Ethernet Ports

The IC-317x provides one standard Gigabit Ethernet network port and four Gigabit Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE). The Ethernet ports provide a connection between the IC-317x, a network, and other Ethernet devices. The IC-317x automatically detects the speed of the connection and configures itself accordingly.

If a PoE-capable device is plugged into an Ethernet port with PoE, the IC-317x automatically supplies power to the device. When the IC-317x supplies PoE, the LED that corresponds to the port illuminates. When you unplug a PoE device, PoE is automatically disabled. You can use non-PoE Ethernet devices with PoE-enabled Gigabit Ethernet ports.

A CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cable is required to achieve 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit) Ethernet performance. CAT 5 Ethernet cables are not guaranteed to meet the necessary requirements. While CAT 5 cables may appear to work at 1,000 Mbps, CAT 5 cables can cause bit errors, resulting in degraded or unreliable network performance.

(Windows only) The network Ethernet port provides Wake-on-LAN functionality from the power off state when associated with the Intel® driver. Wake-on-LAN must be enabled in the Power Management tab of the Intel I210 Gigabit Network Connection Properties dialog for the primary Ethernet port in Device Manager. The NI GigE Vision driver (NI-GEV) does not support Wake-on-LAN. The Ethernet ports with PoE do not support Wake-on-LAN.

Wiring an Isolated Input

You can wire an isolated input to a sourcing output device.

Caution Do not allow the voltage on the isolated inputs to exceed 30 VDC. Doing

so will damage the IC-317x.

Wiring an Isolated Output

The digital isolated output circuits source current to external loads.

When an inductive load, such as a relay or solenoid, is connected to an output, a large counterelectromotive force may occur at switching time due to energy stored in the inductive load. This flyback voltage can damage the outputs and the power supply.

To limit flyback voltages at the inductive load, install a flyback diode across the load. Mount the flyback diode as close to the load as possible. Use this protection method if you connect any of the isolated outputs on the IC-317x to an inductive load.

The following image shows an example of an isolated output wired to an external load with a flyback diode installed across the load.

Connecting to Differential I/O

The IC-317x accepts differential (RS-422) line driver inputs. Each of the two differential I/O can be configured as an output. Use shielded cables for all applications. Unshielded cables are more susceptible to noise and can corrupt signals.
