SCC Configuration Guide

Configure Your SCC System in Six Steps

Step 1 – Select Your SCC Modules (Table 1)

Analog input, analog output, and digital I/O modules have dedicated

slots. You can select up to eight noncascaded modules for analog input

and eight modules for digital I/O. You can install feedthrough modules in

any slot, but they are especially useful for accessing counter/timers on

your M Series, E Series, or B Series multifunction DAQ device.

Step 2 – Choose an SCC Carrier (Table 2)

SCC carriers are available either with a hinged lid or with

configurable connectors using panelettes. Hinged lids provide quick

access to the modules. Configurable connectors provide custom signal-

interface options.

Step 3 – Select Your Panelettes (Table 3)

If you have chosen an SCC carrier with configurable connectors, you can

also select connector and interface panelettes. Different carriers offer

different numbers of panelette slots. Also, some panelettes occupy more

than one slot.

Step 4 – Determine Your Power Option (Table 4)

You can power an SCC system using a +5 VDC, 120/240 VAC, or

7 to 42 VDC external power source. To indicate the power option for your

SCC system, select 01, 02, or 03 as the last two digits of the part number

of the SC-2345 or SC-2350 carrier.

Please note that if you choose power option 01, it is possible to power

your SCC system using the internal power source of your DAQ device.

For DAQCard and DAQPad devices, the total power required by your SCC

modules must be less than 800 mW (490 mW of analog power). For PCI

or PXI and M Series or E Series multifunction DAQ devices, the total

power required by your SCC modules must be less than 4.55 W (1.74 W

for analog modules). Additional power modules are sold separately. To

determine the power requirements of the modules in your SCC DAQ

Step 5 – Select Your DAQ Device and Cable (Table 5)

Select the DAQ device to control your system.

Step 6 – Select Your Accessories

Choose from rack/panel-mount kits and stacking kits. You can also select

additional power kits separately if your application requires multiple

power configurations.
