All external power supplies should have their connected to a system ground external to the NI sbRIO device. Do not use the NI sbRIO device as the common system grounding point. Significant currents traversing through the NI sbRIO grounds can result in digital component failures. If more than 3 A flows through the common (–) pin on the J3 power connector,...

20% to your estimates to account for transient and startup conditions. Select a high-quality power supply with less than 20 mV ripple. The NI sbRIO Note 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.
Re-install the MINI-COMBICON connector in connector J3. Powering On the NI sbRIO Device The NI sbRIO device runs a power-on self test (POST) when you apply power to the device. During the POST, the Power and Status LEDs turn on.
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 NI sbRIO device gets the date and time from the internal real-time clock at startup. This synchronization provides timestamp data to the device.

Drive Strength The NI sbRIO devices are 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.
200 mA load should be sufficient, but the OEM user is responsible for final requirements and testing. The NI sbRIO power supply has 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 –...
