Description
The CompactRIO Chassis, with a part number of 782445-01, is a sophisticated piece of equipment designed for advanced applications. The chassis boasts the model number NI-9146 and is equipped with 4 slots for modular expansion. It utilizes an Ethernet RIO connection, supporting 10/100 Ethernet network speeds, which facilitates efficient data communication.
This device provides I/O Access through either an NI RIO Scan Interface or FPGA, offering flexibility in how data is processed and managed. It is compatible with Windows-based or LabVIEW Real-Time systems, although the Real-Time Module Requirement is not necessary for Windows-based setups. The chassis includes a Spartan-6 LX45 FPGA, which allows for optional digital design enhancements with the LabVIEW FPGA Module.
One of the most versatile aspects of this chassis is its mounting options. It can be mounted horizontally, vertically, on a panel, wall, non-metallic surface, enclosure, desktop, rack, or a 35 mm DIN rail, offering unparalleled flexibility in installation environments. The device can operate under a maximum ambient temperature of 70 °C when mounted on a flat, vertical, metallic surface, ensuring reliable performance under varying conditions. To maintain optimal operation, it requires an air circulation clearance of 1 inch on the top and bottom and 2 inches in the front for cabling.
In summary, the NI-9146 CompactRIO Chassis is a highly adaptable and powerful device designed to meet a wide range of application requirements, from simple data logging to complex control systems, thanks to its robust networking capabilities, flexible mounting options, and comprehensive software compatibility.
