M12 connectors must be mated to cables or have caps installed on them to meet IP65/IP67 requirements. Cover the unused connectors with the included plastic caps whenever water, dust, or dirt are present. 10 | ni.com | FD-11613 User Guide...
FD-11613 Basic Information. The FD-11613 has a maximum device power consumption of 4.9 W. Each FieldDAQ filters and regulates the supplied power for its tasks. When FieldDAQ devices are linked together through the power IN and power OUT connectors, the total current consumption of the chain equals the sum of every linked FieldDAQ device’s current consumption.
Refer to the FD-11613 Specifications for information about the power connectors, power requirements, and current limits of your FieldDAQ device. Cap the power connectors when not in use. Power Connectors The following figure shows the pinout of the Power IN connector.
Refer to Power Requirements in the FD-11613 Specifications for information about the power supply input range. Refer to Safety Voltages in the FD-11613 Specifications for information about the maximum voltage from terminal to chassis ground.

Filter, Differential Amplifier, and ADC—Each channel simultaneously passes through a filtered, differential amplifier before being sampled by a 24-bit ADC. The FieldDAQ device provides overvoltage protection for each channel; refer to the FD-11613 Specifications for more information about overvoltage protection.
Connector Protection Boot (Qty 8) (NI part number 786394-01) on the mini-TC plugs. Make sure that devices you connect to the FD-11613 are compatible with the device specifications. Refer to your thermocouple documentation or the thermocouple wire spool to determine which wire is the positive lead and which wire is the negative lead.
Temperature that you are measuring • Resistance of the thermocouple wires • Cold-junction temperature For the best accuracy performance, set up the FD-11613 according to Setting up the FieldDAQ Device Thermocouple Connection Guidelines to minimize thermal gradients across the terminals.
Sample Clock rate can run faster than the maximum rate for the device. When operating at a rate faster than the it can support, the FD-11613 returns the same point repeatedly, until a new conversion completes. In a hardware-timed task, the first point is acquired when the task is committed.
