This document explains how to install, configure, and set up the NI PXIe-4304 and

NI PXIe-4305 (NI PXIe-4304/4305) simultaneous filtered modules with the NI TB-4304

terminal block. Driver support for the NI PXIe-4304/4305 was first available in

NI-DAQmx 15.1.1. For the list of devices supported by a specific release, refer to the

NI-DAQmx Readme, available on the version-specific download page or installation media.

Note The keying of these terminal blocks prevents them from connecting to other

modules that could be damaged by the voltage present on the terminal block.

However, you should only use these terminal blocks with their supported modules.

TB-4304 hardware:

1. Your application software, such as LabVIEW, LabWindows™CVI™or .NET.

2. NI-DAQmx—NI PXIe-4304/4305 modules were first supported in NI-DAQmx 15.1.1.

Note For detailed NI software version support, refer to the NI-DAQmx Readme.

Back up any applications before upgrading software or modifying the application.

Unpack and Install the Module

Remove the packaging and inspect the module. Contact NI if the module is damaged. Do not

install a damaged module.

Caution The module is static sensitive. Always properly ground yourself and the

equipment when handling or connecting to the module.

4|ni.com |NI PXIe-4304/4305 and TB-4304 User Guide and Terminal Block Specifications

Complete the following steps to install the NI PXIe-4304/4305 module while referring to

Figures 1 and 2:

Note To maintain forced air cooling in the PXI Express system, refer to the

Maintain Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users.

1. Plug in your chassis before installing the NI PXIe-4304/4305. The power cord grounds the

chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you install the module.

2. Make sure the chassis is powered off.

Caution To protect yourself, the chassis, and the NI PXIe-4304/4305 from

electrical hazards, leave the chassis powered off until you finish installing the

NI PXIe-4304/4305 module.

3. Touch a metal part on the chassis to discharge any accumulated static electricity.

4. Identify a supported PXI Express slot in the chassis. NI PXIe-4304/4305 modules can be

placed only in PXI Express Peripheral slots, PXI Express Hybrid Peripheral slots, and

PXI Express System Timing slots. Refer to the chassis documentation for details.

Figure 1. Symbols for PXI Express/PXI Express Hybrid/PXI Slots

5. Remove the filler panel, and touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static

electricity.

6. Place the module edges into the module guides at the top and bottom of the slot.

Caution When installing the module, make sure both edges are positioned inside

the guides and that the module components do not come into contact with adjacent

modules.

7. Slide the module along the guides until it reaches the rear connector then seat the module

by pushing the front panel until it is flush with the front panel of the chassis.

8. Secure the module to the chassis using the front-panel captive screws, shown in Figure 2.

Tighten the screws to 0.31 N·m (2.7 lb · in.).

Connect the Signals

Caution For EMC compliance, operate this product with shielded cables and

accessories.

To connect signals to the terminal block, refer to Figures 3 and 4 while completing the following

steps:

Note You can find the pinout names and locations in Measurement & Automation

Explorer (MAX) at any time by right-clicking the device name under Devices and

Interfaces and selecting Device Pinouts.

1. Loosen the captive top cover screws and remove the top cover.

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

3. Prepare the shielded signal wire by stripping the insulation no more than 7 mm (0.28 in.).

4. Run the shielded signal wires through the strain-relief opening.

5. Insert the stripped end of the shielded signal wires fully into the appropriate terminal. Refer

to the label next to each screw terminal to determine the function of the terminal. The

NI PXIe-4304/4305 User Manual provides more detailed wiring information. Make sure no

exposed wire extends past the screw terminal. Exposed wire increases the risk of a short

circuit that can cause circuit failure.

Note Refer to the NI PXIe-4304/4305 User Manual for wiring diagrams showing

how to connect sensors to the TB-4304.

6. Tighten the terminal screws to a torque of 0.2 to 0.25 N · m (1.77 to 2.21 lb · in.).

Caution Any wires connected to the ground must be sufficiently insulated from

high voltage.

7. Use the ground lugs to attach a shield wire to the ground.

Note Refer to the NI PXIe-4304/4305 User Manual for details about shielding the

signals.

8. Reinstall the strain-relief bar and tighten the strain-relief screws.

9. Use tie wraps to connect the shielded signal wires to the tie-wrap holes for additional strain

relief when necessary.

10. Reinstall the top cover and tighten the captive top cover screws.
