Description
The National Instruments PCI-8430/16 Serial Interface Device, with the part number 779645-01, is designed to facilitate high-speed communication through a 16-port serial interface supporting the RS232 standard. Capable of baud rates up to 1,000 kb/s, this device ensures precise data exchange with an accuracy within 1% for non-standard baud rates and an even higher precision of 0.01% for standard baud rates.
Empowered by the latest DMA engine, it allows for significant throughput while minimizing CPU usage, making it compatible with both hyper-threading and multicore processors. The 128 Bytes FIFO size is ample for most applications, and the device is equipped with 68-pin VHDCI front panel connectors for robust physical connections.
With a modest power requirement of 935 mA typically and 1.4 A maximum at +5 VDC, the PCI-8430/16 is both energy-efficient and powerful. It is a lightweight device, weighing in at just 0.22 lb, and has compact physical dimensions of 4.2 x 6.9 inches. Designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and to be stored in temperatures ranging from –20 to 70 °C, it is a durable and reliable solution for various industrial environments.
