Description
The NI-9216 is a C Series Analog Input module, identified by part numbers 783863-01, 783863-02, 785186-01, 783664-01. This module is designed for high precision measurements, featuring an 8-channel configuration capable of interfacing with PT100 RTD sensors. The NI 9216 Spring, as it is often referred, provides a 24-BIT resolution for accurate data acquisition.
The module supports a sample rate of up to 400 samples per second, allowing for rapid data collection across all channels. With a measurement range of 0 to 400 ohms, it can accommodate a wide variety of sensor types and applications. The NI-9216 is engineered for versatility, offering two operating modes: High sample rate and High resolution. These modes are designed to optimize the balance between speed and precision based on the user’s requirements.
In High Resolution Mode, the module provides a conversion time of 200 ms per channel, which amounts to 1600 ms for all channels. Conversely, in High-Speed Mode, it dramatically increases efficiency with a conversion time of just 2.5 ms per channel, totaling 20 ms for all channels. This flexibility makes the NI-9216 suitable for a wide range of industrial and research applications.
Connectivity options include a D-Sub connector and a Spring Terminal, providing secure and reliable connections to various types of sensors and systems. The module also features channel-to-earth ground isolation of 60 Vrms for D-Sub and 250 Vrms for Spring Terminal connections, ensuring robust protection against voltage spikes and surges.
Despite its advanced features, the NI-9216 maintains a compact and lightweight design, weighing in at 5.7 oz for the Spring Terminal version and 5.04 oz for the D-Sub version. This makes it easy to integrate into existing setups without adding significant bulk or weight.
