Description
The National Instruments PXI-8186 is a high-performance embedded controller designed for use in PXI systems. Manufactured by National Instruments, this model is equipped with a 2.2 GHz Pentium 4-M CPU and a 512 KB on-die cache, ensuring efficient processing capabilities for demanding applications. It comes with 256 MB of DDR SDRAM, which provides ample memory for running complex programs and processes.
The PXI-8186 offers a 30 GB hard drive, providing sufficient storage space for software, data logging, and other application needs. This hard drive measures 2.5 inches and has a thickness of 9.5 mm, making it compact yet capable. For graphical requirements, the controller includes an Intel Extreme Graphics core integrated system, which supports basic visualization tasks without the need for an external graphics card.
Connectivity is versatile with the PXI-8186, featuring a range of ports including 1x 10/100BaseTX for network connections, 1x IEEE 1284 Parallel and 1x PCI-GPIB/TNT for instrumentation and legacy devices, 2x USB 2.0 for modern peripherals, 1x PS/2 for a mouse or keyboard, and 2x Serial ports for additional devices. This variety of ports ensures that the PXI-8186 can interface with a wide array of devices and systems.
The PXI-8186 is designed to operate within a temperature range of 5 to 40 °C in its standard version. However, for environments that require broader temperature ranges, an extended version is available that operates from 0 to 55 °C, designated by the part number 778842-01. This feature makes the PXI-8186 suitable for use in a variety of operational environments.
As a 3U PXI module, the PXI-8186 has dimensions of 8.1 x 13 x 21, making it compatible with standard PXI chassis and systems. Its compact
