Description
The NI-9516 is a product by National Instruments, falling under the category of C Series Motion. It is designed for industrial usage and meets all necessary EMC Requirements to be compliant with industry standards. This model, identified by its part numbers 151538A-01L (Primary) and 780112-02, is a mature product that is still available for purchase and repairs at Apex Waves.
The NI-9516 requires an external power supply (Vsup input) for operation. It features a 15 pin DSUB drive interface and a 20 pin MDR feedback connector, ensuring a wide range of connectivity options for various industrial applications. The compatibility with NI-9516 Cable and Terminal Block Bundle, along with the AKD cable, adds to its versatility in different setups.
One of the key specifications of the NI-9516 is its support for dual loop feedback through two encoder channels. The Encoder 0 Inputs include Phase A, Phase B, and Index, whereas the Encoder 1 Inputs consist of Phase A and Phase B. This setup provides flexibility in motion control and feedback mechanisms.
Additionally, the NI-9516 offers a configurable limit configuration, which includes a Forward Limit and a Reverse Limit, enhancing the safety and control in motion applications. The flexibility extends to the Digital Input Signals as well, which are configurable in software for sourcing or sinking, making it adaptable to various industrial environments and requirements.
