Connecting the sbRIO Device to a Network

Use a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better Ethernet cable to connect the RJ-45 Ethernet port to an Ethernet network.

Caution To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation,

do not use a cable longer than 100 m.

If you need to build your own cable, refer to the Cabling section for more information about Ethernet cable wiring connections.

The host computer communicates with the device over a standard Ethernet connection. If the host computer is on a network, you must configure the device on the same subnet as the host computer. If neither the host computer nor the device is connected to a network, you can connect the two directly using a crossover cable.

If you want to use the device on a subnet other than the one the host computer is on, first connect the device on the same subnet as the host computer. Use DHCP to assign an IP address or reassign a static IP address for the subnet where you want it to be and physically move it to the other subnet. Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for more information about configuring the device in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).

Powering the sbRIO Device

The sbRIO device requires a power supply connected to J3. The supply voltage and current must meet the specifications in the Power

Requirements section of this document, but the actual power requirement

depends on how the device is physically configured, programmed, and used. To determine the power requirement of your application, you must measure the power consumption during execution, and add 20% to your estimates to account for transient and startup conditions.

Note Select a high-quality power supply with less than 20 mV ripple. The sbRIO device

has some internal power-supply filtering on the positive side, but a low-quality power supply can inject noise into the ground path, which is unfiltered.

Four elements of the sbRIO device can require power: sbRIO internal operation; 3.3 V DIO; 5 V output; and board-only C Series modules installed on the device. Refer to the Power Requirements section for formulas and examples for calculating power requirements for different configurations and application types.

Complete the following steps to connect a power supply to the device.

1. Remove the MINI-COMBICON plug from connector J3 of the sbRIO-960x. Refer to Figure 4 for the location of J3.

2. Connect the positive lead of the power supply to the V terminal of the MINI-COMBICON plug.

3. Connect the negative lead of the power supply to the C terminal of the MINI-COMBICON plug.

4. Re-install the MINI-COMBICON connector in connector J3.

Powering On the sbRIO Device

When you apply power to the sbRIO-960x, the device runs a power-on self test (POST). During the POST, the Power and Status LEDs turn on. The Status LED turns off, indicating that the POST is complete. If the LEDs do not behave in this way when the system powers on, refer to the

Understanding LED Indications section.

You can configure the device to launch an embedded stand-alone LabVIEW RT application each time it is booted. Refer to the Running a

Stand-Alone Real-Time Application (RT Module) topic of the LabVIEW Help for more information.

Boot Options

Table 3 lists the reset options available on sbRIO devices. These options determine how the FPGA behaves when the device is reset in various conditions.

LabVIEW.

2. Select Properties.

3. In the General category of the FPGA Target Properties dialog box, place a check in the Run when loaded to FPGA checkbox.

4. Compile the FPGA VI.

Connecting Serial Devices to the sbRIO Device

The sbRIO-960x has an RS-232 serial port to which you can connect devices such as displays or input devices. Use the Serial VIs to read from and write to the serial port from a LabVIEW RT application. For more information about using the Serial VIs, refer to the Serial VIs and Functions topic of the LabVIEW Help.

Using the Internal Real-Time Clock

The system clock of the sbRIO device gets the date and time from the internal real-time clock at startup. This synchronization provides timestamp data to the device.

All of the DIP switches are in the OFF (up) position when the sbRIO device is shipped from National Instruments.

The position of the SAFE MODE switch determines whether the embedded LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches at startup. If the switch is in the OFF position, the LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches. Keep this switch in the OFF position during normal operation. If the switch is in the ON position at startup, the sbRIO device launches only the essential services required for updating its configuration and installing software. The LabVIEW Real-Time engine does not launch.

Push the SAFE MODE switch to the ON position if the software on the sbRIO device is corrupted. Even if the switch is not in the ON position, if there is no software installed on the device, the device automatically boots into safe mode. The SAFE MODE switch must be in the ON position to reformat the drive on the device. Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for more about installing software and reformatting the drive.

