Description
The product with the part number 782445-01 falls under the category of CompactRIO Chassis and is identified by the model NI-9146. This particular model is described as an Ethernet RIO Expansion Chassis for C Series I/O Modules, designed to enhance connectivity and expand the capabilities of your systems.
It features 4 slots for accommodating various modules, providing flexibility in configuring your system according to specific needs. The communication protocol supported by this chassis is 10/100 Ethernet, ensuring fast and reliable data transfer rates.
For programming, it offers compatibility with the NI RIO Scan Interface or user-programmable FPGA, providing versatility in application development. Interestingly, it does not require the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for Windows-based systems, which simplifies the setup for those particular environments.
The chassis incorporates a Spartan-6 LX45 FPGA, offering robust performance for handling complex computations and processing tasks. When it comes to installation, this model boasts a variety of mounting options, including horizontal on a flat surface, vertical metallic/panel/wall, non-metallic surface, inside an enclosure, on a desktop, on a rack, or on a 35 mm DIN rail, offering unparalleled flexibility in setup.
It is designed to operate at a maximum ambient temperature of 70 °C, ensuring reliability even in demanding environments. Additionally, to maintain optimal performance, it requires 1 inch of air circulation space on top and bottom of the chassis, and 2 inches of cabling clearance in front of the modules, facilitating proper ventilation and easy maintenance.
