Hardware Overview
The IVN-8561 has a total of four communication ports, and one USB port for power.
Ports 1 and 3 are 100BASE-T1 ports for Automotive Ethernet connections using two-position
terminal blocks. Ports 2 and 4 are 100BASE-TX ports for Ethernet connections using 8-pin,
modular RJ-45 connectors.
The 100BASE-T1 interfaces use an NXP TJA1100 100 Mbit/s BroadR-Reach-compliant PHY.
Weidmuller OMNIMATE SL-SMT 3.50/02/90LF terminal block headers are used to connect
to these ports. Compatible plugs are included with the IVN-8561.
Each 100BASE-T1 port can be configured as master or slave, using switches on the front
panel.
The power connector is USB Type-C. Use the USB cable (Type-C to Type-A) included with
the IVN-8561 to power the device from a standard USB 3.0 port on your computer or
industrial controller. The IVN-8561 can be powered from the USB port of any NI PXI,
CompactRIO, or industrial controller.

Cabling Requirements
Cabling for port 1 and port 3 connections must be 100BASE-T1 compliant, shielded or
unshielded twisted pair cable, with a maximum length of 15 m and cable impedance of 100 Ω
±10%. Cabling for port 2 and port 4 connections must be Cat 5e or higher Ethernet cable.
LEDs
LEDs on the left side of the front panel indicate Link and Activity on the 100BASE-T1
Automotive Ethernet ports. LEDs on the RJ45 connectors indicate Link, Activity, and
100 Mbit speed on the 100BASE-TX Ethernet ports.

Master/Slave Switches
Switches on the left side of the front panel control master/slave selection for the 100BASE-T1
Automotive Ethernet ports.
Switch Description Position
P1 MASTER/SLAVE 100BASE-T1 port 1 master/slave
selection
Up: Master mode selected
Down: Slave mode selected
P3 MASTER/SLAVE 100BASE-T1 port 3 master/slave
selection
To establish a link between two 100BASE-T1 ports, one port must be configured as master
and the other as slave. The IVN-8561 allows you to establish a link with a port in any
configuration by selecting the appropriate mode with the front panel switch.
When you change the MASTER/SLAVE switch selection, the IVN-8561 immediately changes
the configuration and resets the corresponding 100BASE-T1 and 100BASE-TX ports for that
channel. The master/slave configuration of one channel can be changed without affecting the
other.
DIN Rail Mounting
The NI 9913 DIN rail mounting kit (part number 781740-01) contains one clip for mounting
the IVN-8561 on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. The four holes on the bottom of the IVN-8561
allow the device to be mounted in multiple orientations.
Fasten the DIN rail clip to the IVN-8561 using two FLH #6-32 x 5/16" screws (included in the
kit) with a #2 Phillips screwdriver, as shown in the following figure.

Wiring the IVN-8561
Terminal block headers are used to connect to the 100BASE-T1 ports. Compatible plugs are
included with the IVN-8561. Attach these plugs to twisted pair cabling to connect a
100BASE-T1 network to ports 1 or 3 of the IVN-8561.
Pin Assignments
Refer to the following tables for descriptions of the terminal block (100BASE-T1) and RJ45
(100BASE-TX) pin assignments.

Functional Diagram
100BASE-T1 is the standard for 100 Mbit/s Automotive Ethernet. The physical connection
consists of an unshielded twisted pair cable over which two connected nodes transmit and
receive simultaneously in point-to-point full-duplex operation.
The IVN-8561 provides two channels to convert data between 100BASE-TX Ethernet and
100BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet. Each channel consists of one port for 100BASE-T1
communication and one port for 100BASE-TX communication. The IVN-8561 uses a two-
position terminal block to connect a 100BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet system to the device.
