Connecting the sbRIO Device to a Network  
Use a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better Ethernet cable to connect the  
RJ-45 Ethernet port to an Ethernet network.  
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 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 device over a standard Ethernet  
connection. If the host computer is on a network, you must configure  
the device on the same subnet as the host computer. If neither the host  
computer nor the device is connected to a network, you can connect the  
two directly using a crossover cable.  
If you want to use the device on a subnet other than the one the host  
computer is on, first connect the device 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. Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for more  
information about configuring the device in Measurement & Automation  
Explorer (MAX).  
NI sbRIO-960x

Powering the sbRIO Device  
The sbRIO device requires a power supply connected to J3. The supply  
voltage and current must meet the specifications in the Power  
Requirements section of this document, but the actual power requirement  
depends on how the device is physically configured, programmed, and  
used. To determine the power requirement of your application, you must  
measure the power consumption during execution, and add 20% to your  
estimates to account for transient and startup conditions.  
Note Select a high-quality power supply with less than 20 mV ripple. The sbRIO device  
has some internal power-supply filtering on the positive side, but a low-quality power  
supply can inject noise into the ground path, which is unfiltered.  
Four elements of the sbRIO device can require power: sbRIO internal  
operation; 3.3 V DIO; 5 V output; and board-only C Series modules  
installed on the device. Refer to the Power Requirements section for  
formulas and examples for calculating power requirements for different  
configurations and application types.  
Complete the following steps to connect a power supply to the device.  
1. Remove the MINI-COMBICON plug from connector J3 of the  
sbRIO-960x. Refer to Figure 4 for the location of J3.  
2. Connect the positive lead of the power supply to the V terminal of  
the MINI-COMBICON plug.  
3. Connect the negative lead of the power supply to the C terminal of  
the MINI-COMBICON plug.  
4. Re-install the MINI-COMBICON connector in connector J3.  
When you apply power to the sbRIO-960x, the device 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 system powers on, refer to the  
Understanding LED Indications section.  
You can configure the device to launch an embedded stand-alone  
LabVIEW RT application each time it is booted. Refer to the Running a  
Stand-Alone Real-Time Application (RT Module) topic of the LabVIEW  
Help for more information.

Behavior  
Does not load the FPGA bit stream from flash memory.  
Autoload VI on Device Power-Up Loads the FPGA bit stream from flash memory to the FPGA  
when the device powers on.  
Autoload VI on Device Reboot  
Loads the FPGA bit stream from flash to the FPGA when you  
reboot the device either with or without cycling power.  
Note If you want a VI to run when loaded to the FPGA, complete the following steps.  
1. Right-click the FPGA Target item in the Project Explorer window in  
LabVIEW.  
2. Select Properties.  
3. In the General category of the FPGA Target Properties dialog box,  
place a check in the Run when loaded to FPGA checkbox.  
4. Compile the FPGA VI.  
Connecting Serial Devices to the sbRIO Device  
The sbRIO-960x 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 from a LabVIEW RT application. For more  
information about using the Serial VIs, refer to the Serial VIs and  
Functions topic of the LabVIEW Help.  
Using the Internal Real-Time Clock  
The system clock of the sbRIO device gets the date and time from the  
internal real-time clock at startup. This synchronization provides  
timestamp data to the device.

Figure 10. DIP Switches  
All of the DIP switches are in the OFF (up) position when the sbRIO device  
is shipped from National Instruments.  
SAFE MODE Switch  
The position of the SAFE MODE switch determines whether the embedded  
LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches at startup. 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  
at startup, the sbRIO device launches only the essential services required  
for updating its configuration and installing software. The LabVIEW  
Real-Time engine does not launch.  
Push the SAFE MODE switch to the ON position if the software on the  
sbRIO device is corrupted. Even if the switch is not in the ON position, if  
there is no software installed on the device, the device automatically boots  
into safe mode. The SAFE MODE switch must be in the ON position to  
reformat the drive on the device. Refer to the Measurement & Automation  
Explorer Help for more about installing software and reformatting the  
drive.  
CONSOLE OUT Switch  
With a serial-port terminal program, you can use the serial port to read the  
IP address and firmware version of the sbRIO device. Use a null-modem  
cable to connect the serial port on the device to a computer. Push the  
CONSOLE OUT 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  
© National Instruments Corporation  
15  
NI sbRIO-960x  
 
