Description
The 783407-01 is a part of the C Series Digital I/O category, specifically the NI-9361 model. This product functions as a Counter Input Module and is supported by CompactDAQ systems. It provides a robust solution for applications requiring precise counter measurements.
With 64 counters available for every 8 slots, the NI-9361 offers flexibility for large-scale applications. Each channel can be configured for a single vibration train or multiple trains for incremental encoders, making it versatile for different types of measurements.
The module boasts a 32-bit counter resolution, ensuring high precision in measurements. It is capable of standard counter measurements such as edge counting, pulse width, period, frequency, encoder position, and speed. Additionally, it supports enhanced measurements including frequency and duty cycle (PWM), extending its application range.
There are 8 digital input channels included, allowing for the integration of various sensors and inputs into your measurement system. The NI-9361 also supports quadrature encoding and incremental encoders, with options for two-pulse and optional Z index reloading, making it highly suitable for motion control applications.
However, velocity measurement support is available exclusively for CompactRIO systems, highlighting the module’s compatibility with specialized NI hardware. The channel mode can be configured as either differential or single-ended, providing flexibility in connection types.
For single-ended mode, both the voltage threshold and the internal pull-up resistor are programmable, allowing for customization based on the specific requirements of the application.
