This document explains how to connect to the National
Instruments 9862.
The NI 9862 module requires the latest NI-XNET software to be
installed. The latest version of the NI-XNET software is at
ni.com/downloads.
Note Before you begin, complete the software and
hardware installation procedures in your chassis
documentation.
Note The guidelines in this document are specific to
the NI 9862. The other components in the system might
not meet the same safety ratings. Refer to the
documentation for each component in the system to
determine the safety and EMC ratings for the entire
system.
Safety Guidelines
Operate the NI 9862 only as described in this document.

Hot Surface This icon denotes that the component
may be hot. Touching this component may result in
bodily injury.
Caution Do not operate the NI 9862 in a manner not
specified in this document. Product misuse can result in
a hazard. You can compromise the safety protection
built into the product if the product is damaged in any
way. If the product is damaged, return it to National
Instruments for repair.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The NI 9862 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. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the
NI 9862 in a potentially explosive environment. Not following
these guidelines may result in serious injury or death.
Caution Do not disconnect I/O-side wires or
connectors unless power has been switched off or the
area is known to be nonhazardous.

Caution Do not remove modules unless power has
been switched off or the area is known to be
nonhazardous.
Caution Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2.
Caution For Division 2 and Zone 2 applications,
install the system in an enclosure rated to at least IP54
as defined by IEC/EN 60079-15.
Caution For Zone 2 applications, install a protection
device between the CAN signals and the NI 9862 CAN
pins. The device must prevent the CAN Port-to-COM
voltage from exceeding 55 V if there is a transient
overvoltage condition.
Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in
Europe and Internationally
The NI 9862 has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 Gc equipment
under DEMKO Certificate No. 07 ATEX 0626664X and is
IECEx 14.0089X certified. Each NI 9862 is marked 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 9862
4| ni.com | NI 9862 Getting Started Guide

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.
Caution You must make sure that transient
disturbances do not exceed 140% of the rated voltage.
Caution The system shall only be used in an area of
not more than Pollution Degree 2, as defined in
IEC 60664-1.
Caution The system shall be mounted in an
ATEX/IECEx-certified enclosure with a minimum
ingress protection rating of at least IP54 as defined in
IEC/EN 60079-15.
Caution The enclosure must have a door or cover
accessible only by the use of a tool.
Wiring the NI 9862
The NI 9862 has one 9-pin male D-Sub connector that provides
connections to a CAN bus. The NI 9862 has pins for CAN_H and
NI 9862 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 5

CAN_L, to which you connect the CAN bus signals. Connect
these signals using twisted-pair cable.
The port has two common pins (COM) that are internally
connected to the module’s isolated reference and serve as the
reference ground for CAN_H and CAN_L. You can connect the
CAN bus reference ground (sometimes referred to as CAN_V-) to
one or both COM pins. The port also has an optional shield pin,
SHLD, that you can connect to a shielded CAN cable.
Connecting SHLD may improve signal integrity and EMC
performance in a noisy environment.
Caution You must use a UL listed ITE power supply
marked LPS with the NI 9862.
The NI 9862 requires an external power supply of +9 to +30 V to
operate. Supply power to the NI 9862 VSUP pin.
Note Power on VSUP is required for CAN operation.
The NI 9862 pinout is listed in Table 1.
The NI 9862 features software-selectable bus termination for
High-Speed CAN transceivers. On the NI 9862, you can enable

120 Ω termination resistors between CAN_H and CAN_L
through an API call. Table 3 lists recommended termination
resistor values.

CAN Bus Topology and Termination
A CAN bus consists of two or more CAN nodes cabled together.
The CAN_H and CAN_L pins of each node are connected to the
main CAN bus cable through a short connection known as a
“stub.” The pair of signal wires, CAN_H and CAN_L, constitutes
a transmission line. If the transmission line is not terminated,
each signal change on the bus causes reflections that may cause
communication errors. Because the CAN bus is bidirectional,
both ends of the cable must be terminated. However, this
requirement does not mean that every node on the bus should
have a termination resistor; only the two nodes at the far end of
the cable should have termination resistors.
Figure 1 shows a simplified diagram of a CAN bus with multiple
CAN nodes and proper termination resistor (Rt) locations.