CONSOLE OUT Switch

With a serial-port terminal program, you can use the serial port to read the IP address and firmware version of the sbRIO device. Use a null-modem cable to connect the serial port on the device to a computer. Push the CONSOLE OUT switch to the ON position. Make sure that the serial-port terminal program is configured to the following settings:

• 9,600 bits per second

• Eight data bits

Integrated 3.3 V Digital I/O

The four 40-pin IDC headers, P2–P5, provide connections for 110 low-voltage DIO channels, 82 DGND, and eight +5 V voltage outputs. The following figure represents a single DIO channel.

Figure 12. Circuitry of One 3.3 V DIO Channel

I/O Protection

The 33 Ω current-limiting posistor, R1, and the protection diodes, D1 and D2, protect each DIO channel against externally applied voltages of ±20 V and ESD events. The combination of R1 and D1 protects against overvoltage, and the combination of R1 and D2 protects against undervoltage. The resistance of R1 increases rapidly with temperature.

Drive Strength

Signal Integrity

During overvoltage conditions, high current flows through R1 and into the protection diodes. High current causes internal heating in the posistor, which increases the resistance and limits the current. Refer to the

Specifications section for current-limiting and resistance values.

The sbRIO devices were tested with all 110 DIO channels driving 3 mA DC loads, for a total of 330 mA sourcing from the FPGA. The FPGA uses minimum 8 mA drivers, but the devices are not characterized for loads higher than 3 mA.

The sbRIO boards were designed with 60 Ω characteristic trace impedance. The characteristic impedance of most IDC ribbon cables is 110 Ω, which is grossly mismatched from the board. However, headers P2–P5 were designed such that the signals are interwoven with ground (signal/ground/signal/ground, etc.), which greatly improves the signal integrity. This is sufficient for most applications

For the best possible signal integrity, use 3M has a characteristic impedance of 65 Ω. This cable has a ground plane that connects to the ground plane of the board at pin 1 and pin 50. The internal ground plane of this cable also reduces noise and radiated emissions.

Using +5 V Power from 3.3 V DIO Headers P2–P5

Each of the four DIO headers has two pins to provide +5 V power for external applications. This +5 V outputs are referenced to DGND on the headers and are connected directly to the internal 5 V power plane of the sbRIO device. The +5 V source has current limiting and overvoltage clamps. Nevertheless, sudden current steps and noisy loads can inject high-frequency transients into the power planes of the device. Such transients can cause intermittent failures in the digital timing and lead to unexpected behavior. Add filters and/or additional current limiting between the external load and the +5 V output if the external load is not a quiet, slowly ramping DC load. An LC filter of 6.8 μH and 100 μF per 200 mA load should be sufficient, but the OEM user is responsible for final requirements and testing.

The sbRIO power supply is designed for a total of 2 A external load at 5 V. This total includes 200 mA per installed C Series module. For example, if three C Series modules are installed, only 2 A – (3 × 0.2) = 1.4 A is available for use on headers P2–P5. Each pin on the headers is rated for 2 A, but a typical 28 AWG ribbon cable is rated for only 225 mA per conductor.

Example power requirement calculations

For an sbRIO-9602 with three installed board-only C Series modules, 20 mA total current through 3.3 V DIO pins, and 1 A of current through 5 V output, calculate the total power requirement as follows:

= 6.0 W

int

= 3.30 W

CSer

= 0.08 W

DIO

= 5.55 W

Adding 20% for transient conditions, 14.93 W × 1.2 = 17.92 W

Total power requirement = 17.92 W

For an sbRIO-9601 with one installed board-only C Series module, 330 mA total current through 3.3 V DIO pins, and no 5 V output used, calculate the total power requirement as follows:

= 6.0 W

int

= 1.10 W

CSer

= 1.28 W

DIO

= 0.00 W

Adding 20% for transient conditions, 8.38 W × 1.2 = 10.06 W

Total power requirement = 10.06 W
