Description
The 781632-01 is a part of the C Series Specialty Modules, specifically the NI-9467 model. This module is described as the National Instruments NI-9467 C Series GPS Synchronization Module. It is primarily used for applications such as power quality assessment, wind farm monitoring, structural health monitoring, and electrical grid PMUs. The module provides a +5 VDC or 30 mA maximum power supply to the antenna, which connects via an SMA female connector.
This module is supported by CompactRIO systems but does not have mobile application compatibility. It is recommended to be used with NI FPGA Timekeeper for optimal performance. The input impedance of the module is 50 ohms, and its power consumption varies, being active up to 150 mA from the chassis and only 1 mA in sleep mode, although the availability of sleep mode depends on the chassis. The recommended GPS signal strength for optimal performance ranges from -135 dBm to -120 dBm.
Furthermore, the module features front panel LED indicators to provide operational status. A green LED indicates normal operation, yellow signals an antenna error, blinking green denotes that the module is surveying, and blinking yellow indicates satellite issues. When the LED is off, it indicates no power or a malfunction. These indicators are essential for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting of the module’s performance.
