National Instruments 785673-01 Rackmount External Controller

The National Instruments 785673-01 (RMC-8357) is a 1U rackmount external controller specifically designed for high reliability test and measurement applications. This model is built to control PXI Express based systems. It is powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4 eight-core processor that provides excellent performance for demanding tasks. The controller is capable of supporting up to 32 GB of DDR4 SDRAM. This robust unit is well suited for applications that require extensive computational power and high throughput.

The 785673-01 model supports up to four front accessible removable 2.5-inch drives. This flexibility in storage management allows for the expansion of storage capacity or the configuration of RAID for data redundancy and performance improvements. The system is built to handle various storage configurations including solid-state drives which offer faster access times and greater reliability. The device’s hard disk drive interface operates using SATA III technology. This offers high speed data transfer capabilities that meet the demands of modern applications.

The power system of the NI 785673-01 is designed for flexibility and reliability. The controller accepts both AC and DC inputs with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC and 23 to 36 VDC respectively. This ensures the unit can be used in a wide variety of environments. It also supports redundant power supply options which increase operational reliability by providing a backup in the case of power supply failure. 

This controller is equipped with several essential interfaces including four USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports and two RJ45 LAN ports for networking. It also supports video outputs through DVI, DisplayPort and an optional PCIe video graphics card. The system includes two RS-232 serial ports that allow it to interface with a variety of external devices.

The 785673-01 controller is built to meet industrial standards for mechanical shock and vibration. The device is rated to handle mechanical shocks of up to 30 g and operational random vibrations in a frequency range from 5 to 500 Hz. Its wide operating temperature range (0°C to 50°C) and high humidity tolerance further contribute to its suitability for demanding applications.
