Description
The NI-9361 is a part of the C Series Digital I/O category, bearing the part number 783407-01. This model is specifically designed for CompactDAQ systems, offering a robust solution for digital input applications. With its capability to handle 64 counters for every 8 slots, it provides a versatile platform for various measurement and monitoring tasks.
Equipped with 8 digital input channels, the NI-9361 can perform a wide range of measurement types including edge counting, pulse width, period, frequency, encoder position, and speed, making it highly suitable for complex industrial applications. Each channel supports a 32-bit counter resolution, ensuring precise data acquisition and analysis.
When it comes to encoder support, the NI-9361 stands out with its ability to work with quadrature encoding and incremental encoders. This includes support for two-pulse encoders with an optional Z index reloading feature, enhancing its utility in motion control and positioning tasks. However, it’s important to note that velocity measurement support is exclusively available for CompactRIO systems, thereby limiting its use in other configurations.
The device’s channel front end configuration is highly adaptable, offering both differential or single-ended mode. This is complemented by a programmable voltage threshold level and an optional internal pull-up resistor, allowing for easy integration into various system designs and catering to a broad range of signal types.
