The National Instruments PXI-6509 module is an industrial 96-channel digital I/O interface for PXI systems. The NI PXI-6509, which has 96 bidirectional digital input/output lines with high current drive capability (24 mA), is completely jumper free. With the PXI-6509, you can input and output at 5 VDC digital levels and directly drive external digital devices such as solid-state relays (SSRs) with current up to 24 mA per channel. Each port (8 lines) can be configured for input or output, and no external power supply is required for outputs. Using programmable power-up states, you can configure the initial output states in software, to ensure glitch-free, safe operations when connected to industrial actuators (pumps/valves/motors/relays). Using digital I/O watchdogs, the PXI-6509 can go to a configurable safe output state if a computer or application fault occurs, to ensure detection and safe recovery from fault conditions when connected to industrial actuators. With change detection, the digital I/O device notifies and triggers your software application when a digital change of state occurs (without polling). Programmable input filters eliminate glitches/spikes and provide debouncing for digital switches/relays through a software-selectable digital filter. NI-DAQmx software technology includes DAQ Assistant to create your application with no programming. NI-DAQmx makes it fast and easy to configure your device and take advantage of all the high reliability industrial features in LabVIEW, ANSI C, Microsoft VisualC++, or Microsoft .NET Languages (C# and Visual Basic .NET).
