SCC-AI Series Isolated Analog
Input Modules
The SCC-AI Series isolated analog input modules (SCC-AIXX) can extract
a relatively low-amplitude input signal from a high-common-mode voltage
so the E Series DAQ device can measure the input signal. They also can
amplify and filter the input signal, resulting in higher measurement
resolution and accuracy.
SCC-AIXX modules are available in a range of gains from 0.2 to 200. They
contain lowpass filters of either 10 kHz or 4 Hz bandwidt

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 A blue label stripe identifies the SCC-AIXX as an analog input module. The label also displays the icon shown in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1. SCC-AIXX Icon You can plug the SCC-AIXX into any analog input socket on the SC-2345. The socket you choose determines which E Series DAQ device channels receive the SCC-AI

4. In the SCC Connector Block Configuration window, configure the SCC system as follows: a. Specify the SCC Carrier Type. The location of the SCC sockets change depending on the SCC carrier type. b. Select the DAQ Device that is connected to the SC-2345. c. Type the SCC Connector Block ID. The default value is SCC1. d. In the J21 drop-down list next to Power, select the correct SC-2345 power configuration. Refer to the SC-2345 User Manual for information on power configurations. e. For each

10. If you make a selection mistake, select the socket and click Remove. 11. Repeat steps 8 and 9 for each newly installed SCC. 12. Click OK after completing all SCC entries. 13. Click OK to complete the configuration process and close MAX. Note Configuring the SCC system using MAX automatically sets the E Series DAQ device analog input mode to nonreferenced single-ended (NRSE).

Scaling Voltage Measurements If you configured the SCC-AIXX using MAX and you are using NI-DAQ, the voltage reading you get from the E Series DAQ device accounts for the voltage scaling effect of the SCC-AIXX. Otherwise, since the voltage measurement from the E Series DAQ device is scaled by the gain given in Table 1-1, you must divide the voltage reading returned by the E Series DAQ device by this gain to get the correct input voltage. Specifications These ratings are typical at 25 °C unle

Calibrating Gain and Offset Errors The SCC-AIXX is calibrated at the factory before shipment. If you want to adjust the gain of the SCC-AIXX in your system using your E Series DAQ device, you need a voltage source that is several times more accurate than the SCC itself and capable of providing the DC voltage shown in Table 1-3. Table 1-3. SCC-AIXX Input Voltage Requirements Module Input Range SCC-AI01 40 V SCC-AI02 16 V SCC-AI03 8 V SCC-AI04 4 V SCC-AI05 800 mV SCC-AI06 80 mV SCC-AI07 40 mV

9. Adjust the trimpot labeled Gain located on the top of the SCC-AIXX. If the value you obtained in step 8 is less than the input voltage, turn the trimpot clockwise to increase the gain. If it is greater than the input voltage, turn the trimpot counterclockwise to decrease the gain. 10. Repeat steps 4 through 9 until the difference you get in step 8 equals the Input Voltage Required value shown in Table 1-3; in this example the value is 8 V using an SCC-AI03. For example, assume that you h
