The height of the mating connector you select to mate to the RMC connector determines the height of the standoffs you need. Samtec, the connector manufacturer, requires that standoffs be 0.15 mm taller than the combined height of the RMC and mating connectors. Therefore, to determine the required standoff height, you must add the heights of the connectors plus 0.15 mm. For example, if you are using a SEAM-40-03.0-S-06-2 connector to mate to the RMC connector (SEAF-40-06.5-S-06-2), the required standoff height is 3.0 mm + 6.5 mm + 0.15 mm = 9.65 mm. Standoffs of this height are available from National Instruments (NI 153166-12) or Samtec (SO-0965-03-02-L-N). Consult Samtec for alternative heights and options. You must observe keepouts and maximum heights with all RMC and mating connector combinations. © National Instruments 5 NI sbRIO-960x/962x/963x OEM Instructions & Specifications Dimensions This section contains dimensional drawings of the NI sbRIO devices.

NI sbRIO- Device Mating Procedure NI sbRIO-960x/962x/963x OEM Instructions & Specifications 16 ni.com Understanding Ground Connections The front I/O connector shields, chassis ground bracket, and mounting holes near the front I/O are connected together internally to form chassis ground. Chassis ground is capacitively coupled to digital ground near the power connector. For the best possible ESD protection, connect chassis ground at the mounting holes or the chassis ground bracket to a low inductance earth ground. When connecting the NI sbRIO device to external devices, ensure that stray ground currents are not using the device as a return path. Significant stray currents traversing through the NI sbRIO device can result in device failure. To verify correct grounding of the NI sbRIO device, make sure the current flowing into the power connector equals the current flowing out of the power connector. These currents should be measured with a current probe after final assembly of the end system. Investigate and remove any current differences.

RMC VBAT The NI sbRIO device implements an onboard real-time clock (RTC) to keep track of absolute time. The RMC connector provides a VBAT line to power the RTC. Without a battery, absolute time will be reset during a power cycle. Batteries connected to VBAT must have a nominal output between 3.0 V and 3.6 V, and a maximum output of 3.7 V. If VBAT is not being used, leave it disconnected. USB on RMC Connector The USB pair on the RMC Connector has a 90 Ω differential trace impedance.

Integrated Analog Input This section applies only to the following NI sbRIO devices: • NI sbRIO-9623 • NI sbRIO-9633 • NI sbRIO-9626 • NI sbRIO-9636 Each NI sbRIO-9623/9633 devices has 16 multiplexed, 0–5 V, single-ended, 12-bit analog input (AI) channels. Each NI sbRIO-9626/9636 device has 16 multiplexed, ±10 V, single-ended or eight differential, 16-bit AI channels. Connector J503, the MIO connector, provides connections for analog inputs, outputs, and grounds. Refer to Figure 17 for a pinout of connector J503.

Single-Ended Analog Input on the NI sbRIO-9623/9633 © National Instruments 25 NI sbRIO-960x/962x/963x OEM Instructions & Specifications I/O Connector The following figure shows the circuitry for one AI channel on the NI sbRIO-9626/9636. AI <0..15> Mux DIFF, RSE PGIA ADC AI Data Input Range Selection AI GND AI Terminal Configuration Selection Figure 22. Single-Ended Analog Input on the NI sbRIO-9626/9636 Analog Input Range An input range is a set of input voltages that an analog input channel can digitize with the specified accuracy. NI sbRIO devices with selectable input ranges have a programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (PGIA), which amplifies or attenuates the AI signal depending on the input range. You can program the input range for each AI channel independently on the NI sbRIO 9626/9636. The ADC converts analog inputs into discrete digital values. For a 12-bit ADC there are 212 (4,096) possible values, and for a 16-bit ADC there are 216 (65,536) possible values. These values are spread evenly across the input range, and the voltage difference between values is proportional to the input range selected for the channel. The voltage difference between values is the size of the least significant bit (LSB size) for the channel. The following equation shows how to calculate the LSB size for a channel set to the –10 V to 10 V input range, with a 16-bit ADC. 10 V – (–10 V) = 305 μV 65,536 (1) The NI sbRIO-9626/9636 uses a scaling method that requires some codes (typically about 5% of the codes) to lie outside the specified range. This method improves absolute accuracy, but it increases the LSB size by about 5% over the calculated value. Choose an input range that matches the expected range of your input signal. A large input range accommodates large variations in signals but NI sbRIO-960x/962x/963x OEM Instructions & Specifications 26 ni.com results in a larger LSB and, therefore, lower resolution. A smaller input range improves the resolution, but large input signals may go out of range. For more information about selecting ranges, refer to the LabVIEW Help. Table 5 shows the input ranges and resulting LSB sizes for AI channels on each NI sbRIO device. Table 5.

