Appendix A Connecting I/O Signals
R Series Intelligent DAQ User Manual A-8 ni.com
You can plug each of these 50-pin headers directly into an 8-, 16-, 24-, or3 2-channel SSR backplane for digital signal conditioning. One of the 50-pin headers contains DIO<0..23> from the NI 78xxR RDIO connector. These lines correspond to Slots <0..23> on an SSR backplane in sequential order. The other 50-pin header contains DIO<24..39> from the NI 78xxR RDIO connector. These lines correspond to Slots <0..15> on an SSR backplane in sequential order. You can connect to an SSR backplane containing a number of channels unequal to the number of lines on the NSC68-5050 cable header. In this case, you have access only to the channels that exist on both the SSR backplane and the NSC68-5050 cable header you are using.Figure A-4 shows the connector pinouts when using the NSC68-5050 cable.
