Refer to the documentation for each component in your system to determine the safety ratings and specifications for the entire system. Safety Guidelines Operate the NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable only as described in these operating instructions. Hot Surface This icon denotes that the component may be hot. Touching this component may result in bodily injury. 2 | ni.com | NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable Operating Instructions Do not operate the NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable in a manner not specified in these operating instructions. Product misuse can result in a hazard. You can compromise the safety protection built into the product if the product is damaged in any way. If the product is damaged, return it to National Instruments for repair. Caution Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations The NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4 and Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable in a potentially explosive environment. Not following these guidelines may result in serious injury or death. Do not disconnect bus-side connector unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous. Caution NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable Operating Instructions | © National Instruments | 3 Do not unplug transceiver cable unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous. Caution Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2. Caution For Division 2 and Zone 2 applications, install the system in an enclosure rated to at least IP 54 as defined by IEC 60529 and EN 60529. Caution For Division 2 and Zone 2 applications, install a protection device between the LIN bus and the NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable LIN pins. The device must prevent the LIN Port-to-COM voltage from exceeding 55 V if there is a transient overvoltage condition. Caution Special Conditions for Safe Use in Europe This equipment has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 equipment under DEMKO Certificate 12 ATEX Number (1202658X). Each transceiver cable is marked II 3G and is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous locations. 4 | ni.com | NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable Operating Instructions You must make sure that transient disturbances do not exceed 140% of the rated voltage. Caution Caution The system shall be mounted in an ATEX certified enclosure with a minimum ingress protection rating of at least IP54 as defined in IEC/EN 60529 and used in an environment of not more than Pollution Degree 2. The enclosure must have a door or cover accessible only by the use of a tool. Caution Mounting the NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable The NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable is a thermally active device that dissipates heat. Caution Refer to the user manual of the host this device directly connects to for specific information regarding thermal management. Not following mounting requirements may affect the system ambient temperature and/or the measurement accuracy of modules in the system. NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable Operating Instructions | © National Instruments | 5 The Transceiver Cable is intended to be routed and strain relieved similar to other cables, and does not require a special mounting accessory. Wiring to the NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable The NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable is used with a compatible NI-XNET Transceiver Cable host port. NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS Figure 1. NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable Connections To LIN Bus To Transceiver Cable Host The NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable has one 9-pin male D-Sub connector that provides connections to a LIN bus. The port has two common pins (COM) that are internally connected to the transceiver cable’s isolated reference and serve as the reference ground for the LIN signal. You can connect the LIN bus reference ground to one or both COM pins. The D-Sub connector shell connects through the NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable shielding to the connector on the host port end. The shielding does not electrically connect to the COM signals. 6 | ni.com | NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable Operating Instructions The NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable gets power from the XNET host port but also requires an external power supply of +8 to +18 V to operate. Supply power to the NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable Vsup pin from the LIN bus. The NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable pinout is listed in Table 1. Table 1.

Cable Specifications LIN cables should meet the physical medium requirement of a bus RC time constant of 5 μs. For detailed formulas for calculating this value, refer to the Line Characteristics section of the LIN specification. Belden cable (3084A) and other unterminated CAN/Serial quality cables meet these requirements and should be suitable for most applications. Cable Lengths The maximum allowable cable length is 40 m, per the LIN specification. Number of LIN Nodes The maximum number of devices on a LIN bus is 16, per the LIN specification. 8 | ni.com | NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable Operating Instructions Termination Resistors LIN cables require no termination, as nodes are terminated at the transceiver. Slave nodes typically are pulled up from the LIN bus to Vsup with a 30 kΩ resistance and a serial diode. This termination usually is integrated into the transceiver package. The master node requires a 1 kΩ resistor and serial diode between the LIN bus and Vsup. On NI-XNET LIN products, master termination is software selectable; you can enable it in the API with the NI-XNET Session Interface:LIN:Termination property. NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable Hardware Overview The NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable has one full-featured LIN port that is isolated from the host it is plugged into. The port has an NXP TJA1028 LIN transceiver that is fully compatible with the LIN 1.3/2.0/2.1/2.2 and SAE J2602 standards and supports baud rates up to 20 kbps.

NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable Hardware Overview Isolation Barrier Transceiver To LIN Bus To Transceiver Cable Host Inserting and Removing the NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable The NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable connects to a host device with an active latching connector. To connect the NI-XNET LIN 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 LIN Transceiver Cable, push the lock ejector forward to disengage the latch and simultaneously pull the NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable, as shown in Figure 3. 10 | ni.com | NI-XNET LIN Transceiver Cable Operating Instructions Figure 3.
