Description
The NI-9467 is a GPS Time Synchronization Module designed for use with C Series specialty modules, bearing the part number 781632-01. This module is engineered to provide precise time synchronization capabilities, making it an ideal solution for applications such as power quality assessment, wind farm monitoring, structural health monitoring, and electrical grid Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs).
It has a built-in GPS antenna power supply that requires +5 VDC or 30 mA max, and it uses an SMA female connector type for the antenna, ensuring reliable and efficient GPS signal reception. Despite its advanced capabilities, the NI-9467 is designed to be energy-efficient, with power consumption of up to 150 mA in active mode and as low as 1 mA in sleep mode.
The module’s input impedance is rated at 50 ohms, and it can receive GPS signals with strengths ranging from -135 dBm to -120 dBm, guaranteeing high sensitivity and accurate time synchronization. It also features a comprehensive LED indicator system that provides immediate status feedback through various colors: Green for normal operation, Yellow for antenna error, Blinking Green for survey mode, Blinking Yellow for satellite issues, and Off when the device is unconfigured.
Despite its sophisticated features, the NI-9467 does not support mobile application compatibility, focusing instead on delivering high performance in fixed installations. It is recommended to be used with the NI FPGA Timekeeper for enhanced functionality. Furthermore, the module is compatible with CompactRIO systems, making it a versatile choice for engineers and professionals in the field.
With a weight of just 4.5 oz, this module combines lightweight design with robust capabilities, providing an efficient solution for a wide range of timing and synchronization tasks. Whether it’s for monitoring large-scale infrastructures or ensuring the accuracy of time-sensitive data, the NI-9467 offers reliability and precision in a compact form factor.
