This document describes how to use the National Instruments 9514 module and includes specifications and pin assignments for the NI 9514. The safety guidelines and specifications in this Note document are specific to the NI 9514. The other components in the system may not meet the same safety ratings and specifications.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations The NI 9514 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4 and Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only.
II 3G 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 9514 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. To ensure compliance with the applicable...

Connecting the NI 9514 The NI 9514 servo drive interface module is part of a family of C Series motion modules. The module provides servo drive interface signals for a single axis, a full set of motion I/O including inputs for a home switch and limit switches, incremental encoder inputs for position feedback, and 0 to 30 V digital input lines.
System Connection The NI 9514 has two connectors, a 15-pin DSUB drive interface connector and a 20-pin MDR feedback connector. The 15-pin DSUB includes command signals for interfacing with servo amplifiers or drives, a 0 to 30 V general-purpose digital input line, and a 19 to 30 V input for power connection.

NI 9514 Connection Options National Instruments offers several options for connecting the NI 9514 to servo drives. You can use the NI 9514/16 to AKD cable to connect the NI 9514 to the AKD analog servo drive and AKM series servo motors from NI. To connect to third-party servo drives use the NI 951x Cable and Terminal Block Bundle.

, for more information about signal connections. Drive Command Output The NI 9514 module provides a ±10 V analog Drive Command output. Use the Drive Command COM signal instead of COM as a reference for the Drive Command Output. This reference signal helps keep digital noise separate from the analog output.
