60 VDC, Measurement Category I

Note This isolation is intended to prevent ground loops.

Measurement Category I is for measurement performed on circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources, and electronics.

Caution Do not connect the PCI-8513 to signals or use for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.
Attention Ne connectez pas le PCI-8513 à des signaux et ne l'utilisez pas pour effectuer des mesures dans les catégories de mesure II, III ou IV.
Note Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O (Other) are equivalent. These test and measurement circuits are not intended for direct connection to the MAINs building installations of Measurement Categories CAT II, CAT III, and CAT IV.

1 PCI-8513 revision F and later use the TJA1043 transceiver for high-speed/FD CAN; previous hardware revisions use the TJA1041 transceiver. To identify your hardware revision, refer to the 19xxxx<rev>-4xL text on the green label in the top left corner on the secondary side of the board; <rev> indicates the hardware revision.

2 The TJA1043 transceiver is CiA certified for baud rates up to 5 Mbps in the CAN FD fast phase, while speeds up to 8 Mbps are possible experimentally. NI-XNET provides a warning when a transceiver is used at higher baud rates than it is certified for. As new CiA-certified transceivers with higher baud rates are released, NI will continue to update the hardware with newer revisions.

3 PCI-8513 revision E and later use the TJA1055T transceiver for low-speed/fault-tolerant CAN; previous hardware revisions use the TJA1054A transceiver. To identify your hardware revision, refer to the 19xxxx<rev>-4xL text on the green label in the top left corner on the secondary side of the board; <rev> indicates the hardware revision.

4 PCI-8513 revision D and later use the ON Semiconductor NCV7356 single-wire transceiver; previous hardware revisions use the NXP AU5790 single-wire transceiver. To identify your hardware revision, refer to the 19xxxx<rev>-4xL text on the green label in the top left corner on the secondary side of the board; <rev> indicates the hardware revision.
