NI 7830R has one RMIO and one RDIO connector for a total of 56 DIO
lines. The NI 7831R/7833R/784
x
R/785
x
R has one RMIO and two RDIO
connectors for a total of 96 DIO lines.

The DIO lines on the NI 78
xx
R are TTL-compatible. When configured as
inputs, they can receive signals from 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL, 5 V CMOS,
and 3.3 V LVCMOS devices. When configured as outputs, they can send
signals to 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL, and 3.3 V LVCMOS devices. Because
the digital outputs provide a nominal output swing of 0 to 3.3 V
(3.3 V TTL), the DIO lines cannot drive 5 V CMOS logic levels.
To interface to 5 V CMOS devices, you must provide an external pull-up
resistor to 5 V. This resistor pulls up the 3.3 V digital output from the
NI 78
xx
R to 5 V CMOS logic levels. Refer to the
NI R Series Intelligent
DAQ Specifications
, available at
ni.com/manuals
, for detailed DIO
specifications.
Caution
Exceeding the maximum input voltage ratings, listed in Table A-2,
, can damage the NI 78
xx
R and the computer. NI is
not
liable for any
damage resulting from such signal connections.
Caution
Do
not
short the DIO lines of the NI 78
xx
R directly to power or to ground. Doing
so can damage the NI 78
xx
R by causing excessive current to flow through the DIO lines.
You can connect multiple NI 78
xx
R digital output lines in parallel to
provide higher current sourcing or sinking capability. If you connect
multiple digital output lines in parallel, your application must drive all of
these lines simultaneously to the same value. If you connect digital lines
together and drive them to different values, excessive current can flow
through the DIO lines and damage the NI 78
xx
R. Refer to the
NI R Series
Intelligent DAQ Specifications
, available at
ni.com/manuals
, for more
information about DIO specifications. Figure 2-11 shows signal
connections for three typical DIO applications.
