Re: Problems with the RSL

Your description of your connections sounds consistent with the Power Distribution Diagram.

Here are a few things to check on:

1. Is the Digital Sidecar properly connected to the Power Distribution Board? Make sure the Power, 5V, and 6V LEDs light up when power is applied. Make sure that the Wago terminals on the Power Distribution Board and the Digital Sidecar are grabbing the wire and not the insulation, If the wire is not stripped long enough the terminals can grab the insulation.

2. Is the Digital Sidecar connected to the cRIO with the 37 pin cable?

2. Did you try the other Digital Sidecar to verify it is not a hardware problem with the one you are using?
