Description
The National Instruments NI-9205 is a highly versatile module designed for precision measurements. Manufactured by National Instruments, this module is known for its reliability and compatibility with NI CompactRIO and CompactDAQ Chassis systems. The NI-9205 is available under several part numbers, including 785184-01, 779357-01, 780173-01, and 199015D-01L, ensuring a wide range of options for users.
It offers flexibility in channel configuration, providing 16 differential or 32 single-ended input channels, coupled with a high input resolution of 16 bits. This ensures accurate data acquisition for a variety of signals. Users can benefit from its programmable input ranges, which include ±200 mV, ±1 Volt, ±5 Volts, and ±10 Volts, allowing for the measurement of both low and high voltage signals with precision.
The NI-9205 is designed with safety in mind, featuring voltage protection up to 60 Volts and transient overvoltage protection up to 1000 Vrms. This protects your hardware from unexpected power surges, ensuring longevity and reliability. It also boasts a maximum sample rate of 250 kS/s per channel, enabling users to capture fast-changing signals with high fidelity.
Connection to the module is made easy through its two connector types: spring terminal (36-position) and D-SUB (37-pin). The module’s weight varies slightly depending on the connector type, with the spring terminal version weighing 5.7 oz and the D-SUB version weighing 5.3 oz. Notably, the part number 780173-01 is specially conformal coated, offering additional protection against harsh environments.
For software support, the NI-9205 utilizes NI-DAQmx driver software, enhancing its compatibility and ease of use within the National Instruments ecosystem. This software support simplifies the integration of the NI-9205 into existing systems, allowing users to start their measurements quickly and efficiently.
