NI-9870

Description

The National Instruments NI-9870 C Series Serial Interface Module is designed with four RS-232 serial ports that adhere to the ANSI/EIA/TIA-232 standard, offering high-speed communication with baud rates of up to 921.6 kbit/s per port and a maximum data transfer rate of 2 Mbit/s. It comes in two versions, with part numbers 779891-02 (not conformal coated) and 779891-03 (conformal coated), to suit different environmental requirements.

With individual 64 B buffers for each port, the module optimizes space on the CompactRIO FPGA and simplifies programming. It operates efficiently with a power consumption of only 0.5 W maximum when active, and goes down to up to 50 µW in sleep mode. The module requires an external power supply voltage of 8 to 28 VDC, ensuring flexibility in power management.

Compatible with a range of software including the NI-RIO driver, LabVIEW, LabVIEW FPGA module, Visual C#, and Visual C++, this module is versatile for various applications. Weighing only 5.4 oz, it maintains reliable performance over a wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C and a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C, making it suitable for harsh environments.
