USER GUIDE
SCC-RLY01 Relay Module

SCC-RLY01 Relay Module

The SCC-RLY01 contains one single-pole double-throw (SPDT) nonlatching relay capable of switching 5 A at 30 VDC when using an SC-2345 or SC-2350, or 250 VAC when using an SCC-68. Any single E/M Series DAQ device digital input/output (P0) line 0 to 7 can control the SCC-RLY01.
The SCC-RLY01 uses positive logic. A digital high sets the relay, and a digital low resets it. In the set state, the common (COM) contact is connected to the normally open (NO) contact. In the reset state, the common (COM) contact is  connected to the normally closed (NC) contact.

Conventions

The following conventions are used in this guide:

| Angle brackets that contain numbers separated by an ellipsis represent a range of values associated with  a bit or signal name—for example, P0 <3..0>.
---|---
| The » symbol leads you through nested menu items and dialog box options to a final action. The  sequence File»Page Setup»Options directs you to pull down the File menu, select the Page Setup item,  and select Options from the last dialog box.
| This icon denotes a note, which alerts you to important information.
| This icon denotes a caution, which advises you of precautions to take to avoid injury, data loss, or a  system crash. When this symbol is marked on the product, refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Radio- Frequency Interference document, shipped with the product, for precautions to take.
| When symbol is marked on a product, it denotes a warning advising you to take precautions to avoid  electrical shock.
| When symbol is marked on a product, it denotes a component that may be  hot. Touching this  component may result in bodily injury.

– One or more SCC-RLY01 modules
– 68-pin E/M Series DAQ device
– 68-pin cable
– Quick Reference Label
❑ Software
– The latest version of NI-DAQmx
❑ Documentation
– SCC-RLY01 Relay Module User Guide
– SC-2345/2350 User Manual or SCC-68 User Guide
– SCC Quick Start Guide
– Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference
– Documentation for your hardware
– Documentation for your software
❑ Tools
– 1/8 in. flathead screwdriver

You can download NI documents from ni.com/manuals. To download the latest version of NI-DAQ, click Download Software at ni.com.

Note Configuring the SCC system using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) is not supported on the Macintosh operating system.

Device Specific Information

Note For general SCC module installation and signal connection information, and information about the SCC-68 or SC-2345 carrier, refer to the SCC Quick Start Guide, available for download at ni.com/manuals.

Installing the Module
Caution Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference document before removing equipment covers or connecting/disconnecting any signal wires.
Plug the SCC-RLY01 into any DIO socket J(X+9), where X is 0 to 7, on the SC-2345, or into any of the four slots that correspond to P0.0 to P0.3 on the SCC-68.

Connecting the Input Signals
Note The signal names have changed. Refer to ni.com/info and enter rdtntg to confirm the signal names.
Each screw terminal is labeled by pin number <1..3>. Pin 1 is the NC terminal, pin 2 is the COM terminal, and pin 3 is the NO terminal.
The SCC-RLY01 contains one SPDT relay controlled by the digital line of an E/M Series DAQ device P0. line X. The value of X is determined by the number of the DIO socket, J(X+9) on the SC-2345 or SCC Mod (X + 1) on the SCC-68,  where you plug in the SCC-RLY01. Figure 1 shows a circuit diagram of the SCC-RLY01.

Caution When connecting signals >60 VDC to the SCC-RLY01 module in the SCC-68, you must use the high-voltage backshell. Figure 2 shows the high- voltage backshell.

For information about how to configure the SCC-RLY01 module with NI-DAQmx, refer to the SCC Quick Start Guide.
