Description
The National Instruments ER-8 Electromechanical Relay, with part number 777080-01, is a versatile and reliable device designed for varied applications. This particular model, ER-8, features single-pole double-throw (SPDT) contacts, providing users with 8 independent relays for comprehensive control. Each relay is accessible through 8 dedicated digital lines, allowing for precise operation.
Users can benefit from multiple connection options including normally open, normally close, and common terminals, which cater to a wide range of circuit configurations. The ER-8’s switching mechanism is characterized by a break-before-make function, ensuring safe and reliable transitions between connections.
Compatibility with MIO, Lab, and other NI digital devices makes the ER-8 a flexible solution for many systems. Operational status is easily monitored with 1 power LED and 8 channel LEDs, providing clear and immediate visual feedback. The relay operates within a maximum working voltage of 250 Vrms, with a swift operate time of 10 ms and a release time of 5 ms.
For physical connections, the ER-8 is equipped with DIO-24 and DIO-32 50-pin male ribbon cable connectors on the front, and IN and OUT 26-pin male ribbon-cable connectors internally. These features ensure that the ER-8 can be integrated into various setups with ease, making it a suitable choice for testing and control applications in both laboratory and industrial environments.
