Description
The NI 9144 is an 8-slot Deterministic Ethernet Chassis, part of the CompactRIO Chassis category. It is designed to meet the needs of robust and high-performance applications. The part numbers for this chassis are 780438-01 for the version without conformal coating and 780438-02 for the one with conformal coating.
This chassis is powered by a 2M gate Xilinx Spartan FPGA, making it capable of handling complex processing tasks efficiently. To integrate the NI 9144 into your system, it requires specific software environments: LabVIEW 2016 or later, LabVIEW 2016 Real-Time Module or later, NI CompactRIO Device Drivers August 2016 or later, NI-Industrial Communications for EtherCat 16.1 or later, and LabVIEW 2016 FPGA Module or later.
For optimal performance, a 48 W, 24 VDC power supply is recommended, although the chassis can operate within a wide input range of 9 V to 30 V. Despite its robust capabilities, the maximum power consumption is only 20 W, making it an energy-efficient choice for many applications.
The chassis is designed to withstand harsh operating conditions, with a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C and operating shock resistance of 30 g, 11 ms half sine; 50 g, 3 ms half sine. This durability ensures reliable performance in a variety of environments.
The NI 9144 utilizes an EtherCat bus connector, providing high-speed, deterministic communication with other devices in the system. It weighs 32.7 oz and has compact dimensions, making it easy to integrate into your setup without requiring a lot of space.