Working Voltage Range The PGIA on NI sbRIO devices operates normally by amplifying signals of interest while rejecting common-mode signals under the following three conditions: • The common-mode voltage (Vcm), which is equivalent to subtracting AIGND from AI–, must be less than ±10 V. Vcm is a constant for all range selections. • The signal voltage (Vs), which is equivalent to subtracting AI+ from AI–, must be less than or equal to the range selection of the given channel. If Vs is greater than the range selected, the signal clips and information is lost. • The total working voltage of the positive input, which is equivalent to (Vcm + Vs), or subtracting AIGND from AI+, must be less than the maximum working voltage specified for that range. Refer to the NI sbRIO-9626/9636 section for the maximum working voltage for each range. If any of these conditions are exceeded, the input voltage is clamped until the fault condition is removed. © National Instruments 27 NI sbRIO-960x/962x/963x OEM Instructions & Specifications Best Practices for Scanning Multiple Channels NI sbRIO devices can scan multiple channels at high rates and digitize the signals accurately. If your application scans multiple channels, settling error can affect the accuracy of your measurements. Settling error is a difference between the input value and the value that the ADC digitizes, and is the result of switching between multiplexed input channels. National Instruments defines settling error as the difference between a single-channel measurement of a signal and a multiple-channel measurement of the same signal. Settling errors are directly proportional to channel-to-channel voltage step size and the time between acquisitions. NI sbRIO devices scan at a fixed rate equal to the maximum aggregate rate. To ensure the lowest possible settling errors, design your application according to the following best practices: 1. Use Low-Impedance Sources—Ensure that the impedance of signal sources is less than 1 kΩ. High-impedance sources increase settling errors and decrease accuracy at fast scanning rates. You can reduce impedance by connecting a voltage-follower circuit between the signal source and the AI pin of the channel. For more information about reducing impedance, go to ni.com/info and entering the Info Code rdbbis. 2. Use Short, High-Quality Cabling—Using short, high-quality cables can minimize several effects that degrade accuracy, including crosstalk, transmission line effects, and noise. The capacitance of the cable can also increase the settling error. National Instruments recommends using individually shielded twisted-pair wires shorter than 2 m to connect AI signals to the device. Refer to the Connecting Analog Input Signals section for more information. 3. Minimize Voltage Step between Adjacent Channels—Settling error increases with the voltage step between channels. If you know the expected input ranges of your signals, you can group signals with similar expected ranges together on adjacent channels. Note When you program your I/O node with a scan list, the NI sbRIO device scans channels in numerical order at a fixed rate. Calling a second I/O node adds an extra delay before the first channel but does not reduce settling error. NI sbRIO-960x/962x/963x OEM Instructions & Specifications 28 ni.com Differential Measurement Configurations To attain more accurate measurements and less noise on NI sbRIO-9626/9636 devices, use a differential measurement configuration. A differential measurement configuration requires two inputs for each measurement, reducing the number of available channels from 16 to eight. Table 6 shows the signal pairs that are valid for differential connection configurations. Table 6.

NI sbRIO-960x/962x/963x OEM Instructions & Specifications 30 ni.com Connecting Floating Signal Sources What Are Floating Signal Sources? A floating signal source is not connected to the building ground system, but has an isolated ground-reference point. Some examples of floating signal sources are outputs of transformers, thermocouples, battery-powered devices, optical isolators, and isolation amplifiers. An instrument or device that has an isolated output is a floating signal source. When to Use Differential Connections with Floating Signal Sources Use DIFF input connections for any channel that meets any of the following conditions: • The input signal is low level (less than 1 V). • The leads connecting the signal to the device are greater than 3 m (10 ft). • The input signal requires a separate ground-reference point or return signal. • The signal leads travel through noisy environments. • Two analog input channels, AI+ and AI–, are available for the signal. DIFF signal connections reduce noise pickup and increase common-mode noise rejection. DIFF signal connections also allow input signals to float within the common-mode limits of the PGIA. Refer to the Using Differential Connections for Floating Signal Sources section for more information about differential connections. When to Use Referenced Single-Ended (RSE) Connections with Floating Signal Sources Only use RSE input connections if the input signal meets the following conditions: • The input signal can share a common reference point, AI GND, with other signals that use RSE. • The input signal is high-level (greater than 1 V). • The leads connecting the signal to the device are less than 3 m (10 ft). DIFF input connections are recommended for greater signal integrity for any input signal that does not meet the preceding conditions. In the single-ended modes, more electrostatic and magnetic noise couples into the signal connections than in DIFF configurations. The coupling is the © National Instruments 31 NI sbRIO-960x/962x/963x OEM Instructions & Specifications result of differences in the signal path. Magnetic coupling is proportional to the area between the two signal conductors. Electrical coupling is a function of how much the electric field differs between the two conductors. With this type of connection, the NI sbRIO device rejects both the common-mode noise in the signal and the ground potential difference between the signal source and the device ground. Using Differential Connections for Floating Signal Sources It is important to connect the negative lead of a floating source to AI GND (either directly or through a bias resistor). Otherwise, the source may float out of the maximum working voltage range of the PGIA device and the return erroneous data. The easiest way to reference the source to AI GND is to connect the positive side of the signal to AI+ and connect the negative side of the signal to AI GND as well as to AI– without using resistors. This connection works well for DC-coupled sources with low source impedance (less than 100 Ω). AI+ Floating Signal Source + Vs – AI– Inpedance <100 Ω AI GND Figure 24. Differential Connections for Floating Signal Sources without Bias Resistors However, for larger source impedances, this connection leaves the DIFF signal path significantly off balance. Noise that couples electrostatically onto the positive line does not couple onto the negative line because it is connected to ground. This noise appears as a differential mode signal instead of a common-mode signal, and thus appears in your data. In this case, instead of directly connecting the negative line to AI GND, connect the negative line to AI GND through a resistor that is about 100 times the equivalent source impedance. The resistor puts the signal path nearly in balance, so that about the same amount of noise couples onto both connections, yielding better rejection of electrostatically coupled noise. This configuration does not load down the source (other than the very high input impedance of the PGIA). NI sbRIO-960x/962x/963x OEM Instructions & Specifications 32 ni.com AI+ Floating Signal Source + Vs – AI– R is about 100 times source impedance of sensor R AI GND Figure 25. Differential Connections for Floating Signal Sources with Single Bias Resistor You can fully balance the signal path by connecting another resistor of the same value between the positive input and AI GND, as shown in Figure 26. This fully balanced configuration offers slightly better noise rejection, but has the disadvantage of loading the source down with the series combination (sum) of the two resistors. If, for example, the source impedance is 2 kΩ and each of the two resistors is 100 kΩ, the resistors load down the source with 200 kΩ and produce a –1% gain error. © National Instruments 33 NI sbRIO-960x/962x/963x OEM Instructions & Specifications AI+ Floating Signal Source + Bias Resistors (see text) Vs + Instrumentation Amplifier – PGIA AI– – + Measured Vm Voltage – Bias Current Return Paths Input Multiplexers AI GND I/O Connector Figure 26. Differential Connections for Floating Signal Sources with Balanced Bias Resistors Both inputs of the PGIA require a DC path to ground in order for the PGIA to work. If the source is AC coupled (capacitively coupled), the PGIA needs a resistor between the positive input and AI GND. If the source has low-impedance, choose a resistor that is large enough not to significantly load the source but small enough not to produce significant input offset voltage as a result of input bias current (typically 100 kΩ to 1 MΩ). In this case, connect the negative input directly to AI GND. If the source has high output impedance, balance the signal path as previously described using the same value resistor on both the positive and negative inputs; be aware that there is some gain error from loading down the source, as shown in Figure 27.

