National Instruments Relay Module SCC-RLY01 User manual

USER GUIDE
SCC-RLY01 Relay Module
The SCC-RLY01 contains one single-pole double-throw (SPDT)
nonlatching relay capable of switching 5 A at 30 VDC when using an
SC-2345 or SC-2350, or 250 VAC when using an SCC-68. Any single
E/M Series DAQ device digital input/output (P0) line 0 to 7 can control the
SCC-RLY01.
The SCC-RLY01 uses positive logic. A digital high sets the relay, and
a digital low resets it. In the set state, the common (COM) contact is
connected to the normally open (NO) contact. In the reset state, the
common (COM) contact is connected to the normally closed (NC) contact.
Conventions
The following conventions are used in this guide:
<> Angle brackets that contain numbers separated by an ellipsis represent
a range of values associated with a bit or signal name—for example,
P0 <3..0>.

You can download NI documents from ni.com/manuals. To download
the latest version of NI-DAQ, click Download Software at ni.com.
Note Configuring the SCC system using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) is
not supported on the Macintosh operating system.
Device Specific Information
Note For general SCC module installation and signal connection information, and
information about the SCC-68 or SC-2345 carrier, refer to the SCC Quick Start Guide,
available for download at ni.com/manuals.
Installing the Module
Caution Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference document
before removing equipment covers or connecting/disconnecting any signal wires.
Plug the SCC-RLY01 into any DIO socket J(X+9), where Xis 0 to 7, on the
SC-2345, or into any of the four slots that correspond to P0.0 to P0.3 on the
SCC-68.
Connecting the Input Signals
Note The signal names have changed. Refer to ni.com/info and enter rdtntg
to confirm the signal names.
Each screw terminal is labeled by pin number <1..3>. Pin 1 is the
NC terminal, pin 2 is the COM terminal, and pin 3 is the NO terminal.
The SCC-RLY01 contains one SPDT relay controlled by the digital line of
an E/M Series DAQ device P0. line X. The value of Xis determined by the
number of the DIO socket, J(X+9) on the SC-2345 or SCC Mod (X+ 1) on
the SCC-68, where you plug in the SCC-RLY01. Figure 1 shows a circuit
diagram of the SCC-RLY01.
