Non-Enclosed, 2-Port, C Series Vehicle
Multiprotocol Interface Module
This document describes how to connect to the sbRIO-9860.
Note Before you begin, complete the software and
hardware installation procedures in your chassis
documentation.
Note The guidelines in this document are specific to
the sbRIO-9860. The other components in the system
might not meet the same safety ratings. Refer to the
documentation for each component in the system to
determine the safety and EMC ratings for the entire
system. Refer to the sbRIO-9860 Safety,Environmental, and Regulatory Information for safety
and EMC information specific to the sbRIO-9860
module.
Note The sbRIO-9860 must be installed inside a
suitable shielded enclosure prior to use.
Connecting the sbRIO-9860
The sbRIO-9860 has two ports for connecting to transceiver
cables (required to connect to the CAN/LIN bus) and a twoposition connector for use with an external power supply.

For more information about transceiver cables, refer to the
Transceiver Cable page on ni.com.
The sbRIO-9860 requires an external power supply of +9 V to
+30 V to power the transceiver cables. Supply power to the
sbRIO-9860 V
connector on the module front panel using the
SUP
supplied power cable. The exposed lead wires at the end of the
power cable are routed as follows: black wire—COM, red wire—
V
. The power cable lead wires may be daisy-chained to the
SUP
controller power port when the controller supply voltage is in the
appropriate range.
Note Power on V
is required for transceiver cable
SUP
operation.
Note When using more than four transceiver cables
with your CompactRIO chassis, refer to the Transceiver
Cable page on ni.com for mounting guidelines to limit
the thermal impact to your CompactRIO system.

Pull Cable
Transceiver Cable
The NI-XNET Transceiver Cable connects to a host device with
an active latching connector. To connect the NI-XNET
Transceiver Cable to a host device, push the connector assembly
into the host receptacle until the internal latch snaps into position.
The latch emits an audible click when engaged. To remove the
NI-XNET Transceiver Cable, push the lock ejector forward to
disengage the latch and simultaneously pull the NI-XNET
Transceiver Cable, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 2. Inserting and Removing the NI-XNET Transceiver Cable
The sbRIO-9860 connects to the provided power cable with an
active latching connector. To connect the power cable, push the
end of the power cable into the two-position connector until the
internal latch snaps into position. The latch emits an audible click
when engaged.
To remove the power cable, push the lock ejector down to
disengage the latch and simultaneously pull the power cable
away from the module, as shown in the following figure.
