Description
The NI-9870 model, marked with part number 198850A-01L, is a highly versatile module designed for Industrial Communication Interfaces. This module is equipped with a RS232 serial interface and offers 4 independent, isolated ports, making it an ideal choice for robust and reliable communication in various industrial settings. Each port is compatible with the ANSI/EIA/TIA-232 standard, ensuring a wide range of device compatibility.
It operates with an external power supply ranging from 8 to 28 VDC, providing flexibility in terms of power sourcing. The baud rate can reach up to 921.6 kbit/s per port, with the module capable of achieving a maximum data transfer rate of up to 2 Mbit/s. Despite its high performance, the NI-9870 maintains a low power consumption, with a maximum of 0.5 W when active and as little as up to 50 µW in sleep mode.
Each port is equipped with a 64 B UART FIFO, allowing efficient data handling and minimizing the risk of data loss during high-speed communications. The module also includes a PC-MF4-PT cable, supporting a maximum cable length equivalent to 250 pF, which enhances its usability in various industrial environments.
The NI-9870 is compatible with a broad range of software, including the NI-RIO driver, LabVIEW, Visual C#, and Visual C, offering flexibility in programming and ease of integration into existing systems. This makes the NI-9870 an excellent choice for developers and engineers looking for a reliable, high-performance communication interface for their industrial applications.
