1 Introduction

Valued customer,

Thank you for purchasing this device from Meilhaus Electronic. You have

chosen an innovative high-technology product that left our premises in a

fully functional and new condition.

Please take the time to carefully examine the contents of the package for

any loss or damage that may have occurred during shipping. If there are

any items missing or if an item is damaged, please contact us immedi-

ately.

Before installing the board in your computer, we recommend you read this

manual carefully, especially the chapter describing board installation.

1.1 Important Notes

1.1.1 Use in Accordance with the Requirements

The PC boards of the ME-series are designed for acquisition and output of

digital signals using a PC. Depending on type, install the models of the

ME-series into:

a free PCI-Express slot (PCIe versions) or

a free PXI-Express slot (3 HE PXI express versions)

For information on how to install a plug-in board, read the manual of your

PC.

Please note the instructions and specifications as presented in this manual

(Appendix, from page 29 on):

Please ensure sufficient heat dissipation for the board within the PC

housing.

The opto-isolated inputs and outputs achieve an electrical isolation of

the application relative to PC ground.

Note that the computer must be powered up, prior connecting signals

by the external wiring of the board.

As a basic principle, all connections to the board should only be made

or removed in a powered-down state of all components.

Ensure that no static discharge occurs while handling the board or

while connecting/disconnecting the external cable.

Ensure that the connection cable is properly connected. It must be

seated firmly on the D-Sub connector and must be tightened with both

Manual ME-582x Series Revision 0.9

1 Introduction page 6 Meilhaus Electronic

screws, otherwise proper operation of the board cannot be guaran-

teed!

1.1.2 Improper Application

PC plug-in boards for the PCI-Express- or PXI-Express-bus may not be

taken into operation outside of the PC. Never connect the devices with

voltage-carrying parts, especially not with mains voltage.

Make sure that no contact with voltage-carrying parts can happen by the

external wiring of the device. As a basic principle, all connections should

only be made or removed in a powered-down state.

1.1.3 Unforeseeable Misapplications

The device is not suitable to be used as a children’s toy, in the household

or under unfavourable environmental conditions (e.g. in the open). Appro-

priate precautions to avoid any unforeseeable misapplication must be

taken by the user.

1.2 Package Contents

We take great care to ensure your delivery is complete. Nonetheless,

please check the list enclosed to verify the contents of your delivery. You

should find included:

Opto-isolated digital-I/O boards for the PCI-Express- or PXI-Express-

bus of type ME-5820 or ME-5821

Manual in PDF format on DVD (optionally available in printed form).

Driver software on DVD.

78-pin D-sub mating connector.

1.3 Features

The ME-5820 series PC boards are opto-isolated digital-I/O boards with

bit-pattern detection and counters for PCI-Express- and PXI-Express-sys-

tems. In this user manual “ME-582x” is used for all versions of the cards,

whereas “ME-5820” or “ME-5821” is used to describe special features of

these versions.

If required, certain subdevices can alternatively be configured for fre-

quency measurement or for pulse generation (see chapter 4 from page

20).

Alternative configuration can be selected with ME-iDC.

Opto-isolated digital-inputs: The ME-5820 has 16 opto-isolated in-

puts, ME-5821 has 32 opto-isolated inputs. The inputs run with a volt-

age high level of 5…60 V (specifications see page 29).

Opto-isolated digital outputs: ME-5820 has 16 opto-isolated out-

puts, ME-5821 has 32 opto-isolated outputs. The source-driver can

drive up to 370 mA per pin (all 16 outputs active). The detailed specifi-

cations of the sink and/or source drivers can be found on page 29. The

source drivers are short-circuit-proof and are equipped with a current

limiting per channel. If required, the output driver can send an interrupt

on overload to the PC.

A suitable external source is required to supply the output drivers.

Frequency measurement: With the concept of “configurable subde-

vices” the subdevice 0 and subdevice 5 (ME-5821 only) can also be

used as a frequency counter. Four (8) independent channels are avail-

able to measure the frequency and duty cycle of periodic rectangular

signals (max. 300 kHz)..

Pulse generator: With the concept of “configurable subdevices” the

subdevice 1 and subdevice 6 (ME-5821 only) can also be used as a

rectangular signal generator. Four (8) independent channels are avail-

able to output a periodic rectangular signal up to 3 kHz with selectable

duty cycle.

Sink/source selection: You can switch the output ports over from

sink to source drivers or high impedance by software for an optimal

adaption in industrial applications. “High impedance” means that the

voltage level at the output pin depends on your external application.

Bit-pattern detection: If required, the bit-pattern at the digital input

port can be monitored. Depending on the mode an interrupt can be

generated, if the bit-pattern changes or is equal/not equal to a given

bit-pattern.

The isolation voltage between the opto-isolated inputs/outputs and

PC-ground is 1 kVACRMS.

The opto-isolated digital inputs of the ME-582x are equipped with an

overvoltage protection diode that can discharge voltage pulses to

ground for a short period of time.

1 Introduction page 8 Meilhaus Electronic

Depending on your application you can select between these operating

modes:

Single: In this mode a single value can be read or written under soft-

ware control (see chapter 4.1.1 on page 22).

Interrupt: Used for interrupt processing in bit-pattern change and bit-

pattern compare mode (see chapter 4.3 on page 26).

Custom specific firmware versions are available on request.

1.4 System Requirements

The ME-582x may be installed into any PC (Intel® Pentium® processor)

with a free standard PCI-Express- or PXIExpress-slot. The board is sup-

ported by the Meilhaus Electronic Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS).

1.5 Software Support

The ME-series is supported by the Meilhaus Electronic Intelligent Driver

System (ME-iDS). The ME-iDS is a unique driver system covering different

devices and operating systems. It supports Windows 7, 8.1, 10 and con-

tains a universal function library (API) for all common programming lan-

guages.

A detailed description of the functions can be found in the ME-iDS manual

on the CD/DVD enclosed.

Please also note the corresponding README-files.

2 Initial Operation

Please read your computer’s instruction manual on how to install new

hardware components before installing the board.

2.1 Software Installation

Installation under Windows

The following basic procedure should be used:

If you have received the driver software as an archive file, please unpack

the software before installing the board. First choose a directory on your

computer (e.g. C:\Temp\Meilhaus\ME-iDS).

Use the Meilhaus Electronic Intelligent Driver System (ME-iDS) for pro-

gramming your new data acquisition hardware. For installation and opera-

tion of the driver system, please follow the documentation in electronic

form included with the software package.

2.2 Test Program

For simple testing of the board use the corresponding test program pro-

vided with the ME-iDS.

ME-PowerLab3. Run the program from the Windows Start menu. This will

allow you to text all the important functions of the hardware.

You will find simple test programs in the SDK of the ME-iDS, in the

“Test Executables32” or “Test Executables64” subfolders.
