PXI 6511, 6512 and 6513 Digital I/O Modules: NI-MAX Problems

Hello Everyone,

 

yemre_0-1692445339803.png

 

I have PXI 6511, 6512 and 6513 digital I/O modules. The datasheet information is the figure above. I want to test these modules before start my project. I used NI MAX for the test. I can see my modules where their own slots in Devices and Interfaces (like this).

 

For example about PXI-6511, the connection in the figure below is established using pins 1 (+) and 9 (-) by applying a constant 12 V or 24V voltage. In test panels, i want to see a LED always ON (HIGH). I used port0/line0 for the test. But there is no any change.

And then, i tried another test way that creating NI-DAQmx Task for PXI-6511 digital input module (like this). I set acquisition mode that 1 Sample (On Demand) according to this. I tried to run. But there is no any change.

 

As a last way, I used LabVIEW for the test. Block diagram has Create Channel, Start, Read, Clear and Simple Error Handler 

Creat Channel (Digital Input)  --> lines terminal --> port0/line

Read (Digital Bool 1Line 1Point) --> data terminal --> test LED ...

 

I applied constant voltage. But there is no any change.

 

What could be the problem? Thanks in advance for your answers.

 

Best regards.

From the simplified circuit diagram of 6511, it looks like inverted logic i.e., no signal = high (pull up to 3.3V) and signal = low (pulled down by the opto isolator) unless the rest of the logic takes care of inversion.

I'm sure I've set up the connections correctly. What do you think why can't i see the changes on NI-MAX. I have tried for three modules.
