Purpose
This document describes how to connect to the sbRIO-9860.
Note Before you begin, complete the soware and hardware installation
procedures in your chassis documentation.
Note The guidelines in this document are specific to the sbRIO-9860. 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. Refer to the
sbRIO-9860 Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information for
safety and EMC information specific to the sbRIO-9860 module.
Note The sbRIO-9860 must be installed inside a suitable shielded
enclosure prior to use.
Connecting the sbRIO-9860
The sbRIO-9860 has two ports for connecting to transceiver cables (required to
connect to the CAN/LIN bus) and a two-position connector for use with an external
power supply.
For more information about transceiver cables, refer to the Transceiver Cable page
on ni.com.
The sbRIO-9860 requires an external power supply of +9 V to +30 V to power the
transceiver cables. Supply power to the sbRIO-9860 VSUP connector on the module

front panel using the supplied power cable. The exposed lead wires at the end of the
power cable are routed as follows: black wire—COM, red wire—VSUP. The power
cable lead wires may be daisy-chained to the controller power port when the
controller supply voltage is in the appropriate range.
Note Power on VSUP is required for transceiver cable operation.
Note When using more than four transceiver cables with your
CompactRIO chassis, refer to the Transceiver Cable page on ni.com for
mounting guidelines to limit the thermal impact to your CompactRIO
system.
sbRIO-9860 Hardware Overview
The sbRIO-9860 is a two-port C Series board based on the XNET architecture. Users
can choose the physical bus protocol by plugging in the corresponding transceiver
cable. The sbRIO-9860 supports hot-swapping of transceiver cables and can detect
and identify transceiver cable types.
For more information about transceiver cables, refer to the Transceiver Cable page
on ni.com.

Inserting and Removing the NI-XNET Transceiver Cable
The NI-XNET Transceiver Cable connects to a host device with an active latching
connector. To connect the NI-XNET Transceiver Cable to a host device, push the
connector assembly into the host receptacle until the internal latch snaps into
position. The latch emits an audible click when engaged. To remove the NI-XNET

Inserting and Removing the Power Cable
The sbRIO-9860 connects to the provided power cable with an active latching
connector. To connect the power cable, push the end of the power cable into the
two-position connector until the internal latch snaps into position. The latch emits
an audible click when engaged.
To remove the power cable, push the lock ejector down to disengage the latch and
simultaneously pull the power cable away from the module, as shown in the
following figure.
