Description
The National Instruments FP-PWM-520 is a sophisticated FieldPoint Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) Output Module, identified by the part number 777518-520, that boasts eight sourcing output channels for PWM signals. This module allows for a wide range of output period configurations, starting from as short as 1 millisecond up to a maximum of 65535 milliseconds, adjustable in 1-millisecond increments, providing users with extensive control over timing.
Designed for compatibility with the FP-TB-x FieldPoint terminal base, the module facilitates ease of installation thanks to its hot-swappable feature, enabling it to be added or removed from a live system without interruption. A critical safety feature of the NI FP-PWM-520 module is its complete optical isolation, which separates it from the rest of the FieldPoint bank to protect both the module and the system.
Moreover, the module is equipped with special gear for short-circuit protection, ensuring reliable operation, and offers the convenience of software-resettable channels, allowing for easy maintenance. During the OFF state, the module ensures only a minimum leakage current flows, contributing to its efficient performance.
Each of the eight output channels can operate with an independently settable duty cycle ranging from 0% to 100%, providing the flexibility to meet various application requirements. With the capability to drive up to 1 A per channel, this module is well-suited for demanding applications that require robust output performance.
