The controller draws power from either V1 or V2 depending on which terminal has Note a higher voltage. It does not draw power from both terminals. The controller switches between V1 and V2 without affecting operation. The C terminals are internally connected to each other. If you use two power Caution supplies, make sure that they share a common ground.
Connecting Serial Devices to the Controller The controller has an RS-232 serial port to which you can connect devices such as displays or input devices. Use the Serial VIs to read from and write to the serial port. For more information about the Serial VIs, refer to the LabVIEW Help.
USER1 Figure 6. Controller DIP Switches All of the DIP switches are in the OFF position when the controller is shipped from National Instruments. SAFE MODE Switch The position of the SAFE MODE switch determines whether the embedded LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches when the controller boots. If the switch is in the OFF position, the LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches.

the essential services required for updating its configuration and installing software. The LabVIEW Real-Time engine does not launch. Push the SAFE MODE switch to the ON position if the software on the controller is corrupted. Even if the switch is not in the ON position, if there is no software installed on the controller, the controller automatically boots into safe mode.

Continuous flashing The controller has detected an unrecoverable error. Please contact or solid National Instruments. USER1 LED You can define the USER1 LED to meet the needs of your application. To define the LED, use the RT LEDs VI in LabVIEW. For more information about the RT LEDs VI, refer to the LabVIEW Help.
MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources, and electronics. Do not connect to signals or use for measurements within Measurement Caution Categories II, III, or IV.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) At the end of their life cycle, all products must be sent to a WEEE recycling EU Customers center. For more information about WEEE recycling centers and National Instruments WEEE initiatives, visit ni.com/environment/weee.htm RoHS...
Ingress protection ........IP 40 Operating humidity (IEC 60068-2-56) ........10 to 90% RH, noncondensing Storage humidity (IEC 60068-2-56) ........5 to 95% RH, noncondensing Maximum altitude........2,000 m Pollution Degree (IEC 60664) ....2 Shock and Vibration To meet these specifications, you must panel mount the CompactRIO system, affix ferrules to the ends of the terminal wires, and install a tie wrap on the USB cable for strain relief.
