National Instruments sbRIO-9694 Digital I/O Breakout RMC

The National Instruments sbRIO-9694 (Part Number: 153171-01) Digital I/O Breakout RMC is a crucial part intended for industrial automation applications. The capabilities of the system for digital input and output operations are increased thanks to this breakout board, which enables smooth connectivity between the sbRIO platform and external devices. With its sturdy construction and 96 digital I/O channels, the sbRIO-9694 offers more versatility for control and monitoring applications.

The breakout board may accommodate different wire layouts and integration requirements with its 64 channels accessible through screw terminals and its additional 32 channels accessible through holes spaced 100 millimeters apart. Each channel has been rigorously tested to ensure reliable performance, with a maximum tested current of ±3 mA per channel and a total current capacity of 288 mA for all lines.

Accurate signal detection is ensured by precisely defining the input logic levels, which range from 2.0 V to 3.465 V for VIH and 0 V to 0.8 V for VIL. Output logic levels are equally well-defined, with VOH sourcing 3 mA ranging from 2.4 V to 3.465 V and VOL sinking 3 mA ranging from 0.0 V to 0.4 V. These specifications provide reliable and steady performance in a variety of applications.

Along with dependable power distribution, the sbRIO-9694 has an FPGA VIO (3.3 V) output that can accommodate a current of 0.33 A and a 5 V output that can give up to 1.5 A. In order to ensure safety and prevent damage from overcurrent scenarios, fuse protection is implemented for both 5 V and FPGA VIO outputs. The sbRIO-9694 weighs just 82 g (2.89 oz), making it lightweight for effortless installation and use. It is appropriate for many industrial settings because it is made for indoor usage and can function in a temperature range of -40 to 85 °C.
