Connecting to 5B and SSR Signal Conditioning
NI provides cables that allow you to connect signals from the NI 783
x
R
directly to 5B backplanes for analog signal conditioning and SSR
backplanes for digital signal conditioning.
The NSC68-262650 cable connects the signals on the NI 783
x
R MIO
connector directly to 5B and SSR backplanes. This cable has a 68-pin male
VHDCI connector on one end that plugs into the NI 783
x
R MIO connector.
The other end of this cable provides two 26-pin female headers plus one
50-pin female header.
One of the 26-pin headers contains all the NI 783
x
R analog input signals.
You can plug this connector directly into a 5B backplane for analog
input signal conditioning. The NI 783
x
R AI<0..
n
> correspond to the
5B backplane channels <0..
n
> in sequential order. Configure the AI
channels to use the NRSE input mode when using 5B signal conditioning.
The other 26-pin header contains all the NI 783
x
R analog output signals.
You can plug this connector directly into a 5B backplane for AO signal
conditioning. The NI 783
x
R AO<0..
n
> correspond to the 5B backplane
channels <0..
n
> in sequential order.
The 50-pin header contains the 16 DIO lines available on the NI 783
x
R
MIO connector. You can plug this header directly into an SSR backplane
for digital signal conditioning. DIO lines <0..15> correspond to the
5B backplane Slots <0..15> in sequential order.
The 5B connector pinouts are compatible with eight-channel 5B08
backplanes and 16-channel 5B01 backplanes. The NI 7830R can accept
analog input from the first four channels of a 16-channel backplane. The
NI 7831R/7833R can accept analog input from the first eight channels of a
16-channel backplane. The SSR connector pinout is compatible with
eight-, 16-, 24-, and 32-channel SSR backplanes. You can connect to an
SSR backplane containing a number of channels unequal to the 16 DIO
lines available on the 50-pin header. In this case, you have access to only
the channels that exist on both the SSR backplane and the NSC68-262650
cable 50-pin header.
Figure B-3 shows the connector pinouts when using the NSC68-262650
cable.
