SCC Quick Start Guide

This document explains how to install and configure National Instruments

SCC modules with NI-DAQmx. This document assumes you have already

installed, configured, and tested the data acquisition (DAQ) device you will

connect to the SC-2345/2350 carrier. SCC modules work with NI M Series,

E Series, and B Series DAQ devices. If you have not done so, follow the

instructions in the DAQ Quick Start Guide included with the DAQ device

before continuing.

Measurement System Overview

Figure 1 depicts the measurement system overview, showing the path of

real-world physical phenomena to your measurement application.

Figure 1. Measurement System Overview

Sensors and transducers detect physical phenomena. Signal conditioning

components condition physical phenomena so that the measurement device

can receive the data. The computer receives the data through the

measurement device. Software controls the measurement system, telling

the measurement device when and from which channels to acquire or

generate data. Software also takes the raw data, analyzes it, and presents it

in a form you can understand, such as a graph, chart, or file for a report.

SCC Quick Start Guide 4 ni.com

NI measurement devices and application software are packaged with

NI-DAQ driver softwareto program all the features of your

NI measurement device such as configuring, acquiring, and generating data

fromand sending datatoNImeasurement devices. Using NI-DAQsaves

you fromhaving to write these programs. Application software, such as

LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, Measurement Studio, and VI Logger,

sends commands to the driver, such as acquire and return a thermocouple

reading, and then displays and analyzes the data acquired.

You can use the NI-DAQ driver from NI application software or from any

programming environment that supports calling dynamic link libraries

(DLLs) through ANSI C interfaces. Regardless of the programming

environment, your DAQ application uses NI-DAQ, as shown in Figure 1.

If you have not installed, configured, and tested your DAQ device and

NI-DAQ software according to the instructions in the DAQ Quick Start

Guide, do so now.

Step 1. Unpack the Carrier and Modules

The SCC modules are shipped in an antistatic package to prevent

electrostatic damage (ESD) to the modules and their components.

Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

To avoid such damage, take the following precautions:

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

object.

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

before removing the module from the package.

Remove the module from the package 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 into the carrier.

Store the SCC module in the antistatic package when not in use.

For safety and compliance information, refer to the device documentation

packaged with your device, on the NI-DAQ 7.xDevice Documentation CD

in the NI-DAQ software kit, or at ni.com/support. After you install the

Device Document Browser, device documents are accessible from

Start»Programs»National Instruments»NI-DAQ»Browse Device

Documentation.

©National Instruments Corporation 5 SCC Quick Start Guide

Step 2. Verify the Components

Make sure you have the following SCC system components.

In addition, you need the following items:

❑Hardware and documentation

– 68-pin DAQ device and documentation

– 68-pin cable

– SC-2345/2350 carrier and SC-2345/2350 Carrier User Manual

– One or more SCC modules and user guide

❑Software and documentation

– NI-DAQ 7.2 or later software and documentation

– One of the following software packages for development:

•LabVIEW

• LabWindows/CVI

• Visual C++

• Visual Basic

❑Other tools

– 1/8 in. flathead screwdriver

– Numbers 1 and 2 Phillips screwdrivers

– Wire insulation strippers

To install NI-DAQmx, refer to the DAQ Quick Start Guide. To install the

SC-2345/2350 carrier, refer to the SC-2345/2350 Carrier User Manual.

These documents are available for download at ni.com/manuals.

Step 3. Cable the SC-2345/2350 Carrier to

the DAQ Device

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

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

The DAQ device should already be installed in your computer. Refer to the

DAQ Quick Start Guide for installation instructions.

Connect the SC-2345/2350 carrier to the DAQ device with a 68-pin

shielded cable. If you are using an M Series DAQ device with two

connectors, connect the cable to connector 0 or 1. Use connector J24,

shown in Figure 2, on the SC-2345/2350 carrier.

Figure 2. Connector J24 Location

The chassis ground terminal on the SC-2345/2350 carrier and the

electromagnetic interference (EMI) gasket attached to the strain relief of

the SC-2345 connector block are for grounding a floating source (1 mA

maximum). Do not use these terminals as safety earth grounds. For more

information about the SC-2345/2350 carrier, refer to the SC-2345/2350

Carrier User Manual.

Step 4. Set Up the SC-2345/SC-2350 Carrier

The following section describes how to set up common to both the SC-2345

and the SC-2350 carriers.

Procedure 1: Install the Connectors and Panelettes

If you have selected an SC carrier with configurable connectors, install the

connector and interface panelettes. Some panelettes occupy more than one

panelette slot. Table 1 lists the panelette specifications.

You can install a blank panelette into any unused panelette opening.

Complete the following steps to install the I/O panelettes:

1. Remove the blank panel before installing any I/O panelettes on the rear

of the SC-2345/2350 with configurable connectors.

2. Place the lower edge of the I/O panelette in the groove at the bottom of

the enclosure opening.

3. Tilt the panelette top back into the enclosure.

4. Secure the panelette with either one, two, or three (depending on the

type of I/O panelette) M2.5 ×6 panhead screws that are included with

the panelette.

5. Connect the lead wires from the panelette to the screw terminals of the

SCC modules or to the 42-pin screw terminal block inside the

SC-2345/2350 carrier.

Procedure 2: Apply I/O Panelette Labels

The SC-2345 with Configurable Connectors and the SC-2350 are shipped

with a sheet of labels to apply to the I/O panelettes as shown in Figure 6.

The label sheet has both printed labels and blank labels you can customize.

You can use two labels on single-width I/O panelettes and three or more

labels on wider panelettes.

Figure 6. Installing I/O Panelette Labels

Step 5. Connect the Signals

Caution Always refer to the specifications in your SCC-XX module user guide before

connecting signals. Exceeding specified module ratings can create a shock or fire hazard

and can damage any or all of the devices connected to the module.

Refer to ni.com/info and enter rdtntg in the info code field to confirm

signal names in the NI-DAQ C to NI-DAQmx Terminal Names Translation

Guide. Complete the following steps:

1. Remove power from the signal lines.

2. Strip 7 mm (0.25 in.) of insulation from the ends of the signal wires.

3. Insert the wires into the screw terminals. The SCC-XX module has a

fixed screw-terminal receptacle and a removable screw-terminal block,

as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7. SCC-XX Two-Part Screw-Terminal System

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

5. Check if the strain-relief bar is installed as shown in Figures 3, 4,

and 5. If necessary, reinstall and tighten the strain-relief screws.
