D000017 National Instruments Throttle Driver Module

The National Instruments / Drivven D000017 Throttle Driver Module provides a CompactRIO (cRIO) module for driving passenger car electronic throttle bodies up to 70mm in diameter. A typical example of electronic throttle bodies which this module is capable of driving is the Bosch DV-E5 series which range from 32mm to 68mm in diameter. However, the module is capable of driving most other electronic throttle bodies within that size range.

The Electronic Throttle Driver module requires power from two different sources. One source is from the CompactRIO backplane male high density D-Sub 15-pin (HD15) connector which mates with the module's female HD15 connector. This power source provides a regulated 5 volts and ground to various digital logic functions within the module. The CompactRIO 5V source is active whenever the CompactRIO or R-Series Expansion Chassis is properly powered. The module should only be powered at the HD15 connector by plugging it into a CompactRIO or R-Series Expansion Chassis. The module's HD15 connector should not be connected to any other device. Another required power connection is at the external screw terminal connector. The terminals are labeled BATT (0) and GND (9). Typical power sources will be from automotive 12V or 24V battery systems. However, the module can accept power from a range of 6V to 32V. The external battery power ground is completely isolated, within the module, from the CompactRIO 5V supply ground. However, the external battery ground and the CompactRIO ground may be connected externally.

CompactRIO modules from Drivven are compatible within two different platforms from National Instruments. One platform is CompactRIO, consisting of a CompactRIO controller and CompactRIO chassis. The other platform is National Instruments PXI which consists of any National Instruments PXI chassis along with a PXI RT controller and PXI-78xxR R-Series FPGA card. An R-Series expansion chassis must be connected to the PXI FPGA card via a SHC68-68-RDIO cable. The CompactRIO modules insert into the R-Series expansion chassis. Drivven CompactRIO modules are not compatible with the National Instruments CompactDAQ chassis. Drivven CompactRIO modules REQUIRE one of the hardware support systems described above in order to function. The modules may not be used by themselves and/or interfaced to third party devices at the backplane HD15 connector.
