SCC Configuration Guide
SCC – Portable, Low-Cost Signal Conditioning
• Ideal for portable measurement systems • Wide variety of direct signal and sensor connectivity options • Wide range of analog and digital conditioning options • Measurement type selectable on a per-channel basis • Front-end signal conditioning for M Series, E Series, and some B Series multifunction DAQ devices
Configure Your SCC System in Six Steps
Step 1 – Select Your SCC Modules (Table 1) Analog input, analog output, and digital I/O modules have dedicated slots. You can select up to eight noncascaded modules for analog input and eight modules for digital I/O. You can install feedthrough modules in any slot, but they are especially useful for accessing counter/timers on your M Series, E Series, or B Series multifunction DAQ device. Step 2 – Choose an SCC Carrier (Table 2) SCC carriers are available either with a hinged lid or with configurable connectors using panelettes. Hinged lids provide quick access to the modules. Configurable connectors provide custom signalinterface options. Step 3 – Select Your Panelettes (Table 3) If you have chosen an SCC carrier with configurable connectors, you can also select connector and interface panelettes. Different carriers offer different numbers of panelette slots. Also, some panelettes occupy more than one slot. Step 4 – Determine Your Power Option (Table 4) You can power an SCC system using a +5 VDC, 120/240 VAC, or
7 to 42 VDC external power source. To indicate the power option for your SCC system, select 01, 02, or 03 as the last two digits of the part number of the SC-2345 or SC-2350 carrier. Please note that if you choose power option 01, it is possible to power your SCC system using the internal power source of your DAQ device. For DAQCard and DAQPad devices, the total power required by your SCC modules must be less than 800 mW (490 mW of analog power). For PCI or PXI and M Series or E Series multifunction DAQ devices, the total power required by your SCC modules must be less than 4.55 W (1.74 W for analog modules). Additional power modules are sold separately. To determine the power requirements of the modules in your SCC DAQ system, use the online SCC Advisor at ni.com/advisors. Step 5 – Select Your DAQ Device and Cable (Table 5) Select the DAQ device to control your system. Step 6 – Select Your Accessories Choose from rack/panel-mount kits and stacking kits. You can also select additional power kits separately if your application requires multiple power configurations.

The National Instruments SCC-SG Series consists of dual-channel strain gage modules for conditioning quarter, half, and full-bridge strain gages and a calibration module. Each module is designed for a specific type of bridge configuration. Each channel of an NI SCC-SG module (except SCC-SG11) includes an instrumentation amplifier, a 1.6 kHz lowpass filter, and a potentiometer for bridge-offset nulling. Each SCC-SG0x module also includes a single 2.5 V excitation source. The SCC-SG24 has a 10 V excitation source for load cells and pressure sensors. The SCC-SG11 is a dual-channel shunt calibration module for use with the SCC-SG0x and SCC-SG24 modules. Each channel includes two terminals for wiring a switched 301 kΩ, 1 percent, 1⁄4 W resistor across any two points of your bridge. You enable shunt calibration for both channels of a module by writing a logic high to the digital line controlling the SCC-SG11. You disable shunt calibration by writing a logic low to the same digital line. When you install an SCC-SG module in the SC-2345, the carrier routes the strain gage signals to two input channels of the multifunction DAQ device, channels x and x+8, where x is 0 through 7.

The National Instruments SCC-CI20 is a dual-channel module that accepts two 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA current loop inputs. Each independent channel of the NI SCC-CI20 includes a precision 249 Ω current conversion resistor that converts a 0 to 20 mA signal into a 0 to 5 V signal. Each channel includes a differential instrumentation amplifier with low-impedance outputs for maximum scanning rates by the multifunction DAQ device, and bias resistors for handling both floating and ground-referenced current sources. The SCC-CI20 also includes two spare 249 Ω resistors. When you install the SCC-CI20 in the SC-2345, the carrier routes the two output voltages to two input channels of the DAQ device, channels x and x+8, where x is 0 through 7. For example, if you install the module in the J1 socket of the SC-2345, the output voltages are routed to input channels 0 and 8 of the DAQ device.

The National Instruments SCC-CO20 is a single-channel isolated current output module that can provide up to 20 mA. This module is installation rated for CAT I, and provides a safe working voltage of 60 VDC. Because the modules are isolated, you can connect two NI SCC-CO20 modules in parallel to provide up to 40 mA. The SCC-CO20 plugs into either analog output socket, J17 or J18. The voltage applied to the module from an analog output channel of a multifunction DAQ device sets the current output. Because there are two output channels on DAQ devices, there are a maximum of two SCC-CO20 modules per carrier. Note: Use the SCC-CO20 with only multifunction DAQ devices that have analog outputs.
The National Instruments SCC-DI01 is a single-channel, optically isolated digital input module for sensing digital signals up to 30 VDC, including TTL. This digital input module can sense both AC and DC signals and has a status LED for visual verification of the module input status. The NI SCC-DI01 fits in any SC-2345 socket J9 through J16. When you install an SCC-DI01 in one of these sockets, the digital signal is automatically routed to a DIO line of the multifunction DAQ device. For example, socket J9 connects to digital line 0 of the data acquisition device. Because you can configure multifunction DAQ devices for input or output on a line-by-line basis, you can have between one and eight SCC-DI01 modules per carrier.

The National Instruments SCC-DO01 is a single-channel, optically isolated digital output module for switching external devices. The NI SCC-DO01 optical isolation circuitry handles up to 24 VDC and includes a status LED for visual verification of the module output status. The SCC-DO01 includes an external switch with which you can configure the power-up state of the module either high or low. The SCC-DO01 plugs into any SC-2345 socket between J9 and J16. When you install the module in one of these sockets, the digital signal is controlled by a DIO line of the multifunction DAQ device. For example, socket J9 connects to digital line 0 of the DAQ device. Because you can configure DAQ devices for input or output on a line-by-line basis, you can have from one to eight SCC-DO01 modules per carrier.
The National Instruments SCC-RLY01 is a single-channel relay module for switching external devices. It contains one single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) relay capable of switching 5 A at 30 VDC or 250 VAC when used with the SCC-68 and 5 A at 30 VDC or 30 VAC when used with the SC-2345. The NI SCC-RLY01 uses positive logic. A digital high sets the relay, and a digital low resets it. The SCC-RLY01 plugs into any SC-2345 socket between J9 and J16. When inserting an SCC-RLY01, a DIO line of the multifunction DAQ device controls the digital signal. For example, socket J9 connects to digital line 0 of the data acquisition device. Because you can configure the DAQ devices for input or output on a line-by-line basis, you can have from one to eight SCC-RLY01 modules per carrier.
