PCI-6516

  • Low-cost solution with advanced features for industrial control and manufacturing test applications
  • Low-cost connectivity with 37-pin accessories
  • High-reliability industrial feature set including optical isolation
  • Watchdogs, programmable power-up states, high current drive
  • NI-DAQmx Measurement Services software for highest productivity and performance (v 7.2 and higher)
  • 32 source outputs (±30 VDC, 350 mA for one channel, 75 mA for all channels) 
The National Instruments PCI-6516 board offers 32 optically isolated digital source output channels with low-cost 37-pin accessory connectivity. The NI PCI-6516 has 32 digital outputs with optical isolation provided in banks of 32 channels. With programmable power-up states, you can configure the initial output states in software, to ensure safe operation when connected to industrial actuators (pumps/valves/motors/relays). Using digital I/O watchdogs, the device can go to a configurable safe output state if a computer or application fault occurs. NI-DAQmx makes it fast and easy to configure your device and take advantage of all the high reliability industrial features with automatic code generation in LabVIEW, ANSI C, Microsoft Visual C++, or Microsoft .NET Languages (C# and Visual Basic .NET). For optical isolation in banks of eight channels, consider the PCI-6512 board. For channel-channel isolation and a ±60 V output range, consider the PCI-6528 board.
