Description
The Compact FieldPoint module identified by the part number 777318-520 is a specialized component designed for various industrial applications. This module, known as the cFP-PWM-520, stands out for its capability to handle Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Output. It is engineered to deliver precise control over the PWM signals, which is crucial for managing the power delivered to devices.
With 8 PWM sourcing output channels, the module offers flexibility in connecting and controlling multiple devices simultaneously. The ability to adjust the output frequency up to 1 kHz and modify the duty cycle from 0 to 100% provides users with the versatility needed for precise control over their PWM signals.
One of the module’s significant features is its optical bank isolation, which includes a 2,300 VRMS breakdown isolation. However, it is important to note that there is no channel-to-channel isolation. This means that while the module itself is protected against high voltage transients, individual channels are not isolated from each other.
For ease of monitoring, the module is equipped with On/Off LED indicators that offer immediate visual feedback on the operational status of each channel. Additionally, the module is designed with short-circuit protection for outputs, ensuring the safety and longevity of both the module and connected devices.
The physical dimensions of the module are 5.00 x 2.60 x 0.94 inches, and it weighs 3.9 oz, making it compact and lightweight for easy integration into various setups. It is designed to operate within a temperature range of –40 to 70 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from –55 to 85 °C, ensuring reliability across a wide range of environmental conditions.
It is worth noting that this module has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments, but it remains available for purchase. This status indicates that while the product may no longer be in active development or production, support and availability for purchase may still exist for consumers who rely on this specific model for
