Hardware structure, connector and jumper specifications
1. PCB layout differentiation
PCI-743X: Only front 100Pin CN1 SCSI interface, no backplane J2
CPCI Standard Edition: Front CN1, side reserved cPCI J2 backplane pin (no rear IO)
CPCI-R Rear Series: CN1 is a rear adapter board output, and the chassis backplane J2 transmits IO signals, which must be used with a DB-100RU rear transition board
The document is accompanied by three board layout drawings, indicating the PCI controller and CN1/J2 positions.
2 100Pin SCSI-II connector pin rules
Universal Pin Definition Identification:
IDI-n: nth isolated digital input
IDO-n: nth isolated digital output
COMm: Each group has 8 DI common terminals (can be connected to 24V or GND, compatible with source/drain sensors)
VDDm: Each group has 8 channels of DO external power supply common positive pole
IGND: Output circuit return ground
V5V: Onboard 5V auxiliary power supply
List of independent pins by model: 7432, 7433 PCI-7434、cPCI-7434R/RP, Distinguish between the definitions of common ground and common power output wiring.
3 jumper configuration (PCI-7433 only)
There are a total of 8 sets of jumper wires on board J1-J8, each corresponding to 8 DI channels. Short circuiting enables transient voltage suppression protection, disconnecting and disabling the protection circuit. The physical location of the jumper wires and the simplified input circuit are marked on the drawing.

Isolation input with two connection methods: source type (COM connected to 24V) and drain type (COM connected to GND), with accompanying optocoupler and current limiting resistor circuit schematic diagram
Output two types of wiring:
Common ground R version: load negative terminal connected to IGND, VDD connected to external 24V positive terminal
Common Power RP Version: The positive pole of the load is uniformly connected to VDD, and the negative pole is connected to IGND, suitable for batch solenoid valve drive
Register low-level definition (aimed at low-level developers)
PCI configuration area: PCI-9050 bridge chip registers, BIOS automatically assigns base addresses and interrupts, manual modification is prohibited to avoid resource conflicts
The local IO register has a uniform 32-bit width and only supports 32-bit read and write operations. Accessing 8/16 bits will result in hardware errors
