The National Instruments PCI-6518 board offers 16 optically isolated sink/source input channels, and 16 optically isolated source output channels with low-cost 37-pin accessory connectivity. The NI PCI-6518 inputs and outputs are optically isolated in banks of 16 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 board 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 board 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-6514 board. For channel-channel isolation and a ±60 V output range, consider the PCI-6528 board.

Extended Warranties
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.
