Understanding Ground Connections

All of the grounds (D GND, AI GND, AO GND, ground lug P1, and the plated mounting holes) are connected together internally on the NI sbRIO device. The ESD protection diodes are connected to the plated mounting holes with a lower inductive path than the path to D GND, so the best ESD protection is provided by connecting the plated mounting holes and ground lug P1 to a low inductive earth ground.

Care must be taken to not connect the grounds in such a way that stray power supply currents traverse through the board. For example, when using the NI sbRIO-964x/9642XT, the D GND connections on the 24 V DIO connectors J5 and J6 should not be carrying more than a few tens of milliamps of current. Ideally, only the return current for the 24 V inputs should return through D GND on J5, and D GND on J6 should have no current flow. For the remaining connectors, a good rule of thumb is current flowing out of the connector should match current flowing in.

To verify correct grounding of the NI sbRIO device, make sure current flowing into the power connector J3 equals the current flowing out of power connector J3. These currents should be measured with a current probe after final assembly of the end product and any current differences investigated and removed.

All external power supplies should have their connected to a system ground external to the NI sbRIO device. Do not use the NI sbRIO device as the common system grounding point. Significant currents traversing through the NI sbRIO grounds can result in digital component failures. If more than 3 A flows through the common (–) pin on the J3 power connector, components start to fuse open.

Connecting the NI 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 NI sbRIO Device

The NI 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 NI 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 NI sbRIO device can require power: NI sbRIO internal operation, including integrated analog and digital I/O; 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. Refer to Figure 13 for an illustration of the power supply connection.

NI sbRIO-961x/9612XT/963x/9632XT/964x/9642XT 16 ni.com

1. Remove the MINI-COMBICON plug from connector J3 of the

Common

Voltage

(+)

NI sbRIO device. 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.

Note The 24 V digital output of the NI sbRIO-964x/9642XT requires a separate,

additional power supply. Refer to the Integrated 24 V Digital Output

(NI sbRIO-964x/9642XT Only) and Specifications sections for more information about

powering digital output channels.

Powering On the NI sbRIO Device

When you apply power to the NI sbRIO device, the device runs a power-on self test (POST). During the POST, the Power and Status LEDs turn on. When the Status LED turns off, 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.

Figure 13. Connecting a Power Supply

Boot Options

Table 2 lists the reset options available on NI sbRIO devices. These options determine how the FPGA behaves when the device is reset in various conditions. Use the RIO Device Setup utility to select reset options. Access the RIO Device Setup utility by selecting Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-RIO»RIO Device Setup.

when the device powers on.

Autoload VI on device reboot Loads the FPGA bit stream from flash to the FPGA when you

reboot the device either with or without cycling power.

Note If you want a VI to run when loaded to the FPGA, complete the following steps.

1. Right-click the FPGA Target item in the Project Explorer window in

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 NI sbRIO Device

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

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 NI 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 NI 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 NI 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

• No parity

• One stop bit

• No flow control

Keep this switch in the OFF position during normal operation. If CONSOLE OUT is enabled, LabVIEW RT cannot communicate with the serial port.

IP RESET Switch

Push the IP RESET switch to the ON position and reboot the NI sbRIO device to reset the IP address to subnet and the IP RESET switch is in the ON position, the device appears in MAX with IP address the device in MAX. Refer to the Resetting the Network Configuration of the

The 33 Ω current-limiting posistor, R1, and the protection diodes, D1 and D2, protect each DIO channel against externally applied voltages 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. 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 NI sbRIO devices are 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.

Signal Integrity

NI sbRIO boards have a 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 a 3M 3353 series ribbon cable, which 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. These +5 V outputs are referenced to D GND on the headers and are connected directly to the internal 5 V power plane of the NI 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 NI sbRIO power supply has 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. The OEM user is responsible for determining cabling requirements and ensuring that current limits are not exceeded.

Integrated Analog Input

Connector J7 provides connections for 32 single-ended analog input channels or 16 differential analog input channels. Connector J7 also provides one connection for AI SENSE and nine connections for AI GND. Refer to the I/O and Other Connectors on the NI sbRIO Device section for a pinout of connector J7.

The integrated analog input of the NI sbRIO device is similar to that of the NI 9205, but there is no isolation or digital I/O. Figure 17 shows the input circuitry for one channel.

Differential Measurement Configurations

You can use a differential measurement configuration to attain more accurate measurements and less noise. A differential measurement configuration requires two inputs for each measurement, thus reducing the number of available channels to 16.

Non-Referenced, Single-Ended (NRSE) Measurements

You can use an NRSE measurement configuration to take measurements on all 32 channels while reducing noise more effectively than with an RSE connection configuration. This configuration provides remote sense for the negative (–) input of the programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (PGIA) that is shared by all channels configured for NRSE mode. The behavior of this configuration is similar to the behavior of RSE connections, but it provides improved noise rejection. Figure 20 shows how to make an NRSE analog input connection for a floating signal and for a ground-referenced signal.

