Description
The CompactRIO NI-9148 chassis, under part number 198944D-05L (with alternatives 781502-01, 781502-02), is a high-end solution designed for Ethernet expansion. It allows for seamless integration with C Series Modules. This chassis is particularly suitable for applications requiring up to 8 slots, making it a versatile choice for a variety of industrial settings.
One of the remarkable features of the NI-9148 is its non-conformal coating, although it’s worth noting that part number 781502-02 does come with a conformal coating for added protection in harsh environments. The chassis is powered by a Spartan-3 2M FPGA, offering robust performance for demanding operations.
For software compatibility, the chassis necessitates the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, which is not required for Windows-based systems, indicating flexibility in software configuration based on the operating environment. Interestingly, the device does not require any additional accessories for its operation, simplifying setup and maintenance.
The NI-9148 is engineered for a broad range of applications, including but not limited to laboratory research, automotive industries, power monitoring, and aerospace/defense projects. Its key features include single point measurements, distributed control and monitoring, and flexible software configuration, providing a comprehensive solution for complex engineering challenges.
Communication is facilitated through Ethernet RIO, supporting up to a 100 meter range, ensuring reliable data transfer across significant distances. Moreover, the chassis is designed with network fail-safe functionalities, enhancing system reliability and data integrity in critical applications.
Mounting is made convenient with options for a 35 mm DIN rail or panel, offering flexibility in installation across various environments. Lastly, the chassis weighs in at 32.7 oz, making it a lightweight yet sturdy option for many industrial applications.
