Particularly simple is the connection to the
digital I/O interfaces PCI-PIO, PCI-Base II,
PCIe-Base, LAN-AD16fx as only a 37-pole D-
Sub extension cable is needed for connecting.

1 Connections and pin assignment
The available connections and
components of the USB-OI16
are shown in the following figure
of the board (view on top of the
board - fitted with components).
Figure 1
Connection to the application hardware

The digital lines of application-specific hardware are attached to
the 37-pole D-Sub female (see Figure 1, p. 2) of the OI16.
Up to 16 digital inputs are provided for digital sensors or other
digital signal sources at the connections IN1..IN16.
To control machines, switch a relay, etc., the 16 digital outputs
OUT1..OUT16 can be used.
.
The necessary power supply DCin for the outputs OUT1..OUT2 is

connected at the PINs 9 + 28 with the matching earth PINs 10 +
29.
If NO external power supply is connected to the DCin, 5V are
provided by the outputs of the measurement system.

Connection to the DAQ and control system
The DAQ and control system is connected at the 37-pole D-
Sub male P2 "IN/OUT Data" (see Figure 1, p. 2) on the OI16
board.
The controling of the output, respectively the input information
of each line are put/read as TTL/CMOS.
• Please carefully observe the polarity! Only apply voltages

within the adjusted range!
• It is very important to set the port direction of the connected
DAQ system correctly! Otherwise the outputs of the OI16
might drive against the outputs of the DAQ system.
• IOGND must never be connected to GND, as this would override the galvanic isolation!
2 Usage and application
2.1 Connection of the DAQ system to OI16

The assignment of the plugs P2 perfectly match the digital connections
of the bmcm DAQ systems:
PCI-BASEII
PCI-PIO
PCIe-BASE
LAN-AD16fx
The DAQ systems provide the necessary
power supply for the OI16 card.

2.2 Building the OI16 into a PC
The OI16 card can be fitted with a slot frame
and therefore can be placed right next to the
internal card. We recommend to connect the
measurement cards via the optionally available
cabel ZUKA16.

3 Important notes for using the OI16

• The OI16 is only suitable for extra-low voltages – please observe the relevant regulations!
• An electrically isolated power unit (with CE) must be used for power supply.
• All accessible pins are electrostatic sensitive devices. Provide for an earthed conductive work place when
installing.
• Only use non-solvent detergents for cleaning. The product is designed to be maintenance-free.
• The board must not be used for safety-relevant tasks. With the use of the product, the customer becomes
manufacturer by law and is therefore fully responsible for the proper installation and use of the product. In the
case of improper use and/or unauthorized interference, our warranty ceases and any warranty claim is
excluded..
Do not dispose of the product in the domestic waste or at any waste collection places. It has to be either duly
disposed according to the WEEE directive or can be returned to bmcm at your own expense.
