SCC Configuration Guide
SCC – Portable, Low-Cost
Signal Conditioning
• Ideal for portable measurement systems
• Wide variety of direct signal and sensor
connectivity options
• Wide range of analog and digital
conditioning options
• Measurement type selectable
on a per-channel basis
• Front-end signal conditioning
for M Series, E Series, and some
B Series multifunction DAQ devices
Configure Your SCC System in Six Steps
Step 1 – Select Your SCC Modules (Table 1)
Analog input, analog output, and digital I/O modules have dedicated
slots. You can select up to eight noncascaded modules for analog input
and eight modules for digital I/O. You can install feedthrough modules in
any slot, but they are especially useful for accessing counter/timers on
your M Series, E Series, or B Series multifunction DAQ device.
Step 2 – Choose an SCC Carrier (Table 2)
SCC carriers are available either with a hinged lid or with
configurable connectors using panelettes. Hinged lids provide quick
access to the modules. Configurable connectors provide custom signalinterface options.
Step 3 – Select Your Panelettes (Table 3)
If you have chosen an SCC carrier with configurable connectors, you can
also select connector and interface panelettes. Different carriers offer
different numbers of panelette slots. Also, some panelettes occupy more
than one slot.
Step 4 – Determine Your Power Option (Table 4)
You can power an SCC system using a +5 VDC, 120/240 VAC, or
7 to 42 VDC external power source. To indicate the power option for your
SCC system, select 01, 02, or 03 as the last two digits of the part number
of the SC-2345 or SC-2350 carrier.
Please note that if you choose power option 01, it is possible to power
your SCC system using the internal power source of your DAQ device.
For DAQCard and DAQPad devices, the total power required by your SCC
modules must be less than 800 mW (490 mW of analog power). For PCI
or PXI and M Series or E Series multifunction DAQ devices, the total
power required by your SCC modules must be less than 4.55 W (1.74 W
for analog modules). Additional power modules are sold separately. To
determine the power requirements of the modules in your SCC DAQ
system, use the online SCC Advisor at ni.com/advisors.
Step 5 – Select Your DAQ Device and Cable (Table 5)
Select the DAQ device to control your system.
Step 6 – Select Your Accessories
Choose from rack/panel-mount kits and stacking kits. You can also select
additional power kits separately if your application requires multiple
power configurations.

The National Instruments SCC-SG Series consists of dual-channel strain
gage modules for conditioning quarter, half, and full-bridge strain gages
and a calibration module. Each module is designed for a specific type of
bridge configuration. Each channel of an NI SCC-SG module (except
SCC-SG11) includes an instrumentation amplifier, a 1.6 kHz lowpass
filter, and a potentiometer for bridge-offset nulling. Each SCC-SG0x
module also includes a single 2.5 V excitation source. The SCC-SG24
has a 10 V excitation source for load cells and pressure sensors.
The SCC-SG11 is a dual-channel shunt calibration module for use with
the SCC-SG0x and SCC-SG24 modules. Each channel includes two
terminals for wiring a switched 301 kΩ, 1 percent, 1⁄4 W resistor across
any two points of your bridge. You enable shunt calibration for both
channels of a module by writing a logic high to the digital line controlling
the SCC-SG11. You disable shunt calibration by writing a logic low to the
same digital line.
When you install an SCC-SG module in the SC-2345, the carrier routes
the strain gage signals to two input channels of the multifunction DAQ
device, channels x and x+8, where x is 0 through 7.

Description
±10 V isolated voltage output
Part Number
777459-50
The National Instruments SCC-AO10 is a single-channel isolated analog
voltage output module with an output range of ±10 V. Each channel of
the NI SCC-AO10 is referenced to its own isolated ground, allowing up to
60 VDC of common-mode voltage between grounds (channel-to-channel
or channel-to-chassis). In addition, the SCC-AO10 increases the output
current drive capacity of an M Series, E Series, or B Series multifunction
DAQ device to ±30 mA. Because the modules are isolated, you can
cascade two SCC-AO10 modules for an output range of ±20 V. There is
a maximum of two SCC-AO10 modules per carrier.
Note: Use the SCC-AO10 with only multifunction DAQ devices that have
analog outputs.