 
One stop bit  
No flow control  
Keep this switch in the OFF position during normal operation. If  
CONSOLE OUT is enabled, LabVIEW RT cannot communicate with the  
serial port.  
NO APP Switch  
Push the IP RESET switch to the ON position and reboot the sbRIO device  
to reset the IP address to 0.0.0.0. If the device is on your local subnet and  
the IP RESET switch is in the ON position, the device appears in MAX  
with IP address 0.0.0.0. You can configure a new IP address for the  
device in MAX. Refer to the Resetting the Network Configuration of the  
sbRIO Device section for more information about resetting the IP address.  
Push the NO APP switch to the ON position to prevent a LabVIEW RT  
startup application from running at startup. If you want to permanently  
disable a LabVIEW RT application from running at startup, you must  
disable it in LabVIEW. To run an application at startup, push the NO APP  
switch to the OFF position, create an application using the LabVIEW  
Application Builder, and configure the application in LabVIEW to launch  
at startup. For more information about automatically launching VIs at  
startup and disabling VIs from launching at startup, refer to the Running a  
Stand-Alone Real-Time Application (RT Module) topic of the LabVIEW  
Help.  
USER1 Switch  
You can define the USER1 switch for your application. To define the  
purpose of this switch in your embedded application, use the RT Read  
Switch VI in your LabVIEW RT embedded VI. For more information  
about the RT Read Switch VI, refer to the LabVIEW Help.  
NO FPGA Switch  
Push the NO FPGA switch to the ON position to prevent a LabVIEW  
FPGA application from loading at startup. The NO FPGA switch overrides  
the options described in the Boot Options section. After startup you can  
download bit files to flash memory from a LabVIEW project regardless of  
switch position. If you already have an application configured to launch at  
startup and you push the NO FPGA switch from ON to OFF, the startup  
application is automatically enabled.

The device may be configured for DHCP but unable to get an IP address  
because of a problem with the DHCP server. Check the network  
connection and try again. If the problem persists, contact National  
Instruments.  
Resetting the Network Configuration  
of the sbRIO Device  
If the sbRIO device is not able to communicate with the network, you can  
use the IP RESET switch to manually restore the device to the factory  
network settings. When you restore the device to the factory network  
settings, the IP address, subnet mask, DNS address, gateway, and Time  
Server IP are set to 0.0.0.0. Power-on defaults, watchdog settings, and  
VIs are unaffected.  
Complete the following steps to restore the device to the factory network  
settings.  
1. Move the IP RESET DIP switch to the ON position.  
2. Press the Reset button.  
3. Move the IP RESET switch to the OFF position.  
NI sbRIO-960x

The network settings are restored. You can reconfigure the settings in MAX  
from a computer on the same subnet. Refer to the Measurement &  
Automation Explorer Help for more information about configuring the  
device.  
Note If the device is restored to the factory network settings, the LabVIEW run-time  
engine does not load. You must reconfigure the network settings and reboot the device for  
the LabVIEW run-time engine to load.  
Integrated 3.3 V Digital I/O  
The four 40-pin IDC headers, P2–P5, provide connections for

I/O Protection  
The 33 Ω current-limiting posistor, R1, and the protection diodes, D1 and  
D2, protect each DIO channel against externally applied voltages of 20 V  
and ESD events. The combination of R1 and D1 protects against  
overvoltage, and the combination of R1 and D2 protects against  
undervoltage. The resistance of R1 increases rapidly with temperature.  
© National Instruments Corporation  
19  
NI sbRIO-960x  
 
