Connecting the Input Signals
The SCC-AI XX has a fixed screw-terminal receptacle and a removable
screw-terminal block, as shown in Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2. SCC-AI XX Two-Part Screw-Terminal System
After you install the SCC-AI XX , connect the input signals to the removable
screw-terminal block of the module.
1. Remove power from the signal lines.
2. Strip 7 mm of insulation from the ends of the signal wires.
3. Insert the wires into the screw terminals.
4. Tighten the screws to 0.5 to 0.6 N · m (4.4 to 5.3 lb - in.) of torque.
Each screw terminal is labeled by pin number <1..4>. Pins 1 and 2 form a
channel routed to E Series DAQ device channel
X
+
8, and pins 3 and 4 form
a channel routed to the E Series DAQ device channel X , where X is 0 to 7
depending on the socket where you plug in the module. The SCC-AI XX
provides channel-to-ground and module-to-module isolation only. It does
not provide isolation between the two channels of the SCC-AI
XX . Because
both channels must have the same reference voltage, pins 1 and 3 are
connected together internally. Figure 1-3 shows the SCC-AI
XX signal
connections.
