BNC-2110 Installation Guide
3.
Make sure the floating source (FS)/ground-referenced source (GS)
switches under BNC connectors AI <0..7> are set correctly for your
application. Refer to the
Connecting Analog Inputs (E Series and
section for more information.
4.
Connect the field signals to the BNC connectors and/or digital spring
terminal plugs. Refer to the
Configuring the BNC-2110
section
for
more information.
5.
Refer to the
DAQ Quick Start Guide
to launch Measurement &
Automation Explorer (MAX), confirm that your DAQ device is
recognized, and configure your device settings. National Instruments
recommends that you use your DAQ device in differential mode when
using the BNC-2110.
6.
Test specific device functionality, such as the ability to send and
receive data. Refer to the
DAQ Quick Start Guide
for more detailed
information about running test panels in MAX.
When you have finished using the BNC-2110, power off any external
signals connected to the BNC-2110 before you power off your computer.
Caution
The BNC-2110 is not designed for input voltages greater than 42 V, even if a
user-installed voltage divider reduces the voltage to within the input range of the DAQ
device. Input voltages greater than 42 V can damage the BNC-2110, any device connected
to it, and the host computer. Overvoltage also can cause an electric shock hazard for the
operator. National Instruments is
not
liable for damage or injury resulting from misuse.
Connecting the Cables
Caution
Do not connect the BNC-2110 to any device other than National Instruments
E Series, S Series, or waveform generation Multifunction DAQ devices. Doing so can
damage the BNC-2110, the DAQ device, or the host computer. National Instruments is
not
liable for damage resulting from these connections.
The BNC-2110 has one 68-pin connector on the rear panel to connect to
your DAQ device. Refer to Table 1 to make this connection.
