch the output value (you cannot read it back).

Using the PCL-818HD/HD/L's input and output functions is fairly straightforward. Chapter 3 gives some ideas for digital signal connec- tions.
