NI 9476 Operating Instructions and Specifications
Caution 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 For Zone 2 applications, install a protection
device between the external power supply and the Vsup
pin. The device must prevent the Vsup-to-COM voltage
from exceeding 50 V if there is a transient overvoltage
condition.
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 9476 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 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
enclosure walls.

Each channel has a DO pin to which you can connect a digital input
device. The 32 digital output channels are internally referenced to
COM.
You must connect an external power supply to the NI 9476. The
power supply provides the current for the output channels. Connect
the positive lead of the power supply to the supply pin, Vsup, and
the negative lead of the power supply to the common pin, COM.
Refer to the Specifications section for information about the power
supply voltage range.
Note The Vsup pins are internally connected. You can
connect only one external voltage supply to the device.
Caution Do not remove or insert modules if the external
power supply connected to the Vsup and COM pins is
powered on.
The NI 9476 has current sourcing outputs, meaning the DO pin is
driven to Vsup when the channel is turned on.

NI 9476 Operating Instructions and Specifications
You can directly connect the NI 9476 to a variety of industrial
devices such as solenoids, motors, actuators, relays, and lamps.
Make sure the devices you connect to the NI 9476 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 COM, and connect the external
power supply to Vsup and COM, as shown in Figure 2.

Increasing Current Drive
Each channel has a continuous output current of 250 mA. 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 1 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 250 mA rating.

Protecting the Module from Flyback Voltages
If the module is switching an inductive or energy-storing device
such as a solenoid, motor, or relay, and the device does not have
flyback protection, install an external flyback diode as shown in

I/O Protection
The NI 9476 is protected against overcurrent, inrush, and
short-circuit conditions in accordance with IEC 1131-2.
Understanding Protected Devices
Each channel on the NI 9476 has circuitry that protects it from
voltage and current surges resulting from short circuits.
Caution The NI 9476 can be damaged under overvoltage
and reverse bias voltage conditions. Check the voltage
specifications for all devices that you connect to the
NI 9476.
Excessive current through a DO pin causes the channel to go into
an overcurrent state. In an overcurrent state, the channel cycles off
and on until the short circuit is removed or the current returns to an
acceptably low level. Refer the Specifications section for typical
trip currents.
Each channel has a status line that indicates in software whether the
channel is in an overcurrent state. Refer to the software help for
information about reading output status.

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.
