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 immediately.

Before installing the board in your computer, we recommend you

read this manual carefully, especially the chapter describing board

installation.

The descriptions in this manual concern PCI-, PCI-Express- and

CompactPCI-versions of the ME-9000 series, if not otherwise

noted.

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 analog and digital signals with a PC. Depending on type

install the models of the ME-series into:

a free PCI slot or

a free PCI Express slot or

a free CompactPCI slot.

The boards of the ME-90 PC/104-Plus series are serial interface

boards (RS-232 or RS-422/485) in the PC/104 format to be

integrated in a PC/104-Plus stack.

For information on how to install a plug-in board or connect a USB

device, please read the manual of your PC.

Please note the instructions and specifications as presented in

this manual (Appendix A, Specifications):

Please ensure sufficient heat dissipation for the board within

the PC housing.

All unused inputs should be connected to the ground reference

of the appropriate functional section. This avoids cross talk

between the input lines.

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 to

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 screws, otherwise proper operation of the

board cannot be guaranteed.

1.1.2 Improper Application

PC plug-in boards for the PCI-, PCI-Express- or CompactPCI-bus

may not be taken into operation outside of the PC. PC/104-Plus

boards may not be taken into operation outside of an embedded

system. Never connect the devices with voltage-carrying parts,

especially not with mains voltage. As power supply of the USB

models only an authorized power adapter may be used.

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). Appropriate 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:

RS-232 resp. RS-422/485 interface board (depending on

version ordered):

oME-90 PC/104-Plus or

oME-9000 cPCI, PCI or PCIe or

oME-9100 cPCI or PCI or

oME-9300 PCI

Manual in PDF format on CD/DVD.

Driver software on CD/DVD.

ME-9000/9100: dual-, quad- or octopus-connection

cable from 78-pin D-Sub male connector to 2, 4 resp. 8

x 9-pin D-Sub male connector, 1 m

ME-9000 PCI/PCIe/cPCI: Additional mounting bracket for

DIO port with flat ribbon cable to 25-pin D-Sub female

connector for PCI-/PCIe- (ME-AK-D25F/S) resp.

CompactPCI-slot.

ME-90 PC/104-Plus: Flat ribbon cable for DIO port to

25-pin D-Sub female connector (ME-AK-D25F)

ME-90 PC/104-Plus: 2 x flat ribbon cable with each 4 x

9-pin D-Sub male connector (2 x ME-AK-4D9M).

More connectivity option see page 47.

* The PCI-Express models, the ME-9000 PCI models (from Rev. 1.4 up)

and the ME-9000 CompactPCI models (from Rev. 1.2 up) are

provided with optional opto-isolation from PC ground („i“-models)

resp. with electrical insulation between the single ports („p“-models).

Note: Further versions on request ([email protected]).

The ME-9000 series is a high integrated serial interface board

designed for PCI-, PCI-Express- resp. CompactPCI-bus. It provides

a PCI controller with integrated Octo-UART of type EXAR

XR17D158IV for extended temperature range. The UARTs are

byte transmit and receive FIFO for each port. The board allows

transfer rates up to 921,6 kBd. There are versions available with

up to 8 ports for RS-232 and/or RS-422/485 standard. The ME-

9000 PCI- and cPCI-versions adapt themselves automatically to

the level at the PCI bus of +3.3 V or +5 V (Universal PCI).

As a special the ME-9000 offers an 8-bit multi-I/O port for

customer-specific extensions. See also chapter 4.1 "ME-9000

Multi-I/O Driver" from page 61 on.

The ME-9000i models provide opto-isolation of all serial ports from

PC ground. I.e. as seen from the application all ports refer to a

common, isolated ground (GND_C). The isolation voltage is 500 V.

ME-9000p models: each serial port is an electrically isolated

„island“ with separate ground (GND_x). It is ideal for noise-

sensitive environments in industrial control. The isolation voltage is

500 V.
