Each channel of the NI 9478 has a DO pin to which you can connect the load you want to control. Each channel also has a COM pin. National Instruments recommends you provide independent COM wiring for each channel to minimize current flow in the COM wiring. The COM pins are all connected together internally. You must connect an external power supply to the NI 9478. This power supply provides the current for the devices you connect to the module. Connect the positive lead of the power supply

Using Long Cables The inductance of the cabling that connects the NI 9478, the loads, and the external supply stores up energy when a channel is on and passing current through the cables. Each time a channel is turned off, the energy stored in the cables is released as flyback voltage and dissipates as heat in the NI 9478. The total power dissipated in the module increases with higher switching frequencies, higher currents, and longer cable lengths. The cable length is the total distance

You can reduce the effective length of the cable by adding a capacitor close to the NI 9478 across the power supply leads and adding a diode from the digital output line to the V pin line. sup National Instruments recommends that you use a capacitor with a capacitance of at least 20 μF. In this case, the effective length of the cable is the distance from the output pin, through the new diode, through the capacitor, and back to the COM pin, as shown in Figure 5.

I/O Protection The NI 9478 provides protection against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions. Output Current Limit Thresholds The NI 9478 provides two configurable current limit thresholds for the module, Limit A and Limit B. The NI 9478 continuously monitors the current through each output channel and detects if the current exceeds either of the current limit thresholds. You can configure the current limit thresholds and check the current limit output status in software to determine if

Some applications require a large inrush current when a channel is first turned on. If this inrush current exceeds the maximum current limit threshold, you may need to disable overcurrent protection by programming the channel to have no current limit. Refer to the software help for more information about configuring current limits. Visit ni.com/info and enter cseriesdoc for information about C Series documentation.

Overcurrent Refresh The NI 9478 provides an overcurrent refresh setting that enables a channel to automatically recover within the specified overcurrent refresh period if the channel exceeds its current limit threshold. If overcurrent refresh is disabled, the channel remains off after an overcurrent condition until software sends a command to turn the channel back on. Refer to the software help for more information about overcurrent refresh. Visit ni.com/info and enter cseriesdoc for info

Example One You are driving a load with 2.0 meters of cable through a cycle in which the NI 9478 is on and passing 1.25 A of current for 40 μs, then off for 10 μs. The output period is 50 μs (40 μs + 10 μs) so the output frequency is 20 kHz. The channel uses 14.8% of the total power budget, as shown in the following equation. 2 2 4%() 1.25 +[] 0.12%() 2.0 – 0.2() 1.25 + 0.04%() 1.25 + 1 20 = 14.8% NI 9478 Operating Instructions and Specifications 16 ni.com

Example Two You are driving a load with 2.0 meters of cable through a cycle in which the NI 9478 first is constantly on and passing 3 A of current for 0.25 seconds, then drives the load at 20 kHz with 1.25 A current for 1.25 seconds, then drives the load off for 4 seconds. While the NI 9478 is constantly on, the output frequency is 0 kHz and the 2 channel uses 36% (4% × 3 ) of the total power budget.