Description
Attenuator input
Part Number
777459-06
The National Instruments SCC-A10 is a dual-channel module that
accepts input voltage sources up to 60 VDC. Each channel of the
NI SCC-A10 includes a 10:1 attenuation circuit and differential
instrumentation amplifier with low-impedance outputs for maximum
scanning rates by the multifunction DAQ device. The attenuation circuit
includes high-impedance bias resistors, so you can connect floating or
ground-referenced inputs to the SCC-A10 without adding external bias
resistors. The SCC-A10 also provides overvoltage protection (up to
250 Vrms) for your DAQ system.
When you install an SCC-A10 module in the SC-2345, the carrier
routes the attenuated input signals to two input channels of the DAQ
device, channels x and x+8, where x is 0 through 7.

Part Number
777459-05
The National Instruments SCC-CI20 is a dual-channel module that
accepts two 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA current loop inputs. Each
independent channel of the NI SCC-CI20 includes a precision 249 Ω
current conversion resistor that converts a 0 to 20 mA signal into a
0 to 5 V signal. Each channel includes a differential instrumentation
amplifier with low-impedance outputs for maximum scanning rates by
the multifunction DAQ device, and bias resistors for handling both
floating and ground-referenced current sources. The SCC-CI20 also
includes two spare 249 Ω resistors.
When you install the SCC-CI20 in the SC-2345, the carrier routes the
two output voltages to two input channels of the DAQ device, channels x
and x+8, where x is 0 through 7. For example, if you install the module in
the J1 socket of the SC-2345, the output voltages are routed to input
channels 0 and 8 of the DAQ device.

Isolated current output
NI SCC-DI01 Optically Isolated Digital Input
Part Number
777459-33
The National Instruments SCC-CO20 is a single-channel isolated current
output module that can provide up to 20 mA. This module is installation
rated for CAT I, and provides a safe working voltage of 60 VDC. Because
the modules are isolated, you can connect two NI SCC-CO20 modules in
parallel to provide up to 40 mA.
The SCC-CO20 plugs into either analog output socket, J17 or J18.
The voltage applied to the module from an analog output channel of a
multifunction DAQ device sets the current output. Because there are two
output channels on DAQ devices, there are a maximum of two SCC-CO20
modules per carrier.
Note: Use the SCC-CO20 with only multifunction DAQ devices that have
analog outputs.

digital input module for sensing digital signals up to 30 VDC, including
TTL. This digital input module can sense both AC and DC signals and has
a status LED for visual verification of the module input status.
The NI SCC-DI01 fits in any SC-2345 socket J9 through J16. When
you install an SCC-DI01 in one of these sockets, the digital signal is
automatically routed to a DIO line of the multifunction DAQ device. For
example, socket J9 connects to digital line 0 of the data acquisition
device. Because you can configure multifunction DAQ devices for input
or output on a line-by-line basis, you can have between one and eight

NI SCC-DO01 optical isolation circuitry handles up to 24 VDC and
includes a status LED for visual verification of the module output status.
The SCC-DO01 includes an external switch with which you can configure
the power-up state of the module either high or low.
The SCC-DO01 plugs into any SC-2345 socket between J9 and J16.
When you install the module in one of these sockets, the digital signal is
controlled by a DIO line of the multifunction DAQ device. For example,
socket J9 connects to digital line 0 of the DAQ device. Because you can
configure DAQ devices for input or output on a line-by-line basis, you can
have from one to eight SCC-DO01 modules per carrier.
The National Instruments SCC-RLY01 is a single-channel relay module
for switching external devices. It contains one single-pole, double-throw
(SPDT) relay capable of switching 5 A at 30 VDC or 250 VAC when used
with the SCC-68 and 5 A at 30 VDC or 30 VAC when used with the
SC-2345. The NI SCC-RLY01 uses positive logic. A digital high sets the
relay, and a digital low resets it.
The SCC-RLY01 plugs into any SC-2345 socket between J9 and J16.
When inserting an SCC-RLY01, a DIO line of the multifunction DAQ
device controls the digital signal. For example, socket J9 connects to
digital line 0 of the data acquisition device. Because you can configure
the DAQ devices for input or output on a line-by-line basis, you can have
