Description
The National Instruments cFP-1804 Ethernet/Serial Backplane, with part number 779490-01, offers versatile mounting options including panel mounting and compatibility with a standard 19 inch rack. For regulatory compliance, when utilized with UL Recognized I/O modules, it necessitates housing within a UL Listed NEMA or IP enclosure. Optimizing cooling efficiency is achieved by mounting the backplane with I/O module vents positioned at the top and bottom.
Communication rates for this device include 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and an auto-negotiated rate, serving a wide spectrum of network speeds. The backplane features four slots and is equipped with a network interface that supports both 10BaseT and 100BaseTX Ethernet, adhering to the IEEE802.3 standard. Moreover, it incorporates an RS-232 serial port interface accessible via a 9-pin D-SUB male-to-female straight-through cable.
Configuration of the cFP-1804 is streamlined through the use of the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool. Accommodating a range of connectivity needs, the backplane is designed to work with a cFP-CB-x Connector Block or equivalent connectivity accessory for each I/O module. Compatibility with various software packages is ensured, including LabVIEW, LabVIEW Real-Time module, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, and VI Logger, enhancing its utility in diverse application development environments. Lastly, the backplane maintains a lightweight design, weighing in at only 2 lbs.
