Description
The Part Number 782445-01 is designated for a CompactRIO Chassis, specifically the NI-9146 model. This chassis is well-suited for a variety of applications, thanks to its 4 slots for module insertion. Communication with the NI-9146 is facilitated through an Ethernet RIO interface, supporting a 10/100 Ethernet network for efficient data transfer.
Users have the flexibility to interact with the chassis via the NI RIO Scan Interface or a user-programmable FPGA, depending on the project’s specific requirements. Notably, the chassis does not require a Real-Time Module for accessing C Series I/O in Windows-based systems, simplifying setup and integration.
The chassis incorporates a Spartan-6 LX45 FPGA, providing substantial processing power for user applications. While programming the FPGA is optional, it can be accomplished with the LabVIEW FPGA Module for those who choose to customize the FPGA’s functionality further.
Mounting the NI-9146 is versatile, with options including horizontal placement on metallic surfaces, panels, walls, non-metallic surfaces, enclosures, desktops, racks, and 35 mm DIN rails. Such flexibility ensures the chassis can be integrated into a wide range of environments and setups. To maintain optimal operating conditions, the chassis can operate in ambient temperatures up to 70 °C when mounted horizontally on a flat, vertical, metallic surface. Moreover, it requires 1 inch of air circulation clearance on the top and bottom and 2 inches of cabling clearance in front of the modules to ensure proper ventilation and ease of maintenance.
