Am I missing something?
I have two wires coming from the PD with a 20 amp circut breaker going into the dsc J22
and I got the db37 cable coming from the cRIO
The fact that the 5V LED goes off when you remove the DB37 cable indicates that there is a problem with the power wiring of your digital sidecar. It's sometimes possible to crimp the insulation of the wire in the wago connector, rather then the bare wire. Verify that you actually have 12 volts at the digital sidecar connector.
