SLSC-12201 32 Channel 5 V Module Development Kit

This document explains how to connect the SLSC-12201.
Note
Before you begin, complete the software and hardware installation procedures applicable to your application.
Note
The guidelines in this document are specific to the SLSC-12201. The other components in the system might not meet the same safety ratings. Refer to the documentation of each component in the system to determine the safety and  EMC ratings for the entire system.

Safety Guidelines

Caution
Observe all instructions and cautions in the user documentation. Using the model in a manner not specified can damage the model and compromise the built- in safety protection. Return damaged models to NI for repair.

Safety Voltages

Caution
Do not connect the SLSC-12201 to signals or use for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.

Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated lowvoltage  sources, and electronics.

Note
Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are equivalent. These test and measurement circuits are for other circuits not intended for direct connection to the MAINS building installations of Measurement Categories CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV.

EMC Guidelines

This product was tested and complies with the regulatory requirements and limits for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) stated in the product specifications. These requirements and limits provide reasonable protection against harmful  interference when the product is operated in the intended operational electromagnetic environment.

This product is intended for use in industrial locations. However, harmful interference may occur in some installations, when the product is connected to a peripheral device or test object, or if the product is used in residential or  commercial areas. To minimize interference with radio and television reception and prevent unacceptable performance degradation, install and use this product in strict accordance with the instructions in the product documentation.
Furthermore, any changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved by National Instruments could void your authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules.

Notice
To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with shielded cables and accessories.
Notice
To ensure the specified EMC performance, the length of all I/O cables must be no longer than 3 m (10 ft).

Preparing the Environment

Ensure that the environment in which you are using the SLSC-12201 meets the following specifications.

Module operating temperature
(IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2)| 0 °C to 85 °C1
---|---
Operating humidity (IEC 60068-2-78)| 10% RH to 90% RH, noncondensing
Pollution Degree| 2
Maximum altitude| 2,000 m

Indoor use only.
Note Refer to the device specifications on ni.com/manuals for complete specifications.

Circuitry

Note
Diagram only shows one channel.

All voltages are relative to GND unless otherwise noted.
Note
You can configure the power-on configuration in the software. The factory default power-on configuration sets the front I/O channels to sinking input and rear I/O channels to input.

Connecting Digital Devices to the SLSC-12201

The SLSC-12201 has 32 digital input/output channels that allow the direction to be configured for each channel. The 32 channels are organized into two banks of 16 channels each. Each bank can be powered from either of the Vsup connections. The banks are further organized into two ports of eight channels each. In the example shown below, the SLSC-12201 connects to the PXIe-7821R through the RTI-12301.

Short-Circuit Protection

Digital output channels are protected against short-circuit faults.
Note
The SLSC-12201 supports up to 10 channels in simultaneous short-circuit fault.