When you apply power to the NI sbRIO device, analog output channels are unpowered until data is written to them. When the channels receive the first data, they turn on and drive the output voltage configured in software. This behavior is similar to that of the NI 9263. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about power-on voltage. Refer to the software help for information about configuring startup output states in software.

AO GND

The integrated digital input of the NI sbRIO device is similar to that of the NI 9425, but there is no isolation. The 24 V digital input channels are sinking inputs, meaning that when the device drives a current or applies a voltage to the DI pin, the pin provides a path to D GND. D GND is the current return path for sourcing digital input devices. The NI sbRIO-964x/ 9642XT internally limits current signals connected to DI. For more information about input current protection, refer to the Specifications section.

You can connect 2-, 3-, and 4-wire sourcing-output devices to the NI sbRIO-964x/9642XT. A sourcing-output device drives current or applies voltage to the DI pin. An example of a sourcing-output device is an open collector PNP.

The digital input channel registers as ON when the sourcing-output device applies a voltage or drives a current to the DI pin that is in the input ON range. The channel registers as OFF when the device applies a voltage or drives a current to the DI pin that is in the input OFF range. If no device is connected to the DI pin, the channel registers as OFF. Refer to the

Integrated 24 V Digital Output (NI sbRIO-964x/9642XT Only)

Connector J5 of the NI sbRIO-964x/9642XT provides connections for 32 current-sourcing digital output channels. Refer to the I/O and Other

Connectors on the NI sbRIO Device section for a pinout of connector J5.

The DO pin of the channel drives current or applies voltage to a connected device. You can directly connect the NI sbRIO-964x/9642XT to a variety of industrial devices such as motors, actuators, relays, and lamps. Make sure the devices you connect to the NI sbRIO-964x/9642XT are compatible with the output specifications. Refer to the Specifications section for the output specifications.

The 24 V digital outputs of the NI sbRIO-964x/9642XT require a 6–35 VDC power supply separate from the power supply connected to J3.

Connect the device to DO and D GND, and connect the external power supply to V

Increasing Current Drive

If you do not modify the NI sbRIO device, each channel has a continuous output current of 250 mA. If you want to increase the output current to a device, you can connect any number of channels together in parallel. For example, if you want to drive 1 A of current, connect DO<0..3> in parallel as shown in Figure 25. You must turn all parallel channels on and off simultaneously so that the current on any single channel cannot exceed the 250 mA rating. You must also select heavier cabling for the connection between the negative terminal of the device and the negative terminal of the power supply for the device. Refer to Figure 25 and use heavier cabling where indicated by heavier traces.

If you add heat sinks to the output transistors U49–U56 and U110–U117, such that the measured case temperature of the transistors remains below 65 °C at ambient temperature of 55 °C, each channel can drive up to 1.5 A. However, the total current through all channels must not exceed 20 A.

Use a heat sink that dissipates 0.5 W for each transistor driving up to 1.5 A. For example, for four transistors, each driving 1.5 A, use a 2 W heat sink. Table 5 shows the channels associated with the output transistors.

(ppm of

Range)

Absolute accuracy at full scale on the analog input channels is determined using the following assumptions:

TempChangeFromLastExternalCal = 45 °C

TempChangeFromLastInternalCal = 5°C

NumberOfReadings = 100

CoverageFactor = 3 σ

For example, on the 10 V range, the absolute accuracy at full scale is as follows:

GainError = 94 ppm + 23 ppm · 5 + 5 ppm · 45

GainError = 434 ppm

OffsetError = 20 ppm + 49 ppm · 5 + 76 ppm

OffsetError = 341 ppm

NoiseUncertainty = (244 μV · 3) /

100

Noise Uncertainty = 73.2 μV

AbsoluteAccuracy = 10 V · 434 ppm + 10 V · 341 ppm + 73.2 μV

AbsoluteAccuracy = 7,823 μV (rounds to 7,820 μV)

To determine the absolute accuracy over the full operating temperature range, let:

Example power requirement calculations:

• For an NI sbRIO-9642/9642XT with three installed board-only C Series modules, 20 mA total current through the 3.3 V DIO pins, and 1 A of current through the 5 V output, calculate the total power requirement as follows:

DIO

= 5.55 W

Adding 20% for transient conditions, 16.93 W × 1.2 = 20.32 W

Total power requirement = 20.32 W

• For an sbRIO-9612/9612XT with one installed board-only C Series module, 330 mA total current through the 3.3 V DIO pins, and no 5 V output used, calculate the total power requirement as follows:

= 7.50 W

int

= 1.10 W

CSer

= 1.28 W

DIO

= 0.00 W

Adding 20% for transient conditions, 9.88 W × 1.2 = 11.86 W
