Description
The CompactRIO Chassis, with part number 782445-01 and model NI-9146, is designed to facilitate robust industrial applications. This chassis features 4 slots for module insertion, enhancing its versatility for various configurations. It utilizes an Ethernet RIO connection, specifically a 10/100 Ethernet network, ensuring reliable and fast data transfer rates suitable for demanding applications.
The software interface for the NI-9146 is compatible with the NI RIO Scan Interface and the LabVIEW FPGA Module, offering users a flexible programming environment. The chassis is powered by a Spartan-6 LX45 FPGA, providing substantial processing power for complex computations and control tasks. Notably, the LabVIEW Real-Time Module is not required for systems based on Windows, simplifying the setup for many users.
Mounting options for the NI-9146 are exceptionally versatile, including horizontal positioning on a flat, vertical, metallic surface; panel or wall in various configurations; non-metallic surfaces; enclosures; desktops; racks; and 35 mm DIN rails. This flexibility ensures that the chassis can be installed in almost any industrial environment. It is designed to operate in ambient temperatures of up to 70 °C, provided it is mounted horizontally on a flat, vertical, metallic surface, ensuring reliability even in harsh conditions.
For optimal operation, the chassis requires 1 inch of air circulation clearance on the top and bottom, and 2 inches of cabling clearance in front of the modules. These requirements are crucial for maintaining the longevity and performance of the device by ensuring proper ventilation and ease of maintenance.
