Compliance

FCC/Canada Radio Frequency Interference Compliance*

Determining FCC Class

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect wireless communications from interference. The FCC places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for use in industrial-commercial locations only) or Class B (for use in residential or commercial locations). Depending on where it is operated, this product could be subject to restrictions in the FCC rules. (In Canada, the Department of Communications (DOC), of Industry Canada, regulates wireless interference in much the same way.)

Digital electronics emit weak signals during normal operation that can affect radio, television, or other wireless products. By examining the product you purchased, you can determine the FCC Class and therefore which of the two FCC/DOC Warnings apply in the following sections. (Some products may not be labeled at all for FCC; if so, the reader should then assume these are Class A devices.)

FCC Class A products only display a simple warning statement of one paragraph in length regarding interference and undesired operation. Most of our products are FCC Class A. The FCC rules have restrictions regarding the locations where FCC Class A products can be operated.

FCC Class B products display either a FCC ID code, starting with the letters EXN, or the FCC Class B compliance mark that appears as shown here on the right.

Consult the FCC web site

http://www.fcc.gov

Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features

PXI-1006 Backplane Overview

Interoperability with CompactPCI

The PXI-1006 backplane is interoperable with PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI products. This is an important feature, as many PXI-compatible systems may require components that do not implement PXI-specific features. For example, you may want to use a standard CompactPCI network interface card in a PXI chassis.

The signals on the P1 connector of the backplane meet the requirements of the CompactPCI specification for both the peripheral and system modules.

The PXI-specific signals are located on P2 and are found on only the signals that are reserved or not used in the CompactPCI 64-bit specification. Therefore, all modules that meet the requirements of the CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the PXI-1006.

The PXI-1006 has three PCI bus segments linked via two 64-bit PCI-to-PCI bridges. The PCI bus segment divisions are represented on the front of the chassis by vertical bars. See Figure 2-1 for the PCI segment divider locations.

Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show some of the key features and components of the PXI-1006 chassis. Figure 2-1 shows the front view of the PXI-1006. Figure 2-2 shows the rear view.

System Controller Slot

The System Controller slot is Slot 1 of the chassis as defined by the PXI specification. It has three controller expansion slots, which are used for system controller modules that are wider than one slot. As defined in the PXI specification, these slots allow the controller to expand to the left to prevent the controller from using up peripheral slots.

Star Trigger Slot

The Star Trigger (ST) slot is Slot 2. This slot has a dedicated trigger line between itself and slots 3-15. Slots 16-18 do not use the Star Trigger functionality because there are 13 Star Trigger lines, as specified in the PXI specification (see Figure 2-3). This slot is intended for modules with ST functionality that can provide individual triggers to the peripherals installed in slots 3-15. However, if you do not require advanced trigger functionality, you can install any standard peripheral module into this slot.

Peripheral Slots

There are 17 peripheral slots including the Star Trigger controller slot.

Local Bus

The PXI backplane’s local bus is a daisy-chained bus that connects each peripheral slot with its adjacent peripheral slots to the left and right, as shown in Figure 2-3.

For example, a given peripheral slot’s right local bus connects to the adjacent slot’s left local bus, and so on. Each local bus is 13 lines wide and can pass analog signals between cards or provide a high-speed side-band communication path that does not affect the PXI bandwidth.

The PXI-1006 has local bus connections between all slots except slots 1 and 2, in accordance with the PXI specification. See Figure 2-3 for details.

Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features

Trigger Bus

The PXI-1006 has three PXI segments. Vertical bars represent the segment divisions on the front of the chassis. (See Figure 2-1 for the segment divider locations.) The PXI trigger bus is divided into three separate trigger buses at these locations. You can use the trigger lines in a variety of ways. For example, you can use triggers to synchronize the operation of several different PXI peripheral modules. In other applications, one module can control carefully timed sequences of operations performed on other modules in the system. Modules can pass triggers to one another, allowing precisely timed responses to asynchronous external events the system is monitoring or controlling.

System Reference Clock

The PXI-1006 supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal (PXI_CLK10) independently to every peripheral slot. An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral slot. You can use this common reference clock signal to synchronize multiple modules in a measurement or control system. You can drive PXI_CLK10 from an external source through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the P2 connector of the star trigger slot. (See Table B-1, P1 (J1) Connector Pinout for the System

Controller Slot.) Sourcing an external clock on this pin automatically

disables the backplane’s 10 MHz source.

Rack Mounting

Rack-mount applications require the optional rack-mount kit available from National Instruments. Refer to the instructions supplied with the rack-mount kit to install your PXI-1006 in a standard 19 in. instrument rack.

PXI-1006 User Manual 2-6 ni.com

Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features

Remote Power Monitoring and Inhibiting Interface

The PXI-1006 chassis supports remote power monitoring and inhibiting via a 9-pin D-sub connector located on the rear panel. Table 2-1 shows the pinout of the DB-9 connector.

Using the Inhibiting Feature

You can use the Inhibit signal (active low) to turn off the power supply outputs. To use this feature, connect the Inhibit pin (pin 5) to a Logic Ground pin (pin 1 or 9). Make sure the front (standby) switch is in the ON position. As long as the connection is made, the power supply inhibits its DC outputs. DC output resumes when Inhibit is no longer connected. Note that the power (standby) switch, located on the front of the chassis, uses this inhibiting feature. For remote reset, connect a momentary switch between pin5andpin1(orpin9).

Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features

Using the Power Monitoring Feature

You can use a digital voltmeter to ensure all voltage levels in your PXI-1006 are within the allowable limits.

Caution

When connecting digital voltmeter probes to the rear D-sub connector, be careful

not to short the probe leads together. Doing so could damage the power supply.

Referring to Table 2-2, connect one lead of the voltmeter to a supply pin on the remote power monitoring connector (9-pin D-sub) on the rear panel. Refer to Table 2-1 for a pinout diagram of the remote power monitoring connector. Connect the reference lead of the voltmeter to one of the ground pins. Compare each voltage reading to the values listed in Table 2-2.

Note

Use the rear-panel D-sub connector to check voltages only. Do not use the connector

to supply power to external devices.

Table 2-2. Power Supply Voltages at Power Monitoring Connector (DB-9)

Pin Supply Acceptable Voltage Range

2 +5 V 4.75 to 5.25 V

Resetting the AC Mains Circuit Breaker

If your PXI-1006 is connected to an AC source and encounters an over-current condition, the circuit breaker located on the rear panel will trip to prevent damage to the chassis. Complete the following steps to reset the circuit breaker:

1. Turn the power switch to the Standby position.

2. Disconnect the AC line cord.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting

3. Depress the circuit breaker to reset it.

4. Reconnect the AC line cord.

5. Turn the power switch to the On position.

If the circuit breaker trips again, complete the following steps:

1. Turn the front panel power switch to the Standby position.

2. Disconnect the chassis from the AC mains power source.

3. Remove all modules from the chassis.

4. Complete the test procedure described in the Using the Power

Monitoring Feature section in Chapter 2, PXI-1006 Features.

5. If any voltages are outside the acceptable limits, contact National Instruments.

6. If all voltages are within the acceptable limits, verify that your PXI-1006 can meet the power requirements of your CompactPCI or PXI modules. Overloading the chassis can cause the breaker to trip. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications.

7. The over-current condition that caused the circuit breaker to trip may be due to a faulty CompactPCI or PXI module. Refer to the documentation supplied with the modules for troubleshooting your modules.