If the device is unable to initiate a DHCP connection, it connects to the network with a link-local IP address with the form 169.254.x.x. After powerup, you must install software on the device and configure the network settings in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Note Installing software may change the network behavior of the device. For information about network behavior by installed software version, go to ni.com/info and enter the Info Code ipconfigcrio. Connecting Serial Devices NI sbRIO devices populated with RS-232 and RS-485 serial ports can connect to 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. Connecting CAN Networks NI sbRIO devices populated with one IDC header provide connections to a CAN bus. CAN-enabled NI sbRIO devices have pins for CAN_H and CAN_L, which can connect to the CAN bus signals. The CAN port uses an NXP PCA82C251T high-speed CAN transceiver that is fully compatible with the ISO 11898 standard and supports baud rates up to 1 Mbps. The port has two common pins (GND) that serve as the reference ground for CAN_H and CAN_L. You can connect the CAN bus reference ground (sometimes referred to as CAN_V–) to one or both COM pins. The port also has an optional shield pin (SHLD) that can connect to a shielded CAN cable. Connecting SHLD may improve signal integrity and EMC performance. CAN Bus Topology and Termination A CAN bus consists of two or more CAN nodes cabled together. The CAN_H and CAN_L pins of each node are connected to the main CAN bus cable through a short connection called a stub. The pair of signal wires, CAN_H and CAN_L, constitutes a transmission line. If the transmission line is not terminated, signal changes on the bus cause reflections that can cause communication errors. The CAN bus is bidirectional, and both ends of the cable must be terminated. This requirement does not mean that every node on the bus should have a termination resistor; only the two nodes at the far end of the cable should have termination resistors. © National Instruments 39 NI sbRIO-960x/962x/963x OEM Instructions & Specifications Figure 31 shows a simplified diagram of a CAN bus with multiple CAN nodes and proper termination resistor (Rt) locations.

CAN Bus Topology and Termination Resistor Locations Cable Specifications Cables should meet the physical medium requirements specified in ISO 11898, shown in Table 9. Belden cable (3084A) meets all these requirements and is suitable for most applications. Table 9.

You can find detailed cable length recommendations in the ISO 11898, CiA DS 102, and DeviceNet specifications. ISO 11898 specifies 40 m total cable length with a maximum stub length of 0.3 m for a bit rate of 1 Mb/s. The ISO 11898 specification allows for significantly longer cable lengths at lower bit rates, but each node should be analyzed for signal integrity problems. Number of CAN Nodes The maximum number of nodes depends on the electrical characteristics of the nodes on the network. If all nodes meet the ISO 11898 requirements, you can connect at least 30 nodes to the bus. You can connect higher numbers of nodes if the electrical characteristics of the node do not degrade signal quality below ISO 11898 signal level specifications.
