Description
The NI-9361 is an integral component belonging to the C Series Digital I/O category, distinguished by its part number, 783407-01. This module is designed to be a versatile solution for a wide range of digital counting and timing applications, offering exceptional functionality in a compact form factor.
This module features 8 digital input channels, each capable of embedded counter functions, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring multiple counting tasks to be performed simultaneously. The NI-9361 operates with a 32-bit counter resolution, ensuring precise measurement and control for your applications.
In terms of counter measurements, the NI-9361 is highly versatile, supporting edge counting, pulse width, period, frequency estimation, encoder position, and speed estimations. This functionality makes it suitable for a wide range of measurement and monitoring tasks. Additionally, the module boasts comprehensive encoder support, including quadrature encoding and incremental encoders with two-pulse, as well as an optional Z index reloading feature for more complex positioning tasks.
Specifically designed for CompactDAQ systems, the NI-9361 offers support for 64 counters across every 8 slots, enhancing the system’s counting capabilities. Moreover, velocity measurement support is available, but it is important to note that this feature is supported for CompactRIO systems only, providing further flexibility in application deployment.
The module’s channel configuration is highly adaptable, allowing each channel to be individually configured to work in either differential or single-ended mode. This flexibility is enhanced by the module’s ability to adjust the voltage threshold for single-ended mode, as well as an option to enable or disable the internal pull-up resistor for single-ended mode, providing users with the tools needed to tailor the module’s performance to their specific application requirements.
