Introduction
The APCI-IB40 is a 32-bit PCI Local Bus I/O board which provides 40 digital I/O lines and three
timer/counters. Each I/O line can be configured as either an input or an output. The board also has
the facility to define the power-up/reset state of those lines to be used as outputs. The I/O
connector conforms to Arcoms standard signal conditioning system (SCS) and may be used to drive
a range of Signal Conditioning Boards (SCB), contact Arcom for more details.

Getting Started
Power down your PC system.
Install the board in a spare PCI Slot (See Installation for CE compliance).
Power up system with MSDOS.
Run APCI.EXE (supplied on the utility disk), this will search for the board and check I/O access. If
this fails, check board is correctly located.
