USER GUIDE

SCC-AI Series Isolated Analog

Input Modules

The SCC-AI Series isolated analog input modules (SCC-AIXX) can extract

a relatively low-amplitude input signal from a high-common-mode voltage

so the E Series DAQ device can measure the input signal. They also can

amplify and filter the input signal, resulting in higher measurement

resolution and accuracy.

SCC-AIXX modules are available in a range of gains from 0.2 to 200. They

contain lowpass filters of either 10 kHz or 4 Hz bandwidth. Table 1-1 gives

the gain and bandwidth for each module.

Unpacking the Module

SCC modules are shipped in antistatic envelopes to prevent electrostatic

damage (ESD) to the modules. ESD can damage several components on

these products.

Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

To avoid damage from ESD when you handle the module, take the

following precautions:

• Ground yourself by using a grounding strap or by touching a grounded

object.

• Touch the antistatic envelope to a metal part of the computer chassis

before removing the module from the envelope.

Remove the module from the envelope and inspect the module for loose

components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if the module appears

damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged module.

Store the module in the antistatic envelope when it is not in use.

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

A blue label stripe identifies the SCC-AIXX as an analog input module.

The label also displays the icon shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. SCC-AIXX Icon

You can plug the SCC-AIXX into any analog input socket on the SC-2345.

The socket you choose determines which E Series DAQ device channels

receive the SCC-AIXX signals.

For single-stage input conditioning, plug the SCC-AIXX into any socket

J(X+1), where Xis 0 to 7, and connect the input signals to the module as

described in the Connecting the Input Signals section.

If you use the SCC-AIXX in a dual-stage configuration, the SCC-AIXX

must be the first-stage module. Plug it into any socket J(X+9) and plug the

second-stage SCC into socket J(X+1), where Xis 0 to 7. Connect the input

signals to the SCC-AIXX as described in the Connecting the Input Signals

section. The SC-2345 connects the output signals of the first-stage SCC to

the inputs of the second-stage SCC. An example of dual-stage conditioning

is an SCC-AI02 followed by an SCC-FV01 frequency input module.

Sockets J9 to J16 are also available for digital input/output (DIO)

conditioning or control. Refer to the SC-2345 User Manual for more

information on configuring, connecting, and installing SCC modules.

Connecting the Input Signals

The SCC-AIXX has a fixed screw-terminal receptacle and a removable

screw-terminal block, as shown in Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2. SCC-AIXX Two-Part Screw-Terminal System

After you install the SCC-AIXX, connect the input signals to the removable

screw-terminal block of the module.

1. Remove power from the signal lines.

2. Strip 7 mm of insulation from the ends of the signal wires.

3. Insert the wires into the screw terminals.

4. Tighten the screws to 0.5 to 0.6 N · m (4.4 to 5.3 lb - in.) of torque.

Each screw terminal is labeled by pin number <1..4>. Pins 1 and 2 form a

channel routed to E Series DAQ device channel X+8, and pins 3 and 4 form

a channel routed to the E Series DAQ device channel X, where Xis 0 to 7

depending on the socket where you plug in the module. The SCC-AIXX

provides channel-to-ground and module-to-module isolation only. It does

not provide isolation between the two channels of the SCC-AIXX. Because

both channels must have the same reference voltage, pins 1 and 3 are

connected together internally. Figure 1-3 shows the SCC-AIXX signal

connections.

Figure 1-3. SCC-AIXX Signal Connections

The inputs are designed in a floating (nonreferenced) single-ended

configuration. If the measured signals are floating, connect the negative

input pins, 1 and 3, to AISENSE on the SC-2345 terminal block through

a10kΩto 100 kΩresistor. Figure 1-4 shows a floating signal connection

on one channel of the SCC-AIXX.
