NI-9862 Getting Started
This document explains how to connect to the NI-9862.
The NI-9862 module requires the latest NI-XNET soware to be installed. The latest
version of the NI-XNET soware is at ni.com/downloads.
Note Before you begin, read the NI-9862 Safety, Environmental,
and Regulatory Information and complete the soware 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
Caution Observe all instructions and cautions in the user documentation.
Using the product in a manner not specified can damage the product and
compromise the built-in safety protection.
Attention Suivez toutes les instructions et respectez toutes les mises
en garde de la documentation d'utilisation. L'utilisation du produit de
toute autre façon que celle spécifiée risque de l'endommager et de
compromettre la protection de sécurité intégrée.
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 Gc and Ex nA IIC T4 Gc 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 o or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Caution Do not remove modules unless power has been switched o or
the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Caution Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I,
Division 2, or Zone 2.
Caution The system must be installed in an enclosure certified for the
intended hazardous (classified) location, having a tool secured cover/door,
where a minimum protection of at least IP54 is provided.
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 07ATEX 0626664X and is IECEx UL 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 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 Transient protection shall be provided that is set at a level not
exceeding 140% of the peak rated voltage value of 85 V at the supply
terminals to the equipment.

Caution The system shall only be used in an area of not more than
Pollution Degree 2, as defined in IEC/EN 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 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 the table below.

The NI-9862 features soware-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. The Termination Resistor Specification
table 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.

Connecting a CAN Bus to the NI-9862
You can connect the NI-9862 port to any location on a CAN bus. The following figure
shows one example of connecting the NI-9862 directly to one CAN node.

NI-9862 Hardware Overview
The NI-9862 has one full-featured CAN port that is isolated from the other
modules in the system. The port has a Bosch DCAN CAN controller that is CAN
2.0B-compatible and fully supports both 11-bit and 29-bit identifiers. The port also
has an NXP TJA1041AT High-Speed CAN transceiver that is fully compatible with the
ISO 11898 standard and supports baud rates up to 1 Mbps.
