Description
The NI-9401 is a versatile component in the C Series Digital I/O category, characterized by its flexibility and adaptability to various configurations and environments. This module is available under two distinct part numbers: 779351-01 and 782401-01. The latter is specially conformal coated for additional protection in harsh environments.
The NI-9401 can be configured in multiple ways to suit the needs of different applications, including 8 Digital Inputs, 8 Digital Outputs, or a combination of 4 Digital Inputs + 4 Digital Outputs. This adaptability ensures that the module can seamlessly integrate into a wide range of digital control and monitoring systems.
With 8 bidirectional channels, the NI-9401 offers flexibility in handling data input and output simultaneously. This module is designed to be compatible with 5 V/TTL signal levels, making it a versatile choice for various digital applications. The maximum input/output (I/O) propagation delay is remarkably low at 100 ns, ensuring swift data processing and minimal lag in critical operations.
The connectivity of the NI-9401 is facilitated through a D-SUB front connector, providing a reliable and easy-to-use interface for wiring and installation. Despite its robust capabilities, the module maintains a lightweight form factor at 5.1 oz, allowing for easy integration into systems without significantly adding to the overall weight.
Designed to operate in extreme conditions, the NI-9401 boasts an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C. This wide range ensures that the module remains operational in both freezing and hot environments, making it suitable for a variety of industrial and outdoor applications.
