Typical Benchtop Arrangement2.2.1 NETio Backplane CommunicationWhen a NETio Unit consists of a Base Module and Expansion Modules,as shown in Figure 2-1, all Expansion Modules should be connected tothe Base Module using the Backplane/power connector on the side ofthe modules. The configuration process is easiest if all modules areattached together via their Backplane/power connector.2.2.2 Measure & Connect DC PowerInput power applied to NETio must be within 6–30 volts DC and becapable of continuously providing a minimum of 11 Watts. (Typicalcurrent consumption is: 220 mA @13.8 Vdc for NETio Base Modules.Each module has screw terminations for power and I/O signals. Terminations1 and 2 are for power as shown in Figure 2-2. Strip the wireleads to 6 mm (0.25"). Be sure to observe proper polarity with the positivelead (+) on the left and negative on the right.16 MDS NETio-TB Installation & Operation Guide 05-4801A01, Rev.
