SCXI -1321 OFFSET-NULL AND

SHUNT-CALIBRATION HIGH-VOLTAGE

TERMINAL BLOCK INSTALLATION GUIDE

This guide describes how to install and use the SCXI-1321 offset-null

and shunt-calibration terminal block with the SCXI-1121 module. You can

only use the SCXI-1321 terminal block with SCXI-1121 revision C or later

modules. In addition to the 18 screw terminals, the SCXI-1321 has circuitry

for offset-null adjustment of Wheatstone bridges, and a socketed shunt

resistor for strain-gauge shunt calibration. This terminal block was

primarily designed for Wheatstone bridge transducers such as strain

gauges, although it can easily accommodate thermocouples, RTDs,

thermistors, millivolt sources, volt sources, and current-loop receivers.

Thermocouples have cold-junction compensation (CJC) support.

Connecting the Signals

Note Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference document

before removing equipment covers, or connecting or disconnecting any signal wires.

To connect the signal to the terminal block, complete the following steps,

referring to Figure 1 as necessary:

1. Unscrew the top-cover screws and remove the cover.

2. Loosen the strain-relief screws and remove the strain-relief bar.

3. Enable or bypass each of the nulling circuits, depending on the signal

you are measuring.

Note Disable the offset-nulling circuitry when you are not using a Wheatstone bridge or

when the excitation channel of the SCXI-1121 is in current mode.

4. Run the signal wires through the strain-relief opening. You can add

insulation or padding if necessary.

5. Prepare the signal wire by stripping the insulation no more than 7 mm

(0.28 in.).

6. Connect the wires to the screw terminals by inserting the stripped end

of the wire fully into the terminal. No bare wire should extend past the

screw terminal. Exposed wire increases the risk of a short circuit and a

hardware failure.

7. Tighten the screws to a torque of 0.57 to 0.79 newton-m (5 to 7 lb-in.).

8. Connect safety earth ground to the safety-ground lug. Refer to the

Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference document

for connection information.

9. Reinstall the strain-relief bar, and tighten the strain-relief screws.

10. Reinstall the top cover, and tighten the top-cover screws.

11. Connect the terminal block to the module front connector as explained

in the Installing the Terminal Block section.

Installing the Terminal Block

To connect the terminal block to the SCXI module front connector,

complete the following steps:

1. Connect the module front connector to its connector on the terminal

block.

2. Make sure that the module top and bottom thumbscrews do not

obstruct the rear panel of the terminal block.

3. Tighten the top and bottom screws on the back of the terminal block to

hold it securely in place.

4. Refer to the Performed or Supported Signal Conditioning section for

information on specific signal conditioning.

Performed or Supported Signal Conditioning

This section provides information on types of signal conditioning

performed by the SCXI-1321 or is supported by it.

Offset Nulling

Offset nulling is a hardware nulling procedure used with

Wheatstone-bridge transducers that have an initial offset error. Correcting

this error improves measurement accuracy. The nulling circuitry operates

with quarter-bridge, half-bridge, and full-bridge strain-gauge

configurations. Each channel has its own nulling circuitry and its own

trimming potentiometer as listed in Table 1.

To null the static offset voltage of the bridge, complete the following steps:

1. Connect the bridge configuration to the selected channel.

2. Select and read the channel output.

3. While monitoring the output, rotate the trimmer wiper with a flathead

screwdriver until you reach 0 V.

You have nulled the bridge and are ready for a measurement.

The nulling range that is provided with the terminal block is ±2.5 mV,

assuming that you have a 120 Ωstrain gauge quarter-bridge configuration

and 3.3 V excitation voltage. You can change this range by replacing the

nulling resistor with a resistor of another value. Each channel has an

independent socketed nulling resistor. Therefore, you can mix the ranges to

accommodate each channel requirement. Table 2 lists the nulling resistors

and their corresponding channels.

The factory default value of all the nulling resistors on the terminal block

is 39 kΩ.

Note These resistors are socketed for easy replacement. These sockets best fit a 1/4 W

resistor lead size.

To determine the nulling range, use the following formula while referring

to Figures 3 through 5:

where

Vexc is the excitation voltage (3.3 V or 10 V)

Rdis either a completion resistor or a second strain-gauge nominal

resistance

Rnull is the nulling resistor value

(range of trim potentiometer + nulling resistor)

Rgis the nominal strain-gauge resistance value

For example,

Vnulling range = ±2.56 mV

Vexc = 3.3 V

Rd= 120 Ω

Rnull = 39 kΩ

Rg= 120 Ω

Assuming a strain-gauge range with a gauge factor of GF = 2 and a
