NI 9206

16-Ch ±200 mV to ±10 V, 16-bit, Analog Input for Fuel Cells

  • 16 differential analog inputs
  • ±200 mV, ±1 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V programmable input ranges
  • 16-bit resolution, 250 kS/s aggregate sampling rate
  • NIST-traceable calibration
  • Bank isolated; ideal for fuel cell measurements
  • -40 to 70 °C operating range
  • 600 VDC (US)/400 VDC (EU) Cat I, channel-to-earth

The National Instruments NI 9206 for use with NI CompactDAQ and CompactRIO chassis features 16 differential analog inputs, 16-bit resolution and a maximum sampling rate of 250 kS/s. Each NI 9206 channel has programmable input ranges of ±200 mV, ±1 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V.

The NI 9206 provides up to 600 VDC (400 VDC in Europe) bank isolation from earth ground making the module ideal for accurately monitoring large fuel cell and battery stacks. While each bank of measured cells can be up to 600 V from earth ground, each channel of the NI 9206 must remain within 10 V of the module COM. By referencing the module COM to the middle of NI 9206 bank, 16 consecutive cells can be measured.

The NI 9206 comes with the NI 9941 connector accessory, which includes a spring terminal connector and backshell to provide strain relief for taking high-voltage measurements.

NOTE: The NI 9206 shall not be connected to MAINs CAT II, III, or IV circuits. The NI 9206 is a UL Recognized component that must be installed in a suitably UL-rated enclosure such as the NI 9917 or NI 9918 industrial enclosures. See the product manual for proper installation and restrictions for safe use of the NI 9206, and explanation of measurement categories (CAT).

System Assurance Programs

Reduce your setup time and total cost of ownership, and get a system you can use out of the box with National Instruments system assurance programs. System assurance programs include:

  • Installation and integration test of all individual hardware
  • Courtesy installation of system driver sets and application development environments
  • Extended warranty and calibration coverage for up to five years
  • Custom documentation plus a custom restore and startup utility

This service is only available for PXI, NI CompactRIO, and NI Compact FieldPoint systems.

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

For more information about your warranty options:

Calibration

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.

Training

NI training is the fastest, most certain route to productivity with NI tools and successful application development.

Repair Services

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.
