  • Page 31 = 35�� 65, 536 The sbRIO-9637 uses a scaling method that requires some ADC codes (typically about 5% of the codes) to lie outside the specified range. This method improves absolute accuracy, but it increases the LSB size by about 5% over the calculated value.
  • Page 32 Best Practices for Scanning Multiple Channels NI sbRIO devices can scan multiple channels at high rates and digitize the signals accurately. If your application scans multiple channels, settling error can affect the accuracy of your measurements. Settling error is a difference between the input value and the value that the ADC digitizes, and is the result of switching between multiplexed input channels.

  • Page 44: Connecting Can Networks

    Connecting CAN Networks The sbRIO-9637 is populated with one IDC header to provide connections to a CAN bus. This connector has pins for CAN_H and CAN_L, which can connect to the CAN bus signals. The CAN port uses an NXP PCA82C251T high-speed CAN transceiver that is fully compatible with the ISO 11898 standard and supports baud rates up to 1 Mbps.

  • Page 45: Termination Resistors

    ISO 11898 specifies 40 m total cable length with a maximum stub length of 0.3 m for a bit rate of 1 Mb/s. The ISO 11898 specification allows for significantly longer cable lengths at lower bit rates, but NI recommends that you analyze each node for signal integrity problems. Number of CAN Nodes The maximum number of nodes depends on the electrical characteristics of the nodes on the network.
