National Instruments 782361-01 Device for PXI Remote Control

The National Instruments part number 782361-01 is the identifying part number for the PCIe-8381 Device for PXI Remote Control. This is a powerful interface card that facilitates effortless linking of a host computer and external chassis to ensure efficient transmission and reception of data for complex measurement and control systems. As part of the National Instruments’ family, this interface card is entirely compliant with PCI Express specifications including releases 1.0a, 1.1, and 2.0, which means it is versatile enough for use in different scenarios.

Physically, the 782361-01 device has dimensions measuring 6.89 cm x 12.70 cm (2.71 x 5.00 in.) which make it suitable for many system configurations while requiring only one PCI Express slot (x8 or greater) on a host computer. This device can transmit up to 5 meters away without any effect on its performance. The power needs of the PCle device are not demanding; typically consuming about 500 mA on the +3.3V rail as well as 350 mA on the +12V rail. Its maximum current draw is 800 mA on the +3.3 V rail and also 500mA on the +12V rail, thus showing effective power saving during operation under different conditions.

The environmental specifications provided by the show how tough it can be. The temperature range over which it functions are from 0 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius while it can be kept between -20 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius. The equipment can operate efficiently within an operating relative humidity range of 10% to 90% non-condensing, and it can be kept in storage humidity range of 5-95% non-condensing. Additionally, up to an altitude of 2000 meters is where it can be used hence making it suitable for many geographical areas.

When designing the 782361-01, safety and compliance played a significant role. The instrument complies with IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1, UL 61010-1, and CSA 61010-1 standards as required by IT industry. Moreover, this device meets strict Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements such as EN 61326-1 Electrical equipment for measurement control purposes, EN55011 Industrial scientific medical (ISM) radio-frequency equipment, AS/NZS cispr11 Radio interference characteristics limiting and measurement methods, FCC47CFR part15B Radio frequency devices, ICES001 information technology equipment which produce or use electromagnetic energy ensuring no noise to any other nearby electronic apparatus.
