Description
The NI NI-9266 is an 8-Channel Current Output Module within the National Instruments C Series designed for industrial automation applications. Here’s a breakdown of its functionality and how to find more information about it:
Function:
- The NI-9266 serves to control and regulate current flow in various industrial processes. It has eight individual output channels, allowing you to independently control the current delivered to multiple devices or actuators.
- It commonly offers a current output range of 0 mA to 20 mA, which is a widely used standard for industrial control signals. This range enables precise control over various current-driven devices like solenoid valves, proportional valves, and motor controllers.
Features:
- High-Resolution Output: The NI-9266 provides high-resolution current output with 16-bit digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), ensuring precise control over the delivered current.
- Open-Loop Detection: The NI-9266 incorporates open-loop detection functionality. This safety feature helps identify situations where an output channel might not be delivering the intended current due to a malfunction or disconnected wiring.
- Software Configuration: The NI-9266 can be configured and controlled through National Instruments software like LabVIEW or NI-DAQmx driver software. This allows for programmatic control of the current output on each channel based on
your application requirements.- Ground Channel Isolation: The NI-9266 likely offers isolation between the output channels and the module’s ground for improved noise immunity and safety.
