Description
The NI-9870 is a high-performance industrial communication interface, specifically a 4 Port RS 232 Serial Module with a conformal coating designed for robust and reliable data transmission. Its part number is 198850A-03L, categorizing it within the Industrial Communication Interfaces range. This module is equipped with 4 RS232 DTE Ports, ensuring compatibility with the ANSI/EIA/TIA-232 Standard, making it versatile for a wide range of industrial applications.
The NI-9870 is engineered to be powered remotely, requiring a power supply of 8 to 28 VDC. Despite its high functionality, it maintains low power consumption, with a maximum of 0.5 W during active use and as low as 50 µW in sleep mode. It supports an impressive baud rate of up to 921.6 kbit/s per port and has a buffer size of 64 B per port, with the capability to achieve a maximum data rate of 2 Mbit/s. This ensures efficient and rapid data transmission across multiple channels simultaneously.
Software compatibility includes the NI-RIO driver, as well as integration capabilities with LabVIEW, Visual C#, and Visual C++, providing flexibility and ease of use for developers and engineers. With a weight of only 5.4 oz, it is lightweight yet durable, designed to withstand harsh industrial environments. The operating temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C and storage temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C further attest to its robustness and reliability in a wide range of operational conditions.
