Description
95% RH (non-condensing)
The NI-9421 model falls under the C Series Digital I/O category, designed to cater to various digital input needs. This module is identified by part numbers 779002-01, 779136-01, 779136-02, and 783734-01, offering flexibility in replacement and compatibility options.
It comes equipped with 8 digital input channels, supporting sinking inputs. These channels are capable of handling logic levels of 12V and 24V digital I/O, making the module versatile for different digital signals. Channel-to-earth ground isolation is provided, with values of 250 Vrms for part numbers 779002-01 and 783734-01, and 60 VDC for part numbers 779136-01 and 779136-02, ensuring safe operation and signal integrity.
An important feature of the 779136-02 part number is its conformal coating, enhancing the module’s resistance to environmental factors, thereby increasing its reliability and lifespan in harsh conditions. The NI-9421 is also designed to be energy-efficient, with a power consumption of up to 240 mW when active and as low as 7 mW in sleep mode.
The unit’s physical specifications include a weight of 5.1 oz, making it lightweight yet robust for industrial applications. It operates effectively within a temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 85 °C. Humidity tolerance is also critical for operational and storage conditions, with the device functioning optimally between 10% RH to 90% RH (non-condensing) and a storage humidity range from 5% RH to 95% RH (non-condensing), ensuring the module’s durability and reliability in varying environmental conditions.
