Summary of Contents for National Instruments myRIO-1950

  • Page 1 USER GUIDE AND SPECIFICATIONS NI myRIO-1950 The National Instruments myRIO-1950 is an embedded reconfigurable I/O (RIO) device that students can use to design control, robotics, and mechatronics systems. This document contains pinouts, connectivity information, dimensions, mounting instructions, and specifications for the NI myRIO-1950.

  • Page 2: Safety Information

    Furthermore, any modifications to the product not expressly approved by National Instruments could void your authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules.

  • Page 3: Esd Warning

    Industry-standard ESD precautions must be employed at all times. The NI myRIO-1950 is designed and intended for use as a development platform for hardware or software in an educational/professional laboratory environment. To facilitate usage, the board is manufactured with its components and connecting traces openly exposed to the operator and the environment.

  • Page 4: Hardware Overview

    Hardware Overview The NI myRIO-1950 provides analog input (AI), analog output (AO), digital input and output (DIO), and power output in a compact embedded device. The NI myRIO-1950 connects to a host computer over USB. The following figure shows the arrangement and functions of NI myRIO-1950 components.

  • Page 5: Connector Pinouts

    Connector Pinouts NI myRIO-1950 Expansion Port (MXP) connectors A and B carry identical sets of signals. The signals are distinguished in software by the connector name, as in ConnectorA/DIO1 . Refer to the software documentation for information about configuring ConnectorB/DIO1 and using signals.

  • Page 6: Analog Input Channels

    Reference for digital signals, +5 V, and +3.3 V. Analog Input Channels The NI myRIO-1950 has analog input channels on myRIO Expansion Port (MXP) connectors A and B. The analog inputs are multiplexed to a single analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that samples all channels.

  • Page 7: Analog Output Channels

    Analog Output Channels The NI myRIO-1950 has analog output channels on myRIO Expansion Port (MXP) connectors A and B. Each analog output channel has a dedicated digital-to-analog converter (DAC), so they can all update simultaneously. The DACs for the analog output channels are controlled by a serial communication bus from the FPGA.

  • Page 8: Dio Lines

    Maximum Negative Reading = -2048 * 3.906 mg = -8.000 g DIO Lines The NI myRIO-1950 has 3.3 V general-purpose DIO lines on the MXP connectors. MXP connectors A and B have 16 DIO lines per connector. Each DIO line from 0 to 13 has a 40 kΩ...

  • Page 9: Uart Lines

    When the NI myRIO-1950 is in safe mode, you can communicate with it by using the UART lines on MXP connector A. You need the following items to communicate with the myRIO device over UART: •...

  • Page 10: Status Led

    Status LED The Status LED is off during normal operation. The NI myRIO-1950 runs a power-on self test (POST) when you apply power to the device. During the POST, the Power and Status LEDs turn on. When the Status LED turns off, the POST is complete. The NI myRIO-1950 indicates specific error conditions by flashing the Status LED a certain number of times every few seconds, as shown in Table 2.

  • Page 14: Understanding Ground Connections

    When connecting the NI myRIO-1950 to external devices, ensure that stray ground currents do not use the NI myRIO-1950 as a return path. Significant stray currents can cause device failure. After final assembly of your system, use a current probe to compare the current flowing out of the power connector with the current flowing into the power connector.
