Description
The National Instruments NI-9860 is categorized under Automotive Networking Products and is identified by its part number 200383A-01, with alternates 783703-01 and 783703-03. This model is a crucial system element for Integration Engineering Systems (IES), specifically designed as a Module Assembly for the NI 9860. It features a Dual Port, NI-XNET Hardware-Selectable Interface which makes it an adaptable and efficient solution for various networking applications.
The NI-9860 is a C Series Vehicle Multiprotocol Interface Module that acts as a hardware-selectable High-Speed/Flexible Data-rate (HS/FD) controller area network (CAN) and/or local interconnect network (LIN) interface. This module is an integral part of the NI-XNET platform and is primarily used in applications requiring the high-speed manipulation of hundreds of frames and signals. It necessitates an external power supply, which should be within the range of +9 to +30 V.
For power connection, the VSUP connector is located on the module’s front panel, where the black wire is for COM, and the red wire is for VSUP. Notably, the NI-9860 supports FlexRay, with the NXP TJA1080 FlexRay buses per port. This feature is compatible with the FlexRay standard and supports baud rates up to 10 Mbps. Additionally, the module incorporates Digital Power Management, which supports a low-power sleep mode, making it energy-efficient for extended use.
Network termination is also a flexible feature of the NI-9860, with software selectable options of 80 ohms between Bus Plus and Bus Minus or no termination. This flexibility ensures that the module can be adapted to various network configurations and requirements, making it a versatile choice for automotive networking applications.
