The National Instruments PCI-6515 board is an industrial 64-channel isolated digital I/O interface for PCI. The NI PCI-6515, which has 32 digital inputs with optical isolation provided in banks of eight channels, is completely jumper free. You can wire each input bank in a source or sink configuration. The module has 32 sink digital outputs in 8-channel banks. With the PCI-6515, you can input and output at digital levels up to 30 VDC and switch currents of up to 475 mA for one channel per bank. Isolation protects your system from noise and spikes and breaks ground loops. Using the 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 the digital I/O watchdogs, the board can go to a configurable safe output state if a computer or application fault occurs, providing fault detection recovery. With change detection, the PCI-6515 notifies and triggers your software application when a digital change of state occurs (without polling). Programmable input filters eliminate noise and provide debouncing for digital switches/relays through a software-selectable filter. The NI-DAQmx software technology includes NI 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 Visual C++, or Microsoft .NET Languages (C# and Visual Basic .NET).
National Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, however unexpected failures can still occur. Extended warranties provide a fixed economical price at the time of system purchase, covering any repair costs for up to three years. In addition, they offer the following benefits:
Significant cost savings compared to individual repair incidents
Fault location, diagnostics, and repair by NI any time the system product fails
All parts and labor costs covered as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications
NI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-accuracy measurements. NI provides manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software to calibrate many NI measurement products.
Return your registered product under warranty at no additional labor and parts cost. NI offers fault location, diagnostics, and repair any time the system fails as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications.
