Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The NI 9401 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nC IIC T4, and Ex nC IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the NI 9401 in a potentially explosive environment. Not following these guidelines may result in serious injury or death. Caution Do not disconnect I/O-side wires or connectors unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Do not remove modules unless power has been
switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.

NI 9401 Operating Instructions and Specifications
Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2.
Caution
For Zone 2 applications, install the system
in an enclosure rated to at least IP 54 as defined by IEC 60529 and EN 60529.
Caution
Caution For Zone 2 applications, connected signals must
be within the following limit:
Capacitance .......................... 0.2 F max
Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in Europe
This equipment has been evaluated as EEx nC IIC T4 equipment under DEMKO Certificate No. 03 ATEX 0324020X. Each module is marked II 3G and is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous locations. If you are using the NI 9401 in Gas Group IIC hazardous locations or in ambient temperatures of 40 C Ta 70 C, you must use the device in an NI chassis that has been evaluated as EEx nC IIC T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4 equipment.

Special Conditions for Marine Applications
Some modules are Lloyds Register (LR) Type Approved for marine applications. To verify Lloyds Register certification, visit ni.com/certification and search for the LR certificate, or look for the Lloyds Register mark on the module. 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 enclosure walls.

Connecting the NI 9401
The NI 9401 has a 25-pin DSUB connector that provides connections for eight digital input/output channels.
Each channel has a DIO pin to which you can connect a digital input or output device. The eight DIO channels are internally referenced to COM, so you can use any of the nine COM lines as a reference for the external signal. The DIO channels are grouped in two ports, one containing channels 0, 1, 2, and 3, and one containing channels 4, 5, 6, and 7. You can independently configure each digital port in software for input or output. Note that all four channels in the port must share the same line direction. Refer to the software help for information about configuring ports on the NI 9401. Each channel also has a pull-down resistor and includes overvoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about input thresholds and overvoltage protection. Refer to the Overcurrent Protection section for more information about overcurrent protection.

NI 9401 Operating Instructions and Specifications
Overcurrent Protection Overcurrent protection on the NI 9401 allows only a specified amount of current for switching DIO channels or sourcing the output load. If the NI 9401 goes into an overcurrent state, by exceeding the specified maximum switching frequency or the output load, the module power supply begins to drop in voltage until it completely turns off or the overcurrent condition is removed. When the module is in this state, it can accept new line direction configuration and output state data but cannot pass valid input data to the software. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about the maximum switching frequency and output load for each 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 support for sleep mode. If the chassis supports 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.
