Special Conditions for Marine Applications
Some modules are Lloyd’s Register (LR) Type Approved for
marine applications. To verify Lloyd’s Register certification, visit
ni.com/certification and search for the LR certificate, or
look for the Lloyd’s Register mark on the module.
Caution To meet radio frequency emission requirements
for marine applications, use shielded cables and install
the system in a metal enclosure. Suppression ferrites
must be installed on power supply inputs near power
entries to modules and controllers. Power supply and
module cables must be separated on opposite sides of the
enclosure and must enter and exit through opposing

Each channel of the NI 9475 has a DO pin to which you can
connect a device. Each channel also has a COM pin and a Vsup pin.
National Instruments recommends you provide independent COM
and Vsup wiring for each channel to minimize current flow in the
COM and Vsup wiring. The COM pins are all connected together
internally.
Each channel has an LED that indicates the state of the channel.
When a channel LED is lit, the channel is on. When the LED is
dark, the channel is off.
You must connect an external power supply to the NI 9475. This
power supply provides the current for the devices you connect to
the module. Connect the positive lead of the power supply to Vsup
and the negative lead of the power supply to COM. Refer to the
Specifications section for information about the power supply
voltage range.
Caution Do not remove or insert modules if the external
power supply connected to the Vsup and COM pins is
powered on.
The NI 9475 has current sourcing outputs, meaning the DO pin is
driven to Vsup when the channel is turned on.

NI 9475 Operating Instructions and Specifications
You can directly connect the NI 9475 to a variety of industrial
devices such as solenoids, motors, actuators, relays, and lamps.
Make sure the devices you connect to the NI 9475 are compatible
with the output specifications of the module. Refer to the
Specifications section for more information about the output
specifications.
Connect the device to DO and connect the common of the device
to COM. Refer to Figure 2 for an illustration of how to connect a
device to the NI 9475.

Increasing Current Drive
Each channel has a continuous output current of 1 A. If you want
to increase the output current to a device, you can connect any
number of channels together in parallel. For example, if you want
to drive 4 A of current, connect DO<0..3> in parallel as shown
in Figure 3. You must turn all parallel channels on and off
simultaneously so that the current on any single channel cannot
exceed the 1 A rating.

NI 9475 Operating Instructions and Specifications
I/O Protection
The NI 9475 is short-circuit proof in accordance with IEC 1131-2
and provides overcurrent protection.
Understanding Short-Circuit-Proof Devices
Each channel on the NI 9475 has circuitry that protects it from
current surges resulting from short circuits. Whether the module
suffers damage from these overcurrent conditions depends on the
following factors:
•
•
•
The amount of current through the channel
The amount of time the current is above the current limit
The frequency of the current surges
When the amount of current through the DO pin is greater than
13 A, the channel trips and goes into an overcurrent state. In an
overcurrent state, the channel turns off and the module is not
damaged. If the current through DO is between 6 A and 13 A, the
state of the channel is indeterminate and depends on factors such
as the current level, the temperature, and the power supply.
NI 9475 Operating Instructions and Specifications

ni.com
Higher inrush currents that exist for less than the trip time do not
trip the protection circuitry. Refer to the Specifications section for
more information about the maximum continuous output current,
short-circuit behavior, and short-circuit trip time. You also can
refer to the IEC 1131-2 standard for more information about
short-circuit-proof devices.
Tip Because the NI 9475 includes internal flyback
diodes, you do not need to add external diodes when
connecting to switching energy storing devices.
Power Supplies and Overcurrent Conditions
If a short-circuit occurs, the current through DO can exceed the
current rating for the power supply and the maximum continuous
output current for the NI 9475.
If the power supply you are using with the NI 9475 cannot supply
more than 13 A, the module may be damaged if a short-circuit
condition occurs.
Detecting an Overcurrent Condition
If a device connected to the module is not working while the
channel is on, the module channel may be in an overcurrent state.
Neither the software nor the module LEDs indicate if an

11 NI 9475 Operating Instructions and Specifications
overcurrent condition occurs. A channel LED may be on even if the
channel is off because of an overcurrent condition. To determine if
the channel is in an overcurrent state, measure the voltage between
DO and Vsup. If the voltage is equal to the voltage of the external
power supply connected to the module, the channel is in an
overcurrent state.
Resetting Channels After an Overcurrent Condition
After you have determined and fixed the cause of the overcurrent
condition, reset the channel by turning it off. For more information
about writing to output channels, refer to the software help. Visit
ni.com/info and enter cseriesdoc for information about
C Series documentation. Alternatively, you can disconnect the
external power supply from the module. However, doing so
disconnects power from all of the module channels. Normal
operation can resume after you correct the overcurrent condition
and reset the channel.
Sleep Mode
This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep
mode at the system level depends on the chassis that the module is
plugged into. Refer to the chassis manual for information about
NI 9475 Operating Instructions and Specifications

support for sleep mode. Refer to the software help for information
about enabling sleep mode. Visit ni.com/info and enter
cseriesdoc for information about C Series documentation.
Typically, when a system is in sleep mode, you cannot
communicate with the modules. In sleep mode, the system
consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does
in normal mode. Refer to the Specifications section for more
information about power consumption and thermal dissipation.
