INSTALLATION GUIDE

BNC-2110 DESKTOP AND DIN RAIL-MOUNTABLE

BNC ADAPTER

This installation guide describes how to install and configure your

BNC-2110 accessory.

Introduction

The BNC-2110 is a desktop and DIN rail-mountable BNC adapter you

can connect directly to data acquisition (DAQ) devices. The BNC-2110

includes 15 BNC connectors and a digital screw terminal with 30 pins.

The BNC-2110 has a 68-pin I/O connector that connects to the PCI-60XXE

and PCI-61XXE DAQ devices. The BNC-2110 is ideal for simplifying

connections between your measurement apparatus and your DAQ device

in laboratory, test, and production environments.

Table 1 describes the BNC connectors available on the front panel of your

BNC-2110.

Connecting Analog Inputs

You can use the BNC-2110 to measure floating and ground-referenced

analog input signals. To measure floating signal sources, move switches

ACH0 through ACH7, located below the BNC connectors, to the floating

source switch position (labeled FS). In the floating source switch position,

the amplifier negative terminal is connected to ground via a 100 Ωresistor.

Table 2 shows the BNC-2110 switch configuration options.

To measure ground-referenced signals, move the switches to either

the floating or ground-referenced source position. However, for best

performance, use the ground-referenced source position (labeled GS) to

avoid ground loops. Refer to your DAQ device user manual for more

information on measuring floating and ground-referenced signals.

Connecting Analog Outputs

The BNC-2110 connects to the analog output channels on the PCI-60XXE

and PCI-61XXE devices with the DAC0OUT and DAC1OUT BNC

connectors.

Connecting Digital I/O Signals

Use both the screw terminal plugs and the BNC connectors to connect

your digital signals to your DAQ device. Refer to Table 4 to make these

connections. When connecting signals to the screw terminal plugs, you

can use up to 24 AWG wire with the insulation stripped to 0.28 in. Refer

to Tables 1 and 3 for the signal names of all the labeled connectors.

Two user-defined BNC connectors, USER1 and USER2, are connected

to the screw terminal blocks on the BNC-2110 front panel. These screw

terminals and their associated BNC connectors give you the flexibility

to choose up to two additional digital/timing signals. For example, if an

application requires access to SCANCLK and CTR1OUT signals, you can

wire the screw terminals labeled SCANCLK and CTR1OUT to the screw

terminals labeled USER1 and USER2, respectively. This configures BNC

connector USER1 as SCANCLK and USER2 as CTR1OUT.

All of the digital and timing signals from the PCI-60XXE and PCI-61XXE

devices are available on the front panel of the BNC-2110. Refer to your

DAQ device user manual for information on using these signals.

Table 3 describes the digital screw terminals available on the front panel of

your BNC-2110.

device.

SCANCLK Scan Clock—This pin pulses once for each

A/D conversion when enabled. The

low-to-high edge indicates when the input

signal can be removed from the input or

switched to another signal.

EXSTRB* ExternalStrobe—This output canbe toggled

under software control to latch signals or

trigger events on external devices.

AISENSE Analog Input Sense—This pin serves as the

reference node for channels ACH<0..15> in

NRSE configurations.

Cabling

The BNC-2110 has one 68-position connector on the rear panel to connect

to your DAQ device. Refer to Table 5 to make this connection.

Caution Do not connect the BNC-2110 to any device other than the National Instruments

PCI-60XXE or PCI-61XXE devices. Doing so can damage the BNC-2110, the

DAQ device, or host computer. National Instruments is NOT liable for damages

resulting from these connections.

Installing Your BNC-2110

Refer to Figure 2 as you perform the following steps to connect your

BNC-2110 to your DAQ device. Consult your computer user manual or

technical reference manual for specific instructions and warnings.

Note You can either place the BNC-2110 on a workbench near the host computer or use

the available DIN rail-mount kit.

1. Make sure that switches ACH 0 through ACH 7 are set correctly for

your application.

2. Connect the BNC-2110 to your DAQ device. Refer to Table 5 to make

sure that you have the proper cable for the DAQ device that you are

using.

3. Connect the field signals to the BNC connectors and/or digital screw

terminal plugs. Refer to the Configuring Your BNC-2110 section

earlier in this guide for more information.

When you have finished using your BNC-2110, turn off any powered

external signals connected to your BNC-2110 before you turn off your

computer.

Warning The BNC-2110 is not designed for input voltages greater than 42 V, even if a

user-installed voltage divider reduces the voltage to within the input range of the

DAQ device. Input voltages greater than 42 V can damage the BNC-2110, any

device connected to it, and the host computer. Overvoltage can also cause an

electric shock hazard for the operator. National Instruments is NOT liable for

damage or injury resulting from such misuse.
