Description
The Compact FieldPoint pulse width modulation (PWM) output module, part number 777318-520 and model cFP-PWM-520, is designed for precision control applications. This module is capable of delivering 8 PWM sourcing output channels, each offering a frequency of up to 1 kHz and a fully adjustable duty cycle from 0 to 100%.
It features optical bank isolation but does not offer channel-to-channel isolation. The module’s robust design includes a breakdown isolation rating of 2,300 VRMS, ensuring reliable operation even in demanding environments. Additionally, it is equipped with short-circuit protection for the outputs, enhancing the module’s safety and durability.
For ease of monitoring, the module includes simple On/Off LED indicators. Physically, it measures 5.00 x 2.60 x 0.94 inches and weighs 3.9 oz, making it compact and lightweight for easy integration into a variety of systems. It operates reliably over a temperature range of –40 to 70 °C, with a storage temperature range of –55 to 85 °C.
The module has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments, but it remains available for purchase, offering a valuable option for systems requiring reliable PWM output capabilities.
