2.4 Safety Instructions to avoid Personal Injury
To ensure your own personal safety and to avoid personal injury, you
necessarily must read, understand and follow the following safety
instructions and safety messages in this manual about danger causing
personal injury, before you install and operate your netSCOPE data
aquistion card.
2.4.1 Electrical Shock Hazard
The danger of a lethal electrical shock caused by parts with more than 50V
may occur if you open the PC cabinet to install the netSCOPE data
aquistion card.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE is present inside of the PC or of the connec-
ting device, into which the netSCOPE data aquistion card is integrated.
Strictly obey to all safety rules provided by the device’s manufacturer in
the documentation!
First disconnect the power plug of the PC or of the connecting device,
before you open the cabinet.
Make sure, that the power supply is off at the PC or at the connecting
device.
Open the PC cabinet and install or remove the netSCOPE data aquistion
card only after disconnecting power.
An electrical shock is the result of a current flowing through the human
body. The resulting effect depends on the intensity and duration of the
current and on its path through the body. Currents in the range of
approximately ½ mA can cause effects in persons with good health, and
indirectly cause injuries resulting from startle responses. Higher currents
can cause more direct effects, such as burns, muscle spasms, or
ventricular fibrillation.
In dry conditions permanent voltages up to approximately 42.4 V peak or
60 V are not considered as dangerous if the contact area is equivalent to
the size of a human hand.

2.5 Safety Instructions to avoid Property Damage
To avoid property damage respectively device destruction to the
netSCOPE data aquistion card and to your system, you necessarily must
read, understand and follow the following safety instructions and safety
messages in this manual about danger causing property damage, before
you install and operate your netSCOPE data aquistion card.
2.5.1 Device Destruction by exceeding allowed Supply Voltage
To avoid device destruction due to high supply voltage to your netSCOPE
data aquistion card, you must observe the following instructions. These
instructions apply to all netSCOPE data aquistion cards described in this
manual.
The netSCOPE data aquistion card may only be operated with the specified
supply voltage. Make sure that the limits of the allowed range for the supply
voltage are not exceeded. A supply voltage above the upper limit can
cause severe damage to the netSCOPE data aquistion card! A supply
voltage below the lower limit can cause malfunction in the netSCOPE data
aquistion card. The allowed range for the supply voltage is defined by the
tolerances specified in this manual.
For the netSCOPE data aquistion cards listed hereafter adhere specifically:
The netSCOPE data aquistion card
NSCP-C100-RE\50,
NSCP-C100-RE\50E,
NSCP-C100-RE\70E,
NSCP-C100-RE\80,
NSCP-C100-RE\90E
may not be powered by a 5V supply voltage! The netSCOPE data aquistion
card may only be powered by a 3.3 V dc ±5 % supply voltage.
The data on the mandatory supply voltage for the netSCOPE data
aquistion cards described in this manual you find in section Power Supply
and Host Interface on page 23. There the required and permitted supply
voltage is provided by device type inclusively the permitted tolerance
range.
2.5.2 Device Destruction by exceeding allowed Signaling Voltage
To avoid device destruction due to high signal voltage to your netSCOPE
data aquistion card, you must observe the following instructions. These
instructions apply to all netSCOPE data aquistion cards described in this
manual.
All I/O signal pins at the netSCOPE data aquistion card tolerate only the
specified signaling voltage!
Operating of your netSCOPE data aquistion card with a signaling
voltage other than the specified signaling voltage may lead to severe
damage to the netSCOPE data aquistion card!

The data on the mandatory signaling voltage for the netSCOPE data
aquistion cards described in this manual you find in the section Power
Supply and Host Interface on page 23.There the required and permitted
signaling voltage is provided by device type.
2.5.3 Electrostatically sensitive Devices
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which cause internal
damage and affect normal operation. Therefore adhere to the necessary
safety precautions for components that are vulnerable with electrostatic
discharge if you install or replace your device. Follow the guidelines listed
hereafter when you handle this equipment:
Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
Do not touch connectors or pins on the netSCOPE data aquistion card.
Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
If available, use a static-safe workstation.
When not in use, store the equipment in appropriate static-safe
packaging.

3 Descriptions and Requirements
3.1 Introduction to netSCOPE
The main characteristics of the netSCOPE data aquistion cards are:
Process monitoring
Process documentation
Data acquisition of process values directly from the network
No additional signal wiring
No modification in PLC necessary
You can use the netSCOPE data aquistion cards to record and analyze
data of Ethernet based automation network or its components conforming
to the Ethernet II IEEE 802.3 specification.
For visualization, archiving or machine diagnosis purposes, not even
network telegrams but process values are captured from the network. The
netSCOPE data aquistion card is connected to the automation network as a
purely passive node.
Process values are converted to be displayed in LabVIEW for analyzing
purposes without changing your PLC program at all. All data from the
network is recorded with precision timestamp. All collected process data is
being recorded in a way that it is associated to a certain network cycle
("communication cycle accurate"). At any point of time the record is
complete, allowing examination of information like measurements, status
and control values by going back in time to find out what had happen in
your process.
A detailed description how to use the netSCOPE instrument driver in
LabVIEW you find in the Operating Instruction Manual netSCOPE, VIs
for LabVIEW.

Table 11: netSCOPE Data Acquisition Card with AIFX Assembly Interface Ethernet
The netSCOPE data aquistion card NSCP-C100-RE\90E is composed of a
basic card and an assembly interface AIFX. The basic card NSCP-C100-
RE\90E is equipped with a Cable Connector Ethernet, to connect the
Ethernet assembly interface (AIFX-RE).
Important! Operating the netSCOPE data aquistion card Mini PCI
Express NSCP-C100-RE\90E requires proper connection of the Ethernet
assembly interface (AIFX-RE) to the basic card!
Note: The device height and the power input of the netSCOPE data
aquistion card NSCP-C100-RE\90E do not comply with the standard
specifications.

3.3 Recording and analyzing Data Traffic
For devices with EtherCAT communication the netSCOPE data aquistion
card captures the Ethernet frames, provides them with time stamps and
analyzes the recorded data.
So the netSCOPE data aquistion card must be connected over two
Ethernet connection cables from the netSCOPE data aquistion card TAP to
the Ethernet interface of the EtherCAT Master and to the Ethernet interface
of the Slave 1.
