SCC-FV01 Frequency Input
Module
The SCC-FV01 frequency input module is a frequency-to-voltage
converter designed to measure signals from frequency-generating sensors
and other periodic signal sources. The DC output voltage of the module is
proportional to the input frequency.

Note Software scaling of measurements is not supported on the Macintosh operating
system. Refer to the SCC-FV01 Module Pin Assignments section for more information.
Device Specific Information
Note For general SCC module installation and signal connection information, and
information about the SC-2350 carrier, refer to the SCC Quick Start Guide, available for
download at ni.com/manuals.
Installing the Module
Caution Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference document
before removing equipment covers or connecting/disconnecting any signal wires.
You can plug the SCC-FV01 into any analog input socket on the SC-2345.
It can function as a single-stage analog input or as the second stage of a
dual-stage analog input configuration. The socket you choose determines
which E Series DAQ device channels receive the SCC-FV01 signals, as
explained in the Connecting the Input Signals section.
For single-stage input conditioning, plug the SCC-FV01 into any socket
J(X+1), where Xis 0 to 7, and connect the input-signal wires to the module
as described in theConnectingthe Input Signalssection.
Note If you use the SCC-FV01 in a dual-stage configuration, you must use it as the second
stage. Plug the first-stage module into any socket J(X+9) and plug the SCC-FV01 into
socket J(X+1), where Xis 0 to 7.
Sockets J9 to J16 are also available for digital input/output conditioning
or control. Refer to the SC-2345 User Manual for more information on
configuring, connecting, and installing SCC modules.
Connecting the Input Signals
Note The signal names have changed. Refer to ni.com/info and enter rdtntg to
confirm the signal names.
❑Each screw terminal is labeled by pin number <1..4>. The SCC-FV01
has two referenced single-ended (RSE) input channels. Pins 1 and 2
form a channel routed to E Series DAQ device channel X+8, and pins
3 and 4 form a second channel routed to E Series DAQ device channel
X. The value of Xis determined by the number of the SC-2345 socket
where you plug in the module, J(X+1) or J(X+9). Both input channels
are referenced to AI GND of the E Series DAQ device.
SCC-FV01 Frequency Input Module User Guide 4 ni.com
Note If your application requires nonreferenced inputs, consider using an SCC-AI Series
module as the first stage in a dual-stage configuration.
For information about how to configure the SCC-FV01 module using
NI-DAQmx, refer to the SCC Quick Start Guide.
Using the SCC-FV01
Scaling Voltage Measurements
If you configured the SCC-FV01 using Measurement & Automation
Explorer (MAX) and you are using NI-DAQ, the reading you get from the
E Series DAQ device is properly scaled. Otherwise, you must scale your
readings by multiplying the measured DC voltage by 10 to get the input
frequency in hertz.
Measuring Frequencies Below 5 Hz
The output ripple of the SCC-FV01 increases as the input frequency
decreases, and it is significant for frequencies below 5 Hz. To overcome the
effect of output ripple, acquire and average at least 100 samples per period
for two periods of the input frequency. This gives you more accurate
measurements of frequencies below 5 Hz with the exception of 0 Hz.
At 0 Hz there is no ripple; therefore, there is no special need to acquire
and average your data.
Calibrating Offset Errors
The SCC-FV01 module is calibrated at the factory before shipment. If you
want to adjust for any errors in your system, you need a function generator
and an oscilloscope capable of measuring the frequency you are applying.
The oscilloscope must be several times more accurate than the SCC-FV01
itself.
To adjust the SCC-FV01 module, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the function generator and oscilloscope to the input of the
specific SCC-FV01 channel you are calibrating.
2. Adjust the function generator to output the maximum frequency and
amplitude you are measuring.
3. Using your software, have the E Series DAQ device read the
SCC-FV01 channel.
4. Adjust the potentiometer on top of the SCC-FV01 module that
corresponds to the channel you are calibrating. Turn the potentiometer
until your software measures the same frequency as that measured by
the oscilloscope at the input.

Theory of Operation
Figure 2 illustrates the key functional components of the SCC-FV01.
Figure 2. SCC-FV01 Signal Connections
The SCC-FV01 has two input channels designed to measure 0 to 100 Hz
signals. The output voltage (0 to 10 VDC) varies linearly with respect to the
input frequency.
The frequency-to-voltage and analog circuitry for each channel consists of
a triggering stage, a frequency-to-voltage stage, and an output stage.
