Connecting the Controller to a Network

Connect the controller to an Ethernet network using the RJ-45 Ethernet port

on the controller front panel. Use a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better

Ethernet cable to connect the controller to an Ethernet hub, or use an

Ethernet crossover cable to connect the controller directly to a computer.

Caution To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation,

do not use a cable longer than 100 m. If you are using 100 Mbps Ethernet, National

Instruments recommends using a CAT-5 or better shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable.

If you need to build your own cable, refer to the Cabling section for more

information about Ethernet cable wiring connections.

The host computer communicates with the controller over a standard

Ethernet connection. If the host computer is on a network, you must

configure the controller on the same subnet as the host computer. If neither

the host computer nor the CompactRIO controller is connected to a

network, you can connect the two directly using a crossover cable.

If you want to use the controller on a subnet other than the one the host

computer is on, first connect the controller on the same subnet as the host

computer. Use DHCP to assign an IP address or reassign a static IP address

for the subnet where you want it to be and physically move it to the other

subnet. The first time you configure the controller, you must also install

software on it. Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help

for more information about configuring the controller in Measurement &

Automation Explorer (MAX). Contact your network administrator if you

need assistance configuring the host computer and controller on the same

subnet.

Wiring Power to the Controller

Caution You must install the controller on a CompactRIO chassis and tighten the captive

screws before you apply power to the controller. Installing the controller while power is

applied to it can cause damage to the chassis.

The controller requires an external power supply that meets the

specifications in the Power Requirements section. The controller filters and

regulates the supplied power and provides power for all of the I/O modules

in the chassis. You must connect a power supply to at least one pair of

V and C terminals. Optionally, you can connect a power supply to the

other pair of V and C terminals. The controller draws power from the

power supply with the higher voltage. The controller has one layer of

reverse-voltage protection. Complete the following steps to connect power

supplies to the controller.

1. Connect the positive lead of the power supply to the V1 or V2 terminal

of the COMBICON power connector shipped with the controller, and

tighten the terminal screw. Figure 4 shows the terminal screws, which

secure the wires in the screw terminals, and the connector screws,

which secure the power connector on the controller.

Figure 4. COMBICON Power Connector

2. Connect the negative lead of the power supply to one of the C terminals

of the power connector and tighten the terminal screw.

3. Optionally, you can connect the positive lead of another power supply

to the other V terminal and the negative lead to one of the C terminals.

You must install the ferrite across both pairs of wires.

4. Install the power connector on the front panel of the controller and

tighten the connector screws.

Note The controller draws power from either V1 or V2 depending on which terminal has

a higher voltage. It does not draw power from both terminals. The controller switches

between V1 and V2 without affecting operation.

Caution The C terminals are internally connected to each other. If you use two power

supplies, make sure that they share a common ground.

Caution The C terminals are internally connected to the controller chassis to prevent a

faulty ground connection from causing the chassis ground to float. If you reverse the input

voltage, the positive input voltage is connected directly to the chassis. The controller

has built-in reversed-voltage protection, but reversed voltage can damage connected

peripherals if the chassis ground is not reliably connected to earth ground.

Caution Do not tighten or loosen the terminal screws on the power connector while the

power connector is plugged into the controller or while the power supply is on.

Powering On the Controller

Plug in each power supply to the CompactRIO system. The controller runs

a power-on self test (POST). During the POST, the Power and Status LEDs

turn on. The Status LED turns off, indicating that the POST is complete. If

the LEDs do not behave in this way when the controller powers on, refer to

the Understanding LED Indications section.

You can configure the controller to launch an embedded stand-alone

application each time you boot the controller. Refer to the LabVIEW Help

for more information.

Connecting Serial Devices to the Controller

The controller has an RS-232 serial port to which you can connect devices

such as displays or input devices. Use the Serial VIs to read from and write

to the serial port. For more information about the Serial VIs, refer to the

LabVIEW Help.

Using the Internal Real-Time Clock

The system clock of the cRIO-9012/9014 is synchronized with the internal

high-precision real-time clock at startup. This synchronization provides

timestamp data to the controller. You can also use the internal real-time

clock to correct drift of the system clock. Refer to the Specifications section

for the accuracy specifications of the real-time clock.

Using the SMB Connector for Digital I/O

You can use the SMB connector of the cRIO-9012/9014 to connect digital

devices to the controller. For example, if you connect the pulse-per-second

output of a GPS device to the SMB connector of the cRIO-9012/9014, you

can use the GPS device to correct for drift of the system clock.

For software that supports GPS drift-correction and other digital I/O

through the SMB connector, go to ni.com/info and enter the Info Code

criosmb.

Connecting USB Mass-Storage Devices to the Controller

The cRIO-9012/9014 supports common USB mass-storage devices such as

USB Flash drives and USB-to-IDE adapters formatted with FAT16 and

FAT32 file systems. You can connect USB mass-storage devices to the

cRIO-9012/9014 while the controller is operating. USB devices are

mapped to the U: drive in LabVIEW. The cRIO-9012/9014 does not

support other types of USB devices. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for more

information.

SAFE MODE Switch

The position of the SAFE MODE switch determines whether the embedded

LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches when the controller boots. If the

switch is in the OFF position, the LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches.

Keep this switch in the OFF position during normal operation. If the switch

is in the ON position when the controller boots, the controller launches only

the essential services required for updating its configuration and installing

software. The LabVIEW Real-Time engine does not launch.

If the software on the controller is corrupted, you must put the controller

into safe mode and reformat the controller drive. You can put the controller

into safe mode by powering it up either with the SAFE MODE switch in

the ON position or with no software installed on the drive. Refer to the

Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for more information about

installing software on a controller and reformatting the drive on the

controller.

CONSOLE OUT Switch

With a serial-port terminal program, you can use the CONSOLE OUT

switch to read the IP address and firmware version of the controller. Use a

null-modem cable to connect the serial port on the controller to a computer.

Push the switch to the ON position. Make sure that the serial-port terminal

program is configured to the following settings:

• 9,600 bits per second

• Eight data bits

• No parity

• One stop bit

• No flow control

The serial-port terminal program displays the IP address and firmware

version of the controller, and alerts you when you connect an unsupported

USB device to the controller. Keep this switch in the OFF position during

normal operation.

IP RESET Switch

Push the IP RESET switch to the ON position and reboot the controller to

reset the IP address of the controller to 0.0.0.0. If the controller is on your

local subnet and the IP RESET switch is in the ON position, the controller

appears in MAX with IP address 0.0.0.0. You can configure a new

IP address for the controller in MAX. Refer to the Resetting the Network

Configuration of the Controller section for more information about

resetting the IP address. You also can push this switch to the ON position

to unlock a controller that was previously locked in MAX.
