Safety Information

Caution The following paragraphs contain important safety information you must

follow when installing and operating the device.

Do not operate the device in a manner not specified in the documentation. Misuse of the

device may result in a hazard and may compromise the safety protection built into the device.

If the device is damaged, turn it off and do not use it until service-trained personnel can check

its safety. If necessary, return the device to National Instruments for repair.

Keep away from live circuits. Do not remove equipment covers or shields unless you are

trained to do so. If signal wires are connected to the device, hazardous voltages can exist even

when the equipment is turned off. To avoid a shock hazard, do not perform procedures

involving cover or shield removal unless you are qualified to do so. Disconnect all field power

prior to removing covers or shields.

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install unauthorized parts or

modify the device. Use the device only with the chassis, modules, accessories, and cables

specified in the installation instructions. All covers and filler panels must be installed while

operating the device.

This is a Pollution Degree 2 device. Do not operate the device in an explosive atmosphere or

where flammable gases or fumes may be present. Operate the device only at or below the

pollution degree stated in the specifications. Pollution consists of any foreign matter—solid,

liquid, or gas—that may reduce dielectric strength or surface resistivity. The following is a

description of pollution degrees.

• Pollution Degree 1—No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. The

pollution has no effect.

• Pollution Degree 2—Normally only nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally,

nonconductive pollution becomes conductive because of condensation.

• Pollution Degree 3—Conductive pollution or dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.

Nonconductive pollution becomes conductive because of condensation.

Clean the device and accessories by brushing off light dust with a soft, nonmetallic brush.

Remove other contaminants with a stiff, nonmetallic brush. The unit must be completely dry

and free from contaminants before returning it to service.

You must insulate signal connections for the maximum voltage for which the device is rated.

Do not exceed the maximum ratings for the device. Remove power from signal lines before

connection to or disconnection from the device.

Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines

This product was tested and complies with the regulatory requirements and limits for

electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) stated in the product specifications. These requirements

and limits provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the product is

operated in the intended operational electromagnetic environment.

This product is intended for use in industrial locations. However, harmful interference may

occur in some installations, when the product is connected to a peripheral device or test object,

or if the product is used in residential or commercial areas. To minimize interference with

radio and television reception and prevent unacceptable performance degradation, install and

use this product in strict accordance with the instructions in the product documentation.

Furthermore, any changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved by National

Instruments could void your authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules.

6. Run the NI Industrial Controller Device Drivers installer.

Troubleshooting

The following sections provide instructions for troubleshooting the IC-3121.

IC-3121 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 9

(RT Only) The IC-3121 Does Not Appear in MAX

• The IC-3121 may not be powered. Verify that there is system power to the device and that

both the IC-3121 and the development computer are properly connected to the network.

The PWR/FAULT LED should be lit green and the ACTIVITY/LINK LED on the

primary network port should flash green when refreshing the list of devices in MAX.

• Ensure you are connecting to the IC-3121 from a Windows development machine with NI

Industrial Controller Device Drivers installed.

• The IC-3121 may have been configured on another network and then moved to the

current network. Reconfigure the IC-3121 for the current network.

Note Connect a monitor and keyboard to the IC-3121 and press <Enter> to

view the current configuration settings of the device.

• Another device on the network is using the IP address assigned to the IC-3121. This can

happen when you assign the same static IP to two devices, you assign a static IP that is in

the range of the IP address available for DHCP use on your network, or the DHCP

assigns the same IP address to another device. Either remove or reconfigure the other

device, or reconfigure the IC-3121 to use a different IP address by putting it into the IP

RESET state and restarting into the normal state. Refer to the IC-3121 User Manual on

ni.com/manuals for instructions on how to perform an IP RESET.

• The cable you are using may be inappropriate for the speed of your network, causing

network communication dropout. While 1,000 Mbps communication over short cable

lengths can be achieved with the CAT5 cable commonly used for 10 and 100 Mbps,

CAT5e and CAT6 cables are more reliable and recommended for 1,000 Mbps links. The

IC-3121 has the ability to perform auto-crossover, allowing the use of straight or

crossover Ethernet cables, independent of the connection configuration.

• The IC-3121 is configured to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server, but no DHCP

server is available. By default, the target will automatically attempt to connect to the

network using DHCP. If the target is unable to initiate a DHCP connection, the target

connects to the network with a link-local IP address (169.254.x.x).

• You may be experiencing firewall issues. If you are having difficulty detecting the system

and setting up the IC-3121 on your network, you must configure the firewall to open the

TCP/UDP ports used by the IC-3121 and the host machine. Refer to the following table

for more information about TCP/UDP ports.

Table 1. TCP/UDP Ports Used by the IC-3121

Port Type Details

3580 TCP/UDP Reserved as nati-svrloc (NATI-ServiceLocator). Used by MAX to locate

remote targets.

7749 TCP Used for remote image display (not reserved).

7750 TCP Used for NI-IMAQdx remote configuration (not reserved).

3363 TCP/UDP Reserved as nati-vi-server (NATI VI Server). Used by Vision Builder AI

to configure a remote target.
