DAPTER

The 68VHDCI-50F SSR 8, 16, 24 Channel Cable Adapter allows you to
connect the digital I/O port of your National Instruments 7344, 7314, or
7324 series motion controller to a third-party SSR (solid-state relay)
backplane. National Instruments recommends using the SHC68-C68-S
cable (part number 186380-02) with this cable adapter.

Connecting Your Adapter

Do the following steps to connect your adapter:

1.

Make sure all computers and peripherals are turned off, unplugged,
and that all LED lights have gone out, since some hardware remains
internally powered for some time after being unplugged.

2.

Install the 50-pin connector of the adapter onto the backplane
connector. The connector is keyed and can only install one way.

3.

Connect the SHC68-C68-S cable from the digital I/O port of your
motion controller to the adapter.

4.

Verify the adapter switches are in the correct position for your
application. Refer to

Configuring Your Switches

in the

Adapter

Configuration

section of this guide for more information.