During overvoltage conditions, high current flows through R1 and into the  
protection diodes. High current causes internal heating in the posistor,  
which increases the resistance and limits the current. Refer to the  
Specifications section for current-limiting and resistance values.  
Drive Strength  
Signal Integrity  
The sbRIO devices were tested with all 110 DIO channels driving 3 mA  
DC loads, for a total of 330 mA sourcing from the FPGA. The FPGA uses  
minimum 8 mA drivers, but the devices are not characterized for loads  
higher than 3 mA.  
The sbRIO boards were designed with 60 Ω characteristic trace impedance.  
The characteristic impedance of most IDC ribbon cables is 110 Ω, which is  
grossly mismatched from the board. However, headers P2–P5 were  
designed such that the signals are interwoven with ground  
(signal/ground/signal/ground, etc.), which greatly improves the signal  
integrity. This is sufficient for most applications  
For the best possible signal integrity, use 3Mribbon cable #3353, which  
has a characteristic impedance of 65 Ω. This cable has a ground plane that  
connects to the ground plane of the board at pin 1 and pin 50. The internal  
ground plane of this cable also reduces noise and radiated emissions.  
Using +5 V Power from 3.3 V DIO Headers P2–P5  
Each of the four DIO headers has two pins to provide +5 V power for  
external applications. This +5 V outputs are referenced to DGND on the  
headers and are connected directly to the internal 5 V power plane of the  
sbRIO device. The +5 V source has current limiting and overvoltage  
clamps. Nevertheless, sudden current steps and noisy loads can inject  
high-frequency transients into the power planes of the device. Such  
transients can cause intermittent failures in the digital timing and lead to  
unexpected behavior. Add filters and/or additional current limiting  
between the external load and the +5 V output if the external load is not a  
quiet, slowly ramping DC load. An LC filter of 6.8 μH and 100 μF per  
200 mA load should be sufficient, but the OEM user is responsible for final  
requirements and testing.  
The sbRIO power supply is designed for a total of 2 A external load at 5 V.  
This total includes 200 mA per installed C Series module. For example, if  
three C Series modules are installed, only 2 A – (3 × 0.2) = 1.4 A is  
available for use on headers P2–P5. Each pin on the headers is rated for 2 A,  
but a typical 28 AWG ribbon cable is rated for only 225 mA per conductor.

The OEM user is responsible for determining cabling requirements and  
ensuring that current limits are not exceeded.

Power Requirements  
The sbRIO device requires a power supply connected to connector J3.  
Refer to Figure 4 for the location of J3. Refer to the Powering the sbRIO  
Device section for information about connecting the power supply.  
Power supply voltage range....................19–30 VDC1  
Power supply current limit .....................1.8 A  
Power connector internal fuse ................2 A non-replaceable  
Total power requirement = Pint + PDIO + P5V + PCSer  
,
where  
Pint is the consumption by sbRIO internal operation  
PDIO is the consumption by the 3.3 V DIO  
P5V is the consumption by the 5 V voltage output  
PCSer is the consumption by installed board-only C Series  
modules.  
Note You must add 20% to the calculated or measured total power requirement to account  
for transient and startup conditions.  
Maximum Pint .........................................6.0 W  
Maximum PDIO .......................................1.28 W  
PDIO = Total DIO Current × 3.3 V/0.85  
Maximum P5V .........................................11.1 W  
P5V = Total 5 V Output Current × 5 V/0.9  
Maximum PCSer.......................................3.3 W; each installed C Series  
module consumes up to 1.1 W

Example power requirement calculations  
For an sbRIO-9602 with three installed board-only C Series modules,  
20 mA total current through 3.3 V DIO pins, and 1 A of current through  
5 V output, calculate the total power requirement as follows:  
Pint = 6.0 W  
PCSer = 3.30 W  
PDIO = 0.08 W  
P5V = 5.55 W  
Adding 20% for transient conditions, 14.93 W × 1.2 = 17.92 W  
Total power requirement = 17.92 W  
For an sbRIO-9601 with one installed board-only C Series module,  
330 mA total current through 3.3 V DIO pins, and no 5 V output used,  
calculate the total power requirement as follows:  
Pint = 6.0 W  
PCSer = 1.10 W  
PDIO = 1.28 W  
P5V = 0.00 W  
Adding 20% for transient conditions, 8.38 W × 1.2 = 10.06 W  
Total power requirement = 10.06 W
