Universal Analog Input Module

This document explains how to connect to the sbRIO-9218.

Note

 

Before you begin, read the 

sbRIO-9218 Safety, Environmental, and

Regulatory Information

 document on 

ni.com/manuals

 and complete the software

and hardware installation procedures in your chassis documentation.

Note

 

The guidelines in this document are specific to the sbRIO-9218. The other

components in the system might not meet the same safety ratings. Refer to the

documentation for each component in the system to determine the safety and EMC

ratings for the entire system.
