Protecting Against Inductive Loads
When an inductive load, such as a relay or solenoid, is connected to an 
output, a large counter-electomotive force may occur at switching time due 
to energy stored in the inductive load. This flyback voltage can damage the 
outputs and the power supply.
To limit flyback voltages at the inductive load, install a flyback diode across 
the load. Mount the flyback diode as close to the load as possible. Use this 
protection method if you connect any of the isolated outputs to an inductive 
load.
Connecting to Serial Devices
Use the RS232_RXD and RS232_TXD signals on the POWER-I/O 
connector for serial communication. Connect the RS232_RXD signal on 
the NI Smart Camera to the Tx signal on your serial device. Connect the 
RS232_TXD signal on the smart camera to the Rx signal on your serial 
device. Connect COM on the smart camera to the ground of your serial 
device.
When the CONSOLE DIP switch is in the OFF position, you can use the 
NI-Serial driver for serial communication. You must install the NI-Serial 
software on the smart camera; it is not installed by default. Refer to the 
Serial Hardware and Software Help for information about installing the 
NI-Serial software on LabVIEW Real-Time targets, such as the smart 
camera. To open this document, navigate to Start»All Programs»

Communicating with the Console
When the CONSOLE DIP switch is in the ON position, you can read device 
information from the NI Smart Camera during startup, such as the 
IP address and firmware version, through a serial port terminal program. 
Ensure that the serial port terminal program is configured to the following 
settings:
9,600 bits per second
Eight data bits
No parity
One stop bit
No flow control
