Description
The National Instruments NI-9205 is a highly versatile module compatible with NI CompactRIO and CompactDAQ Chassis. It offers a wide range of features designed to meet various data acquisition needs.
With the ability to handle 16 differential or 32 single-ended input channels, this module provides flexibility for various measurement configurations. Its 16 bits analog input resolution ensures that data is captured with high precision, making it suitable for detailed analysis.
The NI-9205 supports programmable input ranges, including ±200 mV, ±1 Volt, ±5 Volts, and ±10 Volts, allowing it to accommodate a broad spectrum of signal levels. Its maximum sample rate of 250 kS/s per channel offers rapid data collection, ensuring that even fast-changing signals are accurately captured.
Designed with safety in mind, it features voltage protection up to 60 Volts and can withstand transient overvoltages of 1000 Vrms, protecting the device and connected equipment from damage.
The module is available with different connectors: spring terminal (part number 785184-01) for secure, tool-free connections, and D-Sub front (part numbers 779357-01, 780173-01) for standard cable connections. This versatility ensures that the module can be easily integrated into various setups.
It also offers ground isolation levels of 250 Vrms Ch-Earth for the spring terminal version and 60 VDC Ch-Earth for the D-Sub versions, minimizing noise and ensuring stable measurements.
One of the variants, part number 780173-01, is conformal coated, providing additional protection against harsh environmental conditions, making it suitable for demanding applications.
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, making it a lightweight addition to any data acquisition system.
