Description
The NI-9870 Conformal Coated module, with a part number 198850E-03L, is designed for robust and reliable serial communication. It operates via a Serial, RS232 interface and is equipped with 4 ports, allowing for multiple serial connections. This module requires an external power supply, which can range from 8 to 28 VDC, making it versatile for different power environments.
The module supports a baud rate of up to 921.6 kbit/s per port, ensuring high-speed data transmission. Each port has a buffer size of 64 B, facilitating efficient data handling. Additionally, the module can be used with cable lengths equivalent to 250 pF, providing flexibility in physical setup.
In terms of power consumption, the NI-9870 operates efficiently, requiring only 0.5 W in its max active state and dropping to an incredibly low 50 µW in sleep mode. This ensures minimal energy usage during operation and idle periods. The module is designed to operate within a wide temperature range, from -40 °C to 70 °C for operating conditions and -40 °C to 85 °C for storage, making it suitable for harsh environments.
It also boasts a high resistance to vibration, withstanding 5 grms (random) and 5g (sinusoidal) vibrations in the frequency range of 10 to 500 Hz. This durability makes it an excellent choice for industrial applications where mechanical stress is a concern.
Regarding software compatibility, the module supports a variety of programming environments, including LabVIEW, LabVIEW FPGA, Visual C#, and Visual C++. This compatibility ensures that engineers can integrate the module into their projects with their preferred software tools.
The unit has a weight of 5.4 oz, making it lightweight yet robust enough for most applications requiring serial communication. Overall
