NI SCB-68 HSDIO Connection Guide & Specifications
5.
Prepare the shielded, multi-conductor cable by stripping the insulation and shield(s) to
expose enough signal wire to connect from just inside the strain-relief bar to the appropriate
screw terminal. Ensure that the shield drain wire(s) of the shielded cable is long enough to
connect to one of the two ground lugs on the circuit board, which are shown in Figure 2.
6.
Connect the wires of the shielded, multi-conductor cable to the screw terminals by stripping
6 mm (0.25 in.) of insulation, inserting the wires into the screw terminals, and securely
tightening the screws with a flathead screwdriver to a torque of 0.5-0.6 N · m (4-5 in. · lb).
Note
Refer to the
Special Considerations for HSDIO Connections
information about appropriate cables and signal termination.
Caution
To ensure the specified EMC performance, signal wires routed outside of
the enclosure must be contained within a shielded cable and connected to shielded
accessories.
7.
Reinstall the strain-relief bar (if removed) and tighten the strain-relief screws. If the
shielded cable is too large to route through the strain-relief hardware, either use multiple,
smaller-diameter cables or remove the top strain-relief bar and add insulation or padding if
necessary to constrain the cable.
8.
Replace the cover.
Caution
You must install the cover before use.
9.
Connect the NI SCB-68 HSDIO to the RIO device using the appropriate cable(s) for the
device.
10. Launch Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). In the left panel, expand
Devices and Interfaces
to confirm that the DAQ device is recognized, and then configure
device settings.
Mounting the NI SCB-68 HSDIO on a DIN Rail
You can use the NI SCB-68 HSDIO on a desktop or mount it on a standard DIN rail.
The NI 9913 DIN rail mounting kit (part number 783198-01) contains one clip for mounting the
NI SCB-68 HSDIO on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Fasten the DIN rail clip to the enclosure using
the two flathead #6-32 × 1/4” screws included in the kit with a #2 Phillips screwdriver, as shown
in Figure 3.
Note
Do not use the threaded holes on the NI SCB-68 HSDIO for DIN rail
mounting more than five times. Unscrewing and reinstalling the DIN rail clip might
compromise the connection between the DIN rail clip and enclosure.
