Safety Guidelines

Operate the NI 9403 only as described in these operating instructions.
Hot Surface This icon denotes that the component may be
hot. Touching this component may result in bodily injury.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations

The NI 9403 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 haza rdous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4, and Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the NI 9403 in a potentially explosive environment. Not following these guidelines may result in serious injury or death.
Caution Do not disconnect I/O-side wires or connectors
unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.

Caution Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2.
Caution For Zone 2 applications, install the system
in an enclosure rated to at least IP 54 as defined by IEC 60529 and EN 60529.
Caution For Zone 2 applications, connected signals must
be within the following limit:
Capacitance .......................... 0.02 μF max

Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in Europe

This equipment has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 equipment under DEMKO Certificate No. 07 ATEX 0626664X. Each module
is marked II 3G and is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous locations. If you are using the NI 9403 in Gas Group IIC hazardous locations or in ambient temperatures of –40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C, you must use the device in an NI chassis that has been evaluated as EEx nC IIC T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4 equipment.

Special Conditions for Marine Applications

Some modules are Lloyd’s Register (LR) Type Approved for marine applications. To verify Lloyd’s Register certification, visit
ni.com/certification and search for the LR certificate, or
look for the Lloyd’s Register mark on the module.
Caution To meet radio frequency emission requirements
for marine applications, use shielded cables and install the system in a metal enclosure. Suppression ferrites must be installed on power supply inputs near power entries to modules and controllers. Power supply and module cables must be separated on opposite sides of the enclosure and must enter and exit through opposing enclosure walls.

Each channel has a DIO pin to which you can connect a digital input or output device. The 32 DIO channels are internally referenced to COM, so you can use any of the four COM lines as a reference for the external signal.
Yo u can independently configure each DIO channel in software for input or output. The DIO channels have Schmitt trigger inputs and are compatible with 5 V TTL logic devices. Each input channel has hysteresis for improved performance with noisy and non-monotonic input signals. Each channel also has a pull-down resistor and includes overvoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about input thresholds and overvoltage protection. Refer to the
Overcurrent/Short-Circuit Protection section for more
information about overcurrent and short-circuit protection.

Overcurrent/Short-Circuit Protection

The overcurrent protection allows only a specified amount of current through the output channels to protect the NI 9403 from short circuits. If the NI 9403 goes into an overcurrent state, the module sets all the DIO channels to high impedance for approximately 280 milliseconds. When the channels are in this state, the NI 9403 can accept new line direction configuration and output state data but cannot pass valid input data to the software. After the protection period, the NI 9403 automatically recovers to the latest direction configuration and output state. If the overcurrent condition still exists, the module again sets the channels to high impedance. This cycle continues until the overcurrent condition is removed. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about the maximum output current.

Sleep Mode

This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep mode at the system level depends on the chassis that the module is plugged into. Refer to the chassis manual for information about support for sleep mode. If the chassis supports sleep mode, refer to the software help for information about enabling sleep mode. Visit

ni.com/info and enter cseriesdoc for information about
C Series documentation.
Typically, when a system is in sleep mode, you cannot communicate with the modules. In sleep mode, the system consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does in normal mode. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about power consumption and thermal dissipation.
