FD-11601 Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information Safety Guidelines Caution Do not operate the FD-11601 in a manner not specified in this user guide. Product misuse can result in a hazard. You can compromise the safety protection 4 | ni.com | FD-11601 User Guide...
NI for repair. The FD-11601 is rated for use in DRY or WET LOCATIONS. Hazardous voltages may not be connected to the device. A hazardous voltage is a voltage greater than 42.4 V peak voltage or 60 V DC in DRY LOCATIONS, and 22.6 V peak or 35 V DC in WET LOCATIONS.
Unpacking The FD-11601 ships in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can damage several components on the device. Notice Never touch the exposed pins of connectors. To avoid ESD damage in handling the device, take the following precautions: •...

FD-11601 Basic Information. The FD-11601 has a maximum device power consumption of 16.0 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 Safety Voltages in the FD-11601 Specifications for information about the maximum voltage from terminal to chassis ground. Voltage Input Connectors and Measurements The following figures show the voltage input circuitry and block diagram of the FD-11601. Figure 8. FD-11601 Input Circuitry Overvoltage Protection AI–...
Specifications for more information about overvoltage protection. Voltage Input Connectors The FD-11601 features eight 5-pin A-coded M12 connectors: Bank 1 connectors 0 through 3 and Bank 2 connectors 0 through 3. The following figure shows the pinout of a voltage input connector.
Each voltage input connector has an LED. Table 6. LED State/Status LED Color and State Connector Status Normal operation, sensor power output disabled, or sensor not present. Green, solid Sensor power output enabled and sensor connected. 16 | ni.com | FD-11601 User Guide...
The FieldDAQ device goes into a current limited voltage fold-back mode to protect the sensor power excitation supply from short circuits or higher current than those listed in the FD-11601 Specifications. In this mode, the output voltage folds back to a lower value than the set voltage, the overcurrent status is set in NI-DAQmx, and the voltage input LED lights red.

Reducing measurement Control applications noise Refer to the FD-11601 Specifications for details on the amount of variation in the response you can expect for different input frequency ranges. Frequency Response of FieldDAQ Filters The FieldDAQ device uses a combination of analog and digital filtering to provide an accurate representation of in-band signals and reject out-of-band signals.

It is common to use the comb filter with a specific sample rate to align the notches of the transition band thereby removing a specific noise-source frequency from measurements. 22 | ni.com | FD-11601 User Guide...
Undershoot Comb Time Refer to the FD-11601 Specifications for details on the amount of variation in the response you can expect for different input frequency ranges. Data Rates You can use the 13.1072 MHz, 12.8 MHz, 12.288 MHz, and 10.24 MHz timebases to generate the measurement signals.
Network-synchronized devices can also take advantage of time-based synchronization features in NI-DAQmx. Certain triggers can be specified in terms of time of day. Time-based triggers and multidevice tasks (spanning multiple network-synchronized FieldDAQ devices) can help simplify programming for large systems. 26 | ni.com | FD-11601 User Guide...
Refer to the Time Triggering topic in the NI-DAQmx Help for more information on accessing time-based features in the NI-DAQmx API. Timebases The following figure shows the FD-11601 clock routing circuitry and timebases. Figure 22. Clock Routing Circuitry 13.1072 MHz Timebase 12.8 MHz Timebase...
