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.

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. Re

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 3.3 V Digital I/O The four 40-pin IDC headers, P2–P5, prov

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 FPGA uses minimum 8 mA drivers, but the devices are not characterized
