To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation, do not use a cable longer than 100 m.
Powering the sbRIO Device The sbRIO device requires a power supply connected to J3. The supply voltage and current must meet the specifications in the Power Requirements section of this document, but the actual power requirement depends on how the device is physically configured, programmed, and used. To determine the power requirement of your application, you must measure the power consumption during execution, and add 20% to your estimates to account for transient and startup conditions.
Boot Options Table 3 lists the reset options available on sbRIO devices. These options determine how the FPGA behaves when the device is reset in various conditions. Table 3. sbRIO Reset Options Reset Option Behavior Do Not Autoload VI Does not load the FPGA bit stream from flash memory. Autoload VI on Device Power-Up Loads the FPGA bit stream from flash memory to the FPGA when the device powers on.
Configuring DIP Switches AMP 0650 1-5435802-7 OFF 1 2 SAFE MODE CONSOLE OUT 3 4 IP RESET NO APP 5 6 USER1 NO FPGA Figure 10. DIP Switches All of the DIP switches are in the OFF (up) position when the sbRIO device is shipped from National Instruments. SAFE MODE Switch The position of the SAFE MODE switch determines whether the embedded LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches at startup. If the switch is in the OFF position, the LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches.
• One stop bit • No flow control Keep this switch in the OFF position during normal operation. If CONSOLE OUT is enabled, LabVIEW RT cannot communicate with the serial port. IP RESET Switch Push the IP RESET switch to the ON position and reboot the sbRIO device to reset the IP address to 0.0.0.0. If the device is on your local subnet and the IP RESET switch is in the ON position, the device appears in MAX with IP address 0.0.0.0. You can configure a new IP address for the device in MAX.
Using the Reset Button Pressing the Reset button reboots the processor. The FPGA continues to run unless you select the Autoload VI on Device Reboot boot option. Refer to the Boot Options section for more information.

Table 4. Status LED Indications Number of Flashes Indication 1 The device is unconfigured. Use MAX to configure the device. Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for information about configuring the device. 2 The device has detected an error in its software. This usually occurs when an attempt to upgrade the software is interrupted. Reinstall software on the device. Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for information about installing software on the device.
The network settings are restored. You can reconfigure the settings in MAX from a computer on the same subnet. Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for more information about configuring the device. Note If the device is restored to the factory network settings, the LabVIEW run-time engine does not load. You must reconfigure the network settings and reboot the device for the LabVIEW run-time engine to load. Integrated 3.
During overvoltage conditions, high current flows through R1 and into the protection diodes. High current causes internal heating in the posistor, which increases the resistance and limits the current. Refer to the Specifications section for current-limiting and resistance values. Drive Strength The sbRIO devices were tested with all 110 DIO channels driving 3 mA DC loads, for a total of 330 mA sourcing from the FPGA.
The OEM user is responsible for determining cabling requirements and ensuring that current limits are not exceeded.

Example power requirement calculations For an sbRIO-9602 with three installed board-only C Series modules, 20 mA total current through 3.3 V DIO pins, and 1 A of current through 5 V output, calculate the total power requirement as follows: Pint = 6.0 W PCSer = 3.30 W PDIO = 0.08 W P5V = 5.55 W Adding 20% for transient conditions, 14.93 W × 1.2 = 17.92 W Total power requirement = 17.92 W For an sbRIO-9601 with one installed board-only C Series module, 330 mA total current through 3.
