Each NI-9469 is marked and is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous locations, in ambient temperatures of -40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C. If you are using the NI-9469 in Gas Group IIC hazardous locations, you must use the device in an NI chassis that has been evaluated as Ex nC IIC T4, Ex IIC T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4 equipment.
Furthermore, any changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved by National Instruments could void your authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules. Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with shielded cables and accessories.
Connecting the NI 9469 The NI-9469 has three RJ45 connectors on the front panel labeled Port 0, 1, and 2. These connectors use standard straight through CAT 5e Ethernet cabling to provide connection to other NI-9469 modules only . Each port is software configurable to drive or receive four differential signals through the cable, which are referred to as Line 0 to 3.
NI 9469 Application In a basic application, a single NI-9469 module is inserted into each host C Series chassis. One module is set as master, the remainder as slaves, and all modules are connected with a tree topology. Figure 2 shows a tree topology example. More advanced and customizable options create a flexible topological network of NI-9469 modules.
Figure 4. Daisychain Topology Figure 5. Hybrid Topology Activity LEDs The NI-9469 has four front panel LEDs labeled Trig 0, Trig 1, Trig 2, and Trig 3/Clk. The LEDs blink when activity is detected on the corresponding line to or from the carrier.
NI-9469 Getting Started Sleep Mode This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep mode at the system level depends on the chassis the module is plugged into. Refer to the chassis manual for information about support for sleep mode. If the chassis supports sleep mode, refer to the software help for information about enabling sleep mode.
