I/O Addresses

[KARD]

I need to find out what the I/O address ranges would be in my Windows XP computer for DF20-DF3F. I am not sure how to find this out. I have tried
DF20 and also DF3F and those do not work. I am trying to register my aux Contec I/O card and like I said the numbers that windows says are not working when I open up the CNC screen.

I've also had trouble getting the contec card to register. Start over. Uninstall from device manager, remove card from computer. Follow directions below again

Installing the PIO 16/16T(PCI) and PIO 16/16L(PCI) Boards on Windows XP and Vista

To use the PIO 16/16T(PCI) or PIO 16/16L(PCI) board with Windows XP and Vista, the OS needs to recognize the I/O address and interrupt level the board will be using. To achieve this, follow the steps below in the order they are presented:

1. Install the CamSoft Product Software.

2. Set the board ID of the board you will be using. To use only one PCI bus board, set it to the default setting (0).

3. Be sure to verify that the PC is turned off and install the PCI bus board into the expansion slot of the PC.

4. Turn on the PC, start Windows XP or Vista and log on as Administrator.

5. When the “Found New Hardware Found Wizard” screen appears, select the “No, not this time” button and click Next.

6. The hardware wizard will search for drivers and find “CONTEC Co., Ltd-PIO-16/16T(PCI)”. At the “What do you want the wizard to do” prompt, select the “Install the software automatically” button. Click Next to continue.

7. A screen appears indicating that the driver has not passed Windows Logo Testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP or Vista. Click on the “Continue Anyway” button.

8. At the “Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard” screen, click on Finish to close the wizard.

9. For CNC Professional, change into the ..\AS3000\CNC directory. For CNC Lite,/CNC Plus and Graphical OI, change into the ..\GALILOI directory. Launch the CONFIGIO.EXE program. Click on PCI Board to expand the board selections. Select Board 1. Click on the Properties button. For board name use the drop down list box and scroll and select your board. Set the Board ID to 0, which is factory default. If you are installing two boards, you must physically set the board ID on the board itself and then select Board 2 and enter in the Board ID that you physically set for your second board. Click on the OK button to exit. This step may not be necessary if you only have one board since the ID is 0 by default.

10. Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.

11. For CNC Professional, launch the CNCSETUP.EXE program. For CNC Lite/CNC Plus and Graphical OI, launch the SETUP.EXE program. Click on I/O Settings. For AUXCARDTYPE enter in your card type. Use the GETRES.EXE program to obtain the IO address of the card and set that number in AUX ADDR 1. Save your settings. (The GETRES.EXE program is located in the ..\AS3000\CNC directory for CNC Professional and in the ..\GALILOI directory for CNC Lite/CNC Plus and Graphical OI.) You can also use the Windows XP or Vista device manager to obtain the IO address of the card and set that number in AUX ADDR 1. Save your settings.
