Description
The NI-9361 is a highly versatile C Series Digital I/O module, identified by its part number 783407-01. This module serves as an 8-Channel Differential Counter Input Module, designed to cater to a wide range of industrial and measurement applications.
It boasts an impressive capability to handle 64 counters for every 8 slots when used in a CompactDAQ setup. Each counter operates with a 32-bit resolution, ensuring precise and accurate measurement across various applications.
The NI-9361 is engineered to support a multitude of counter estimations, including edge counting, pulse width, period, frequency, encoder position, and speed. This makes it a highly adaptable solution for projects requiring detailed and complex data analysis.
Encoder support on this module is extensive, offering compatibility with quadrature encoding, incremental encoders (two-pulse), and optional Z index reloading. This allows for sophisticated tracking and monitoring of position and motion, essential in robotics, manufacturing, and research applications.
Specializing in enhanced measurement capabilities, the NI-9361 excels in providing detailed insights into frequency and duty cycle (PWM), position, and velocity. However, it’s important to note that velocity measurements are exclusively available for CompactRIO systems.
The module is equipped with 8 digital input channels, which can be configured per channel as either differential or single-ended, depending on the specific requirements of your project. This level of customization ensures that the module can adapt to various types of signals and environments.
Flexibility extends to the module’s voltage threshold settings, which are programmable to suit a wide range of applications. Additionally, the module features an internal pull-up resistor that can be configured to either enable or disable, providing further adaptability and ease of use in different scenarios.
